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 Justin Purcell. 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 |
This is a student generated Capstone Project e-Portfolio (CPEP) produced in conjunction with the AE Senior Thesis e-Studio |
This report investigates a redesign of the gravity and lateral systems of the Administration Building
The original system utilizes composite steel beams/girders and braced frames as the lateral system. The proposed system utilizes a one-way CIP concrete slab with moment frames as the lateral system.
A cost and schedule comparison between the original system and the proposed system was performed.
An electrical redesign to limit the number of transformers was performed.
