In this master's thesis, we present the process of analysis and design of typical load-bearing structural elements using the example of a multi-story reinforced concrete residential building in Ljubljana, in accordance with the applicable Eurocode standards. The vertical load-bearing structure of the building consists of walls running from the foundation level to the top of the building, arranged in two perpendicular directions, and columns on the ground floor located along the building's perimeter. The floor and roof structures are designed as flat solid slabs, while the roof framework is made of wood. Based on the architectural design of the building, a computational model of the load-bearing structure is created using the Sofistik software, through which the structural analysis and design are carried out. The initial focus is on the floor structure above the ground floor. Based on the analysis results, all necessary checks are performed to ensure adequate load-bearing capacity and serviceability. For seismic analysis purposes, the computational model of the structure is slightly modified to account for the reduction in flexural and shear stiffness of the vertical elements. This is followed by the design of a selected typical wall for a combination of seismic design load effects. As a result of the design process, reinforcement drawings are produced for the analyzed floor structure and wall.
