Proposed Schedule
Week 1 (Jan. 9 – Jan. 15) Review proposal and meet with faculty advisor to determine if changes should be made to the proposal.
Week 2 (Jan. 16 – Jan. 22) Investigate and compare composite and non-composite steel framing for re-design of the tower.
Week 3 (Jan. 23 – Jan. 29) Continue modeling of structure and loadings. Compare braced versus moment frames.
Week 4 (Jan. 30 – Feb. 5) Finish modeling of structure. Perform hand-calculations to verify computer data and compare to results.
Week 5 (Feb. 6 – Feb. 12) Continue to check computer model and determine new seismic loadings based on new weight.
Week 6 (Feb. 13 – Feb. 19) Determine effects of re-design on seismic loading. Compare design changes to original design.
Week 7 (Feb. 20 – Feb. 26) Continue investigation to the impact of structural changes on foundations and loadings.
Week 8 (Feb. 27 – Mar. 5) Investigate building envelope and changes in mechanical configuration with new design
Week 9 (Mar. 6 – Mar. 12) Spring Break – work as required. This time will be allotted for necessary schedule changes.
Week 10 (Mar. 13 – Mar. 19) Determine requirements for achieving fire-rating for the selected framing. Begin detailed analysis of cost impact of re-design for structural framing and foundations.
Week 11 (Mar. 20 – Mar. 26) Finish work on breadth topics and begin finalization of report.
Week 12 (Mar. 27 – Apr. 2) Finish remaining work required. Print report when completed.
Week 13 (Apr. 3 – Apr. 9) Submit report and prepare for presentation.
