User 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 Daniel C. Myers. 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.

Thesis Research

The following resources have been referenced for the purposes of the Final Thesis Report:

- International Code Council. 2006 International Building Code. Belmont: Cengage Delmar Learning, 2006.

Code followed in design and investigation of the Cancer Hospital.

- Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures, ASCE Standard 7-05. Reston, VA: ASCE/SEI, 2005.

Minimum design requirement used in design and investigation. Chapter 12 used in developement of lateral redesign.

- American Concrete Institute. ACI 318-08: Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete. ACI: Farmington Hills, MI, 2008.

Design guidelines followed in the analysis of exisiting system and design of shearwall.

- Manual of Steel Construction, 13th Edition. American Institute of Steel Construction. Chicago: AISC, 2005.

Design guidlines followed in the anaylsis of existing system and redesign of lateral system.

- Nelson, Arthur H. et al. Design of Concrete Structures. 13th ed. New York. TaTa McGraw-Hill, 2005.

Design aid used in the design of the shearwall and associated coupling beams.

- R.S. Means Building Construction Cost Data 2009, 67th Edition. Waier, Philip R., R.S. Means, 2008.

Standard used in the determination of cost data for the new design.

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 guidelines provided by the Department of Architectural Engineering.
