Final Report:

 

The following report contains the analysis and design of the structural system for 8621 Georgia Avenue. A structural overview of the initially designed building is included at the beginning before introducing the design scenario. The primary structural redesign was completed with a composite steel system. The foundation system was also redesigned in order to optimize the design. The lateral system was also redesign and analyzed to verify the structural integrity of the building.

 

Two breadth studies were performed along with the structural breadth. The first breadth was a ventilation system for the below grade parking garage. The second breadth study included a cost analysis of the entire project in order to determine the feasibility of a steel system.
