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.

Please follow the link below to view the three topics that I will be researching throughout the spring semester of thesis coursework. The following proposal contains three topics that will be researched throughout the duration of the second semester of thesis coursework with respect to the Virginia Commonwealth School of Business and Engineering. The purpose of this research is to provide and examine alternative methods to modify the cost, schedule, and constructability of the building. In addition, the results will promote any value-engineering ideas that arise throughout the performance of this research. Proposal PDF Revised Proposal PDF (January 19, 2008) breadth topic one - structural... The first analysis I will be performing is going to be a structurally driven breadth. I will be focusing on Sector C, the School of Engineering, which has been constructed using a concrete structural system (please view the siteplan for more details). My analysis will include redesigning this section into a steel skeleton, which is the frame work for the rest of the building, and then gauging the cost and time savings of having the steel system.
