1.3. Superstructure
The superstructure of the building is composed of reinforced concrete frames disposed on
two orthogonal main directions, being capable to take the stresses determined by permanent
(ex. self-weight), variable (ex. live loads, snow loads, wind loads etc.), accidental loads (ex.
seismic loads ) according imposed by design norms: SREN 1990-2004, SREN 1992-1-1-2004,
P100 1/2013, CR 1-1-3/2012, CR 1-1-4/2012.
The columns have a square cross-section of 60x60 cm for the first 2 levels and for the 3rd,
4th and 5th floor the cross-section is 50x50 cm; the girders have the cross-section 30x50 cm
and the slabs are made of monolith reinforced concrete and have the thickness of 13 cm.
The slabs are made of reinforced concrete, with the reinforcement bars disposed on two
directions. It has the thickness of 13 cm for assuring the stiffness. The reinforcement is made
with PC52 and OB37 independent bars.
The loadbearing elements of the superstructure (columns, beams, slabs) is made with
concrete of class C20/25.
1.4. Infrastructure
Foundations are designed as continuous beam foundation under columns (beams network
foundation). The concrete footing has 130 cm width and the elements are poured on a leveling
concrete layer of 5 cm. The concrete covering of the reinforcement bars in the foundation is of
5 cm.
The concrete for reinforced elements of the foundation is of class C16/20 and for levelling
layer is of C6/7.5.
1.5. Non-loadbearing elements
The curtain walls are made of autoclaved cellular concrete (ACC) or other lightweight
materials and have the thickness of 20 cm. The interior walls are made with ACC masonry or
lightweight walls of gypsum boards and have the thickness of 15 cm.
1.6. The closing system
The curtain walls are insulated with expanded polystyrene boards of 5 cm thickness
mounted on the exterior part of the wall.
The plate under the ground floor is insulated with extruded polystyrene of 8 cm thickness.
The building has a terrace roof system. The roof insulation is composed of extruded
polystyrene boards and is mounted over the slope concrete layer. It has the thickness of 10 cm.
In order to protect the insulation layer a weak reinforced concrete screed is poured over it.

1.8 Personal Part Description :

In the personal part is studied the comparison between a squared cross-section column
and a circular one.
Squared cross-section:
The squared cross-section column will be reinforced transversally with squared stirrups.
Above and below the girders will be disposed at 10 cm and in the center part at 15 cm. The
stirrups will be of 10 mm diameter. The longitudinal reinforcement will be of 12 bars of 20 mm
diameter and the overlapping length will be of 1.05 m as computed.
The formwork will be chosen from Doka company and the panels will have 3.15 m
height and 60 and 50 cm width.
Circular cross-section:
one.

The circular cross-section column will be reinforced in the same way like the squared

The formwork will be chosen from Doka having the height of 3.00 m and diameter of 60
and 50 cm per one column.
The computation of reinforcement for both types of columns is made in par 3.2 and the
formwork in 3.3. For checking the design plans see drawings R06 and R07.
