Determination of Structural Elements Intended To Resistance Against Eartquake and Renewable Energy Usage

The primary aim of office buildings is to provide a working environment with innovative solutions for the inclusion of needs of all positions including administrative and managerial workers. While offices can be appearing in almost any building; requirements complicate the construction. These requirements can be due to legal regulations, and technical needs. This study focuses on combined solutions via determination and preliminary calculation of structural components intended to resistance against earthquake and usage of possible renewable energy sources. The project building consists of 10 floors by way of application of reinforced concrete in conjunction with convenient application of heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, PV installation, high level of solar gain and interchangeable design. Static calculations are based on Turkish standards as Turkey is located over large seismic zone.
