Tech Report 1
(Existing Conditons)
Overview of the existing structure including foundation details, gravity and lateral systems, and a closer look at the structural load path and other special elements of AC Philadelphia.
Structural Notebook Submission A
In-depth analysis of the gravity (floor) and lateral (wind & seismic) loads being applied to the structure. Floor & wall sections are displayed for viewing pleasure.
Structural Notebook Submission B
Analysis of a typical floor bay and a comparison between three alternative framing schemes weighing pros and cons. A PPT presentation is also available w/ summarized information of the report.
Structural Notebook Submission C
Analysis of the lateral force resisting elements (LFRE) of the building. Building drift limits are established base on overall building height and material. A 3D model was created in RAM Structural System to get a better understanding of the building's behavior under lateral loading.
