Technical Assignments

 

Technical Assignment 1

Technical Assignment 1 is an existing structural systems report. Calculations of gravity loads as well as lateral loads (wind and seismic) were performed. Spot checks of structural members were performed to gain a better understanding of the existing structural system.

Technical Assignment 2

Technical Assignment 2 is a pro-con study of alternate floor systems. Four alternate structural floor systems were investigated and compared to each other as well as the existing floor system.

Technical Assignment 3

Technical Assignment 3 is a lateral system anaylsis of the existing building. Seismic and wind loads were calculated and distributed to the lateral resistance elements, and then these elements were checked for strength capacity.

 

 

*It should be noted that earlier technical assignments might contain errors which were made amend in later techincal assignments as well as the proposal.
