Applicable Codes / Referenced Standards
Chapter 21 of this code was used extensively for special reinforced concrete shear wall design.
Gravity and lateral loads were determined based on this code.
This text was referenced for general guidance with respect to design of concrete elements such as columns and shear walls.
The IBC was used for a code analysis for architectural considerations and occupancy determination.
This reference was used to aid in design of said concrete elements as well as guidance in using PCA Computer Programs.
This site consists of university course notes and was used for its helpful descriptions of ELFP and MRSA methods for seismic analysis. Although it references EuroCode, the general concepts were deemed comparable to design methodologies used in the U.S.
This source was used to determine costs associated with the prototype design.
