Technical Assignment #1: Structural Concepts/Structural Existing Conditions
10/05/2005
This report contains an explanation of the existing structural system of the University
of Central Florida's Academic Villages. The design codes and standards used
in the original design are outlined and used to identify and calculate the
dead and live gravity loads as well as the wind and seismic lateral loads.
A simple analysis of one gravity element and one lateral framing element will
be completed soon.

#2: Pro/Con Structural Study of Alternate Floor Systems
10/31/2005
This report
contains a description of the existing flooring system in the University of
Central Florida's Academic Villages It then investigates four alternate systems
including (2) post-tensioned concrete systems, a hollow core plank system,
and a flat plate two way slab system. These are then compared and contrasted
to determine the pros and cons of each system.

Technical Assignment #3: Lateral System Analysis and Confirmation Design
11/21/2005
This report will describe the lateral system used in the existing system.
It which lateral loads will control the design of the existing building. Drift
values are compared and torsion issues are checked as part of the design.

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 $!!STUDENT!!$. 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.
