User Note: 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 Michael Hopper. 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. |
Research
Model Codes and Standards - The following codes and standards were used to calculate building loads and for hte design of steel members:
ASCE Standard 7-05 Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures. Reston, VA: American Society of Civil Engineers/Structural Engineering Institute, 2005.
Building Code of the City of New York. New York: Department of Citywide Administrative Services, 2004.
International Code Council, 2006 International Building Code. Illinois: International Code Council Publications, 2006.
Steel Construction Manual, 13th Edition. Chicago: American Institute of Steel Construction, 2005.
Design References - The following reference was used to determine deflection limitations for the steel transfer trusses:
Fisher, James M., and Griffis Lawrence G., “Design Guide 3: Serviceability Design
Considerations for Steel Buildings (Second Edition)”. Steel Design Guide Series Number 3, AISC 2003.
Textbooks - The follwing textbook was used for the design of steel members:
Geschwindner, Louis F., Unified Design of Steel Structures. John Wiley and Sons, Inc., 2008.
Articles - The following article was used for information regarding the megatruss including web members and construction:
