Final Presentation and Report

The following report contains a comprehensive study of the structural system of Hunter College School of Social Work. An alternative lateral load resisting system is explored in depth, along with a few broader topics as well. A braced lateral system is proposed as opposed to a moment frame system. Along with the installation of a new LEED certified façade and the expansion of the green roofs, the structures supporting these systems are also analyzed. This includes the gravity framing system as well as the storm water management tank dunnage platform. Please find the executive summary and the complete report below.

Note:While great efforts have been taken to provide accurate and complete information on the pages of CPEP, please be aware that the infor- mation contained herewith is considered a work-in-progress for this thesis project. Modifications and changes related to the original buil- ding designs and construction methodologies for this senior thesis project are solely the interpretation of Vanessa Rodriguez. 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

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. For an explanation of this capstone design course and its requirements.
