Welcome to Mike Synnott's AE Senior Thesis e-Portfolio
Thesis Proposal
In Depth Work:
A change in the structure of Building B from a composite steel floor system and braced frame lateral resistance system to a flat slab with drop panels and shear wall design.
Breadth Topic 1
The first breadth analysis investigated is an in depth cost analysis of the structure. RS – Means and possibly Primavera software will be used to acquire a precise cost of construction. This will then be compared to the original cost of construction.
Breadth Topic 2
The second breadth analysis is an investigation of the history of Towers Crescent building B. Building B was designed based off an existing building, designed by Phillip Johnson, which was built in the 1980’s. Also, how all the buildings in the site interconnect will be investigated.
