| 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 Brian Tufts. 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. |
Technical Assignments
Technical Assignment 1
This report features basic information about the standards used in the design of 303 Third Street, in addition to detailed calculations of seismic and wind loads, an analysis of the lateral system, and spot checks of members.

Technical Assignment 3
This report is an analysis of the lateral force resisting system of the building. Deflections were calculated using ETABS. 303 Third Street uses moment frames and concentrically braced frames to resist wind and seismic forces.
