Welcome to Chris Shelow's AE Senior Thesis e-Portfolio
Final Report
This report investigates an alternative design of the Koshland Integrated
Natural Science Center (KINSC). The proposed steel framed design was directly
compared to the existing design of precast concrete. As a construction management
breadth study, the two systems were compared in terms of total cost of the
structural system as well as construction duration of each structural system.
Also, a mechanical breadth study on the two structural systems was conducted
comparing the thermal resistance through the temperature-controlled laboratory
floors.

User Note:
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 Chris Shelow. 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.
