Jackson Crossing is a low income residential building in Alexandria, Vigrinia. It is a 5 story wood frame building with a concrete podium slab. For the purpose of this thesis, a redesign was explored to replace the wood frame structure with a full concrete structure. The redesigned structure are two-way reinforced slabs supprted by columns along with moment frames for the lateral system. The results of this redesign are in the final report linked at the top right of this page along with a seperate link to the executive summary.

After redesigning the structure it was found that a two-way reinforced concrete slab system is a reasonable alternative for the structure of Jackson Crossing. Although it increases cost and time to the construction, the redesigned system is durable and has a smaller floor depth when compared to the existing wood framed structure.

Modifications and changes related to the original building designs and construction methodologies for this senior thesis project are solely the interpretation of Michael Bologna. 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.
