Abstract

Sustainable structural design has emerged as a critical approach in the construction industry to minimize environmental impact and optimize resource utilization. This project investigates green engineering practices for the design and construction of multi-storied buildings. By integrating advanced materials, energy-efficient systems, and innovative construction techniques, the study emphasizes reducing carbon emissions, conserving energy, and promoting eco-friendly urban infrastructure. The application of Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) ensures comprehensive evaluation and optimization throughout the building's lifecycle. Additionally, the study assesses structural integrity and resilience using renewable materials and adaptive design principles. Through a comparative analysis of conventional and sustainable designs, the research highlights the long-term benefits of green construction. This project serves as a guideline for engineers, architects, and policymakers to implement sustainable structural solutions in urban environments.
