Welcome to Kevin's AE Senior Thesis e-Portfolio
Final Report
This repots covers information researched and developed over the past semester of work. It includes descriptions of the existing building conditions, general architecture, and other building systems. The problem of reducing the buildings height by ten feet is answered by designing a post-tensioned concrete structure. Econimics of both projects are then compared to determine if the the project economics of both buildings are similar.. Also included are investigations into acoustical and lighting design changes that would occur when the ceiling heights were lowered.

User Note:
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 work-in-progress 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 Kevin Clouser. 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.
