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 Paul Parfitt. 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. |

Technical Assignments
Technical Assignment 1 is a report that gives basic information about the design and design standards for Point Pleasant Apartments. It contains a simplified seismic analysis as well a wind analysis that follows Method 2 of ASCE 7-05. In addition, you will find a spot check for both a beam and column along with a typical framing plan and exterior wall section.

Technical Assignment 2 explores four alternate flooring systems and compares their advantages and disadvantages to the existing steel joist and concrete slab. The designs for these systems are simplified to one bay just to get a basic idea of how well each system will work. Solutions determined to be viable will be further developed at a later time.

Technical Assignment 3 is an in depth analysis of the lateral forces due to wind and seismic loading and the distribution of these forces to the braced frames in the building. In this report an ETABS model was created to perform this analysis and to show the story drift for the building.
