It is a small company; presently we are working with only 2 own employees but we also collaborate with some other companies. Our company mostly develops small residential houses for one or two families. Many projects have been developed by our company, but for sure, the largest one has begun in 2007 for a large company in Bucharest. The main goal for this project is to develop in Bucharest a 5 star hotel with all dependencies and with office buildings. In order to realize a project with the best design, not only economically, but also with regard to effectiveness and time-saving solutions for the execution, we analyzed various types of solutions. One of the best examples is the project we present with a solution for the fourteen-storeyed building for offices with 2 basements. The project is part of a large complex including a luxury hotel and office buildings in the centre of Bucharest. The complex will be executed in 4 years. The project has been authorized in the middle of the year 2008. The main goal for designing this office building is to create as much as necessary parking spaces for the offices above. That is why the building has 2 levels of basement, which is a part of a large basement for the whole constructed area. The rest of the building is designed for offices and spaces which are mandatory for this part of the town. The client requested as much as possible space for his future buildings, because there is a lack of this type of buildings in the surroundings. The main designing problem for this building was to create a correct structure to resist the seismic design in our country. We must specify that our country has a large depth seismic activity, and the designing problems in this type of activity is to create a building which will endure a seismic wave and will not put in danger the life of people who work in it. For tall buildings, with a structure on reinforced concrete frames or steel frames, the response spectrum and the characteristic period are near the main period of that type of buildings (the designed period for Bucharest is Tc=1.6). To create that type of building we needed to create many types of structures to satisfy the client’s necessities. One of the problems was that the client wanted a curtain wall on all facades, but we were not allowed to put any braces, which is almost imperative for tall buildings. That is why the client rejected a cheaper structure, which was based on a steel structure with bracings and a lot quicker to execute. Therefore the structure for this building will be only from concrete elements: columns, beams and shells on all storeys. Office building, Bucharest The project is part of a greater complex which includes a luxury hotel and office buildings in the centre of Bucharest. Below the office building have to be created parking spaces for the offices above, that is why the building has 2 levels of basement. The rest of the building is designed for offices as there is an enormous need for of buildings of this type in the surroundings. The main designing problem for this building was to create a structure to resist the seismic activity.
