TECHNICAL REPORTS

Technical Report 1

Technical Assignment 1 is an existing structural systems report. Calculations of gravity loads as well as lateral loads (wind and seismic) were performed. Spot checks of structural members were performed to gain a better understanding of the existing structural system.

Technical Report 2

Technical Assignment 2 contains a pro – con structural study of alternate floor systems for the PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) building. For reference on existing conditions, architectural background and a structural systems discussion is provided. The focus of the report is a written comparison on how three alternative floor systems relate to the PwC building. To indicate preliminary member and slab sizes, each  system contains a schematic design for gravity loads only. The report is concluded with a chart that summarizes features of each floor system.

Technical Report 3

Technical Assignment 3 contains an analysis of the lateral force resisting system of the PricewaterhouseCoopers building. To confirm the design of the existing lateral system a simplified 3-D structural model was constructed using ETABS.
