These structures must fulfill essential criteria, including structural safety, functionality, and cost-effectiveness. This study explores the structural analysis and design of a four-story primary school building located in Dhorenda, Savar Upazila, Dhaka. The site, encompassing 7.68 Katha, is approximately 12 meters southeast of the Dhaka-Aricha National Highway and 100 meters southeast of Nabinagor market. The primary goal of the project is to develop a multi-story school building that enhances student capacity and provides improved facilities. Various floor plan configurations are evaluated to ensure optimal performance under these forces. The study is organized into two main components: structural analysis and structural design. For structural analysis, the Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) method is applied to determine the impact of various loads, including self-weight, live loads, and wind forces, on the building. Finite element software, ETABS, is utilized to simulate the structure’s behavior and validate its response to these loads. The structural design involves determining the dimensions and reinforcements of key components, such as beams, columns, slabs, and foundations, to ensure the stability and strength of the building. This research highlights the complexities involved in designing and constructing a robust educational facility and offers recommendations for improving the efficiency of similar projects in the future. The findings serve as a resource for professionals seeking to implement sustainable and resilient designs in school infrastructure development.</p> Maksudel Hassan Dibya Lok Paul Ashifur Rahman Shoma Hore Copyright © 2024 Maksudel Hassan, Dibya Lok Paul, Ashifur Rahman, Shoma Hore https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2024-10-30 2024-10-30 7 4 1 13 10.30564/jaeser.v7i4.8666
