User Note: While great efforts have been taken to provide accurate and complete information on the pages of CPEP, please be aware that the information contained herewith is considered a work‐in‐progress for this thesis project. Modifications and changes related to the original building designs and construction methodologies for this senior thesis project are solely the interpretation of Jonathan Kirk. Changes and discrepancies in no way imply that the original design contained errors or was flawed. Differing assumptions, code references, requirements, and methodologies have been incorporated into this thesis project; therefore, investigation results may vary from the original design. |

The purpose of this report is to research the methods used to design the existing structural system for Miami University’s new building for the School of Engineering and Applied Science. A description of the building’s foundation, floor system, columns, and lateral resisting system are included within the report.
The purpose of this report is to analyze and design four alternative floor systems that could have been used in lieu of the current system. Each system is then compared to the current structure, and a final recommendation is made based on various performance and economic creitera.
The purpose of this report is to analyze and evaluate the existing lateral resisting system against both wind and seismic loads. Spot checks of framing elements were performed against strength and serviceability requirements.
