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 workâinprogress 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 Kaitlyn Triebl. 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. |
Thesis Proposal (Revised 2.29.2012)
Structural Depth The focus of this thesis will be to redesign the lateral system of the New York City Bus Depot. The redesign will take place with bucking restrained braced in place of the moment frames currently perscribed in the design. The goal of this is to reduce the number of overall lateral frames and to control the drifts of the third floor mezzanine and high roof. This will be done in hopes of decreasing cost and time in the construction phase of the project. Breadth 1 - Construction Due to the change in materials and brace type, a study of the construction timeline and an evaluation of a detailed cost analysis will need to be performed. The main focus of the construction breadth will be on the steel connections. Breadth 2 - Daylighting Due to the relocation of the braced frames along the facade, a daylighting breadth will need to be studied for the alteration of glazing. This will include calculations of available daylight, original interior daylight availability, and new glazing placement interior daylight availability.

Thesis Proposal (Revised 1.12.2012)
Structural Depth The focus of this thesis will be to redesign the lateral system of the New York City Bus Depot according to the 2006 International Building Code instead of the 2010 New York State Building Code. This will place the building into seismic design category D rather than seismic design category C. The redesign will take place with braced frames rather than the moment frames currently perscribed in the design. This will be done in hopes of decreasing cost and time in the construction phase of the project. Breadth 1 - Architecture Due to the relocation and redesign of the braced frames, an architecture breadth will need to be studied. This will include a study of the flow of traffic within the bus depot and a remodeling of the exterior facade. Breadth 2 - Construction Due to the change in materials and brace type, a study of the construction schedule's critical path and an evaluation of a detailed cost analysis will need to be pformed To view the full proposal, click the image below:
