Final Report

This final report includes a structural depth involing the redesign of the office wing of the University Academic Center into a concrete structure separated from the original steel structure. The new design consists of a one-way pan joist floor system and ordinary concrete momentframes to resist lateral loads in both axes of analysis.

In addition to the structural depth, two breadth topics were also discussed. These were construction related issues arrizing from the changed concrete structure, particularly cost and scheduling impacts, and a lighting redesign of a typical computer lab space from recessed lighting to pendant fixtures.

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‐inprogress 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 Alexander Altemose. 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.
