Technical Assignments

Technical Report No. 1: Structural Concepts& Existing Conditions Report
This report studies the structural existing conditions of Hunter College School of Social Work. Included in this report is wind, seismic, and gravity analyses, as well as prevalent codes and a detailed description of the structural system.

 


Technical Report No. 2: Alternate Floor Framing Systems Report

This report examines 3 alternative flooring systems for use in Hunter College School of Social Work. Potential systems were designed and compared to the existing for their feasibility, based on factors such as cost, floor depth, weight, fire-proofing and constructibility.

 

Technical Report No. 3: Lateral System Analysis and Confirmation Design Report
This report examines the lateral system of Hunter College School of Social Work. Included in this report is a study of torsion, overturning, and strength checks. Hand calculations and an ETABS model were used for this analysis.

Note:While great efforts have been taken to provide accurate and complete information on the pages of CPEP, please be aware that the infor- mation contained herewith is considered a work-in-progress for this thesis project. Modifications and changes related to the original buil- ding designs and construction methodologies for this senior thesis project are solely the interpretation of Cassandra Watson. 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 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. For an explanation of this capstone design course and its requirements.
