Final Thesis Report
Final Thesis Report (No Appendices)
The final report consists of several parts. The first part is a basic building background. Then, a summary of the thesis proposal and goals follows. A description of the structural depth study that involved a total redesign of the lateral force resisting system for seismic loading and a check of the building diaphragms is next. Two breadth studies that studied the impacts of the lateral force resisting redesign on the building cost and building architecture are also discussed. Finally, the report contains the conclusions and bibliography.
