Northside Piers

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 Rod Crousey's. 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 One
The existing physical conditions of the building were examined. This consisted of an overview of all the structural compenents of the building including the general floor framing, lateral resisting system, and foundation. The design loads were also determined and the capacity of several members were checked.
