Technical Assignments |
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 guidlines provided by the Department of Architectural Engineering.

Technical Report 1: |
Existing Structural Conditions |
|
Technical Report 1 examines the exisitng structural conditions of the SUNY Upstate Cancer Center in Syracuse, New York, as well as the required loads it is intended to carry. Included in this report are detailed descriptions of each individual structural system, calculations for gravity and lateral loads on the building, and spot checks of typical structural components for adequate strength and serviceability limits. |

Technical Report 2: |
Evaluation of Alternative Floor Systems |
Technical Report 2 evaluates three alternative floor systems for use in the SUNY Upstate Cancer Center in Syracuse, New York. Each floor system was designed according to the criteria of a typical bay. Comparisons were made among the three proposed floor systems as well as the original design to determine the feasibility of each system. |

Technical Report 3: |
Lateral System Analysis |
Technical Report 3 analyzes the existing lateral force resisting system of the SUNY Upstate Cancer Center in Syracuse, New York, and evaluates its performance based on both strength and serviceability assignments. The analysis was conducted with the use of a three-dimensional structural model constructed using ETABS software. Computer analysis results were checked by hand to confirm the accuracy of the modeling software. |
