Abstract

In this thesis an alternative steel-concrete social-housing is studied with the comparison of the existing cost-efficient construction projects. To accomplish the work the presenter has been point out the problems manifested in the country especially the capital city, Addis Ababa besides the historical development, role and policies of social-housing is presented. In addition the design of G+4, Type B social-housing building is considered in the course of this the design guide line from the design of roof to the footing design is carried out. To complete the design the 3D Model of the frame is analyzed using ETABS 9 software; all loads induced on the frame are considered. Besides the design of the building some construction defects of the normal concrete construction is stated. Since the main aim of this thesis is focused on the alternative steel-concrete social-housing building, the design guide line is specified. The steel process from the design to erection is accomplished by considering bill of materials, erection and detail drawing. And special consideration in structural design and construction is prepared. Finally, the comparison and structural evaluation of the two systems is carried out based on economy, and management and efficiency. From the comparison, some conclusion and recommendation are forwarded.
