User Note:
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 Monica Steckroth. 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.

TECHNICAL ASSIGNMENTS

Technical Assignment 1
This report discusses structural concepts and existing conditions in accordance with building codes and industry standards. Detailed calculations for wind and seismic loads, and analysis of lateral and gravity member spot checks are included.

Technical Assignment 2
This report investigates the effects of alternative floor framing systems against the existing composite steel. Feasibility of each system is evaluated based on constructability, cost, fire rating, aesthetics, vibration, and the overall impact on other structural components. The systems investigated are: noncomposite steel; open-web steel joist; one-way slab with beams, and two-way flat slab with drop panels.

Technical Assignment 3
This report investigates Lockwood Place’s lateral load resisting system. The study was completed through various hand calculations that were verified by computer modeling in SAP2000 and RAM Structural Systems. Evaluation of the lateral system was determined through story shear distributions, drift analysis, and simple member spot checks.

The Capstone Project Electronic Portfolio (CPEP) is a web-based project and information center. It contains material produced for a year-long Senior Thesis class. Its purpose, in addition to providing central storage of individual assignments, is to foster communication and collaboration between student, faculty consultant, course instructors, and industry consultants. This website is dedicated to the research and analysis conducted via guidelines provided by the Department of Architectural Engineering.
