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 Julie Davis. 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.

Tech Assignments City Vista | Building 2

Tech Assignment #1 : Existing Conditions

Structural Concepts and Existing Conditions

This report provides an in-depth description of each structural system, along with wind and seismic analysis, and spot checks of major structural elements. These findings are then compared with the original design.

Tech Assignment #2 : Floor System Anlysis

Alternate Floor System Anlysis

Currently City Vista is a two way flate plate post tension system. This report takes an in-depth look at (4) alternative systems

• Girder Slab
• Two way slab
• Composite Beam
• Pre-cast Hollow core slab with inverted tee beams

Each System presents its own set of advantages and disadvantages which impacts City Vista’s overall design differently. This report will compare and contrast cost, constructibilty, and design issues for each system

Tech Assignment #3: Lateral System

Exisitng Lateral Sysyem Analysis

The following technical repot takes an in-depth look at the current lateral system which is composed of (4) cast in place shear walls. Three of these walls compose the central core, while the other is located 97’-4” away. Direct and torsional shear, overturning moment, and story drift were considered to verify the current design. The building was also modeled in E-Tabs for additional analysis.
