Technical Assignment II
In this technical report, alternative floor framing options were investigated for the feasibility of potential design implementation. Floor systems were preliminarily deisgned and layed out to determine typical member sizes. Each system was then evaluated for system weight, structural depth, impact on lateral system, servicability, and cost.
Four structural floor framing systems were evaluated as they applied to a typical 20'x40' bay. The four systems that were investigated in this report are as follows:
Steel Composite Beam, Existing System
Rinforced Concrete Joists with Girders
Reinforced Concrete Joists with Girders, Alternative Layout
Two Way Post Tensioned Flat Plate, Double Bay Layout
A full summary of each system and the results of the evaluation can be found in the report. To view the pdf version of the report please click the image to the right or click here. |
