Structural design features of the community commercial buildings in comprehensive development system

Abstract

The necessity of comprehensive development of the urban residential areas in Ukraine, which is presented as a project management system, presumes the achievement of the strategic objective – improvement of people’s residence comfort by the use of various design solutions for community commercial buildings. The study of the structural organization of public buildings was made to enable the formation of community commercial buildings. The advantages of different architectural structural systems developed in architectural bureaus and research institutes are defined. Based on desk studies and practical research outcomes benefits of diverse structural systems for formation of small cellular units and big show rooms in commercial buildings are identified. The merits of light metal structures are noted, as well as of the architectural structural systems developed on their basis. A new methodology of community building formation is suggested by the use of universal structure set. The possibilities of their use in the urban residential areas are studied. It is well reasoned that the decision on the choice of the commercial building structural system should be made following the objective evaluation of the particular situation, to provide for comprehensive development of the urban residential areas, presented as a project management system. The project deliverables will be the detailed design and technological documentation in the form of commercial buildings design projects.
