Abstract: The master’s thesis comprises five consecutive sections. It involves the development of a project for the construction of a commercial and office complex that meets modern architectural standards and applicable regulatory documents while ensuring mechanical resistance and stability, as well as analyzing the results of a focused scientific study. The Architecture and Construction section presents key natural, climatic, and geological information about the construction site. It develops volumetric and planning, architectural-structural solutions. A master plan has been created considering geographical location, terrain, and environmental conditions. Solutions for landscaping, seismic resistance, fire safety, and environmental protection, including land reclamation and the prevention of natural resource loss, have been proposed. The necessity of providing a parking area with a shared entrance and exit and its design principles per national standards is substantiated. The multifunctionality of the complex and its floor-by-floor zoning, based on an adopted gallery-type layout scheme, are described in detail. Additionally, solutions for building inclusivity are included to ensure unobstructed access for people with a disability and wheelchair users to all floors. The chosen structural system of the commercial and office complex is a combination of wall-bearing and skeleton structure systems. The main construction materials used for the load-bearing structures are brick masonry and monolithic reinforced concrete. In The Structural Analysis And Design section, four structural elements have been calculated and designed per current state building codes: a floor slab, a two-flight staircase with an intermediate landing, a strip foundation, and a brick column. Surface and linear loads have been gathered, and load combinations have been formed based on their types. The structural calculations have been performed using the limit state method, adhering to general principles of ensuring reliability and structural safety for buildings and structures. The floor slab and staircase have been calculated using the LIRA SAPR 2024 software. The analysis employed six degrees of freedom, generating computational schemes subdivided into quadrilateral finite elements. Reinforcement results have been obtained, and design was carried out. The monolithic strip foundation has been calculated manually, with soil characteristics and the bearing resistance of the foundation base determined. Deformation-based foundation calculations and design have been completed. The brick column on the third floor was analyzed manually, considering it a centrally compressed member subjected to a point load. Flexibility and load-bearing capacity have been assessed, and the necessity of reinforcement meshes installed along the height of the element has been identified. Relevant documentation, including drawings, has been developed for these structures. The Technology And Organization section includes a tabular calculation of construction volumes. Construction machinery, mechanisms, and a tower crane model suitable for the heaviest construction elements were selected. A detailed calendar plan and a technological chart for the installation of monolithic floor slabs have been developed. A construction site master plan was created, including calculations for hazardous zones, temporary roads, facilities, and temporary power and water supply. The Construction Economics section provides a detailed local estimate, object estimate, and consolidated cost estimate for construction works at 2024 current prices. In The Scientific Research section, materials regarding the application of the digital image correlation method in the study of reinforced concrete structures have been analyzed. The key principles of the method are described, along with its advantages and disadvantages. The object of design: a commercial and office complex in Drohobych, Lviv region. The design objective: to design a modern, functional building complex; to develop skills in architectural and construction design; to gain experience in independently making design decisions and scientifically substantiating them; to systematize and apply knowledge acquired during undergraduate studies; and to obtain a master’s qualification. The results of the master’s thesis include project and construction decisions presented in the explanatory note and the graphical part, which comprises architectural drawings, structural drawings, and construction technology and organization drawings on A1 and A2?3 sheets. Keywords: commercial and office complex, designing, calculation, structural design, construction, architecture.
