Technical Report 1: Existing Conditions

Technical Report 1 is a study of the existing conditions and structural design methods established in the SteelStacks Performing Arts Center. This report entails gravity and lateral load calculations for comparison with the existing design, as well as discussions of the current structural systems and functions.

Technical Report 2: Alternate Floor Systems

Technical Report 2 is a study of the existing floor framing system in a comparative analaysis with three alternate floor framing systems. This report compares the existing composite deck and beam system with precast concrete planks on beam, post-tensioned two-way flat plate, and one-way slab on beam systems.

Technical Report 3: Lateral System Analysis

Technical Report 3 is an in-depth analysis of the existing lateral system of the SteelStacks Performing Arts Center. This extensive analysis includes considerations of the controlling lateral loads, torsion, drift, foundation consideration, and member checks through the implementation of a RAM Structural System Model and parallel hand calculations.

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 here with is considered a work-inprogress 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 Sarah Bednarcik. 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.
