Technical Reports
   

Technical Report #1 Deals with the existing structural conditions of the Visteon Corporate Headquarters Village Center. To view the .pdf copy of the report please click here: Technical Report #1

Technical Report #2 is a case study of four different gravity framing systems for the Visteon Village Center and a comparison of the benefits and drawbacks of each system. The framing types studied included the existing composite slab construction, as well as long-span joists, post-tensioned slab, and pre-cast hollow core slab.

Technical Report #3 is detailed study of the lateral load resisting system of the Visteon Village Center. The current system is of a special steel moment frame construction, which was analyzed using RAM Structural System and SAP2000 for its adequacy in handling the lateral loads due to wind and seismic applications.
