Structural Design Considerations

The structural design of buildings in Eko Atlantic City is guided by expected loads, environmental conditions, and regulatory requirements to ensure safety, durability, and performance over the building’s service life. Special attention is given to the coastal location, addressing factors such as chloride content in concrete, fire protection for concrete and steel elements, and durability measures suitable for a marine environment.

Load and Safety Requirements

Designs must account for both vertical and lateral loads, including wind, thermal, and seismic forces, to ensure overall stability and serviceability. Exposure classes, concrete mix specifications, reinforcement protection, and fire-resistance measures are defined to meet stringent standards and international codes, safeguarding the structural integrity of all developments within the City.
