DESIGN OF MULTI-STORY HOTEL IN CARLSBAD, CALIFORNIA, USA

Abstract

This Capstone project's goal is to create a seven-story hotel in Carlsbad, California, that complies with building, safety, and sustainability standards while taking into account the area's moderate seismic activity. There is a demand for an excellent hotel that will start making money soon because the chosen area has good tourism potential but is undersupplied with hotels. This report also includes a sustainable greywater treatment system in addition to preliminary structural, geotechnical, and architectural designs. The structure will have a rectangle building space of 40.7x20.5 m2 and 80 rooms, and it will be built on Carlsbad's west side close to the Pacific Ocean. The structure's architectural design was completed, and subsequently, technical drawings were given. To gather the data for each component and provide the theoretical foundation, secondary data analysis was used. Overall, the report details the need for a parking zone, a 3D view, an elevation view, a parking zone, and any relevant technical drawings in compliance with ASCE 7-10 and IBC standards. Given that Carlsbad is in a seismic zone, reinforced concrete was used for structural members. The structural segment finished estimating member size, choosing materials and structural types, and computing live and dead loads. The soil investigation and liquefaction potential of the soil were evaluated in the geotechnical section, and it was determined that the soil is not liquefiable. It was decided to use precast concrete pile foundations with square cross sections. Given the rising demand for water, it was decided to implement the Greywater Treatment System (GTS) in the environmental section of the water supply analysis. Overall, all project sections, as well as the initial design, calculations, and drawings, have made great progress.
