THESIS PROPOSAL
A redesign of the College
of Business Administration using structural steel will be studied. In addition,
a redesign using cast-in-place concrete with a post-tensioned slab will be
studied. These redesigns will be done by changing the current precast concrete
building while trying to keep the same architecture.
Two breadth studies will also be carried out. One will be a construction
mangement study focusing on cost and schedule comparisons and the other will
concentrate on the highly regarded mechanical systems of the building.
