WELCOME to Christopher Shipper's Senior AE Thesis e-Portfolio!

	This report investigates a redesign of the gravity and lateral systems of the hotel tower at The Borgata Hotel Casino and Spa. The original lateral system is composed of couple and non coupled shear walls as well as a concrete core. The lateral system was redesigned using a combination of coupled concrete shear walls and a coupled concrete shear wall core. The original floor system uses a 7" post-tensioned concrete slab. The gravity system was redesigned using a filigree system (by Mid State Filigree). Executive Summary Final Report (without appendices ) Appendices Coming Soon

User 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 Christopher Ankeny. 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.

This is a student-generated Capstone Project e-Portfolio (CPEP) produced in conjunction with the AE Senior Thesis e-Studio.

The Capstone Project Electronic Portfolio (CPEP) is a web-based project and information center. It contains material produced for a year-long Senior Thesis class. Its purpose, in addition to providing central storage of individual assignments, is to foster communication and collaboration between student, faculty consultant, course instructors, and industry consultants. This website is dedicated to the research and analysis conducted via guidelines provided by the Department of Architectural Engineering.
