Tech Reports
Technical Report One Posted ... 09.23.11 (Revised)
Technical Report One is an Existing Structural Conditions Report containing physical conditions of the CityFlatsHotel structure regarding design concepts and required loading. Checks were perrformed on several gravity mambers to verify their adequacy.
Technical Report Two Posted ... 10.19.11 (Revised)
Technical Report Two is a Preliminary Feasibility Study of three alternate floor systems for the CityFlatsHotel. Factors such as system weight, depth, cost and constructability among others have been considered. The three floors systems studied include:
Precast Hollow-Core Plank on Steel
Composite Steel Deck
One-Way Joist System
A brief summary of the existing floor system, as well as a detailed discussion that considers the advantages and disadvantages of the alternate floor systems are provided. Once the comparison of each system is made, the most feasible alternate floor system that could be used at CityFlatsHotel is determined.
Technical Report Three Posted ... 11.16.11
Tenical Report Three is an Existing Lateral force Resisting System Report of the CityFlatsHotel which analyzes the lateral system under wind and seismic loads calculated in Tecnical Report One. The analysis investigates the results these forces had on the structure. Its resulting shears, overturning moments, and drift values were compared to code requirements.
