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 in progress 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 Samantha deVries. 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.

Technical Reports

Technical Report 1: Existing Conditions This report describes the existing conditions of 11141 Georgia Avenue. It provides a structural overview of the foundation system, floor and roof framing systems, later resisting system, and joint details. This report also includes an overview of the loading conditions used in the design of the building. Click the Thumbnail below to view this report. Please note that this is a draft under review and will be resubmitted at the end of the fall semester. Technical Report 2: Building Codes, Specifications, and Loads This report identifies all building codes and specifications used in the design of the building. Using these and other relevant documents, gravity, wind, and seismic loads are determined and summarized in the report. Click the Thumbnail below to view this report. Please note that this is a draft under review and will be resubmitted at the end of the fall semester. Technical Report 3: Typical Member Spot Checks for Gravity Loads and Alternate Systems Typical Bay Design Study This report includes and evaluation of typical members for gravity loads and explores alternate gravity framing systems for the building. The focus of this study, which addresses the relative merits of different systems, is on a typical bay on the building. In many cases, information from this report will provide a basis for the proposal of work in the spring semester. Click the Thumbnail below to view this report and its accompanying presentation. Please note that this is a draft under review and will be resubmitted at the end of the fall semester. Technical Report 4: Lateral System Analysis Study This report includes a full evaluation and assessment of the existing lateral systems. The supporting information for this report will include both computer modeling and manual calculations. Click the Thumbnail below to view this report and its accompanying presentation. Please note that this is a draft under review and will be resubmitted at the end of the fall semester.Tech_Reports_files/Technical%20Report%203%20Presentation.pptx
