STRUCTURAL INSTRUCTI ONSDue to the modifications of architectural and electromechanical drawings to satisfy the owner and userrequirements for the “M .O.I. HOUSI NG”to get the best use of the provided area for the building and so to modify the electromechanical systems to accommodate building location and to simplify the construction process, the structural drawings should be revised to match the modified architectural and electromechanical requirements, the following items show the criteria which should be followed up and applied to the prototype building; 1.For columns, shear walls & axes: a.Columns and shear walls setting out should be checked to match with the final architectural and electromechanical drawings. b.Local buckling of columns should be checked according to floors height as per final architectural and electromechanical drawings. 2.For Floors & Roofs ( Slabs and Beams) : a.Floors (Slabs and beams) block out and beams setting out should be checked to match with final architectural and electromechanical drawings. b.Roofs (Slabs and beams) block out and beams setting out should be checked to match with the final architectural drawings and electromechanical drawings. c.Slabs levels should be checked at different Floors and roofs to match with final architectural and electromechanical drawings and to meet their requirements considering any facilities or raised floors at data rooms, L.C. rooms … .3.For foundations, Ground beams & Slabs on grade: a.Ground beams & slabs on grade setting out should be checked to match with final architectural and electromechanical drawings of ground floor. b.Foundations should be checked to match with final columns setting out as per the final architectural and electromechanical drawings. c.Foundation levels indicated on drawings are only indicative. contractor shall check these levels and make sure that they are in conformance with the actual site conditions and its geotechnical report recommendations. He has to report his findings to the engineer. 4.Mosque & Minaret: a.Columns and shear walls setting out should be checked to match with the final architectural and electromechanical drawings. b.Ground beams & slabs on grade setting out should be checked to match with the final architectural and electromechanical drawings of ground floor.
