This thesis documents the structural design of a two-storey reinforced-concrete (RC) internet café with a timber roof. The project’s primary objective was to develop a complete working-drawing set and calculation package for a G + 1 framed structure situated on shallow foundations. The building footprint measures approximately 12.6 × 9.6 m, with an overall height of 10.5 m. In the absence of geotechnical data, a conservative soil bearing capacity of 200 kN/m² and a friction angle of 26° were assumed for foundation design. Manual load determinations were performed using Eurocode-compliant data for dead, live, snow and wind actions. Slab self-weight was taken as 5 kN/m², finishes and services as 2.5 kN/m², and live loads as 3 kN/m². Roof snow loads were based on a ground snow load of 1.25 kN/m², a 45° roof slope and a shape coefficient of 0.4. These loads were combined under ultimate and serviceability limit states to obtain design actions for each element. RC slabs (200 mm thick) were designed as two-way plates and reinforced with Ø12 bars at 150 mm spacing. Beams were sized at 300 × 500 mm and detailed with 3Ø16 bottom and 2Ø16 top bars, while columns were reinforced with 4Ø16 bars and Ø8 ties. Footings were proportioned to maintain stresses within the assumed soil bearing capacity. The timber roof was designed to Eurocode 5, with purlins, rafters, collars and struts dimensioned and verified for bending, shear and buckling. Joint connections were checked using Johansen theory. At each stage, bar-bending schedules and detailed reinforcement drawings were produced. The final design satisfies strength and serviceability requirements; calculations show adequate capacity for slabs, beams, columns and roof members, while the foundation system ensures safe transfer of loads to the ground. This work demonstrates that a well-structured manual design process, grounded in Eurocode principles, can yield a comprehensive and buildable solution while enhancing the engineer’s understanding of structural behavior.
