This thesis presents the design and static analysis of the load-bearing construction, built in 2008 as a
part of the multi-residential building. Load-bearing construction is made out of reinforced concrete
and consists of walls, walls with openings and deep beams which interconnect with the monolith
horizontal plates. The design is carried out in accordance with the current Eurocode standards. The
impacts, which affect the building as self-load and permanent loads, imposed loads, snow and wind
loads and also seismic effects, are taken into account. When designing the load-bearing construction
the focus is on analysis of typical load-bearing elements. Analysis is based on idealized computer
models made in commercial programs SAFE (horizontal plate), ETABS (vertical load-bearing
elements) and SAP (deep beam). The design of load bearing elements is done by the limit states
method. Vertical load-bearing elements were however additionally designed in accordance with
capacity design method. The purpose of the thesis is to compare the amount of reinforcement
established in accordance with the Eurocode standards with the built-in reinforcement established
under the old Yugoslav regulations PBAB. The comparison in the ceiling plate indicates that the
deviation in the amount of the necessary and built-in reinforcement is due to differences in the
accuracy of computational models. Deviations between built-in and necessary reinforcements in the
deep beam are also consequences of a more accurate model used in the thesis. On that account, the
amount of built-in reinforcement exceeds the amount of reinforcement established under Eurocodes;
however the diagonal hanging reinforcement required in the juncture of transverse wall and deep beam
is not built-in. The amount of reinforcement embedded in the wall without openings exceeds the
amount of reinforcement defined under Eurocodes. When comparing vertical reinforcement in the wall
between beams, we discover that less reinforcement is built-in than required by Eurocodes. Also, the
amount of built-in shear reinforcement in the specified beam is smaller than amount calculated in the
thesis. Analysis and design results are presented in the reinforcement drawings enclosed at the end of
the thesis.
