Final Report
The following report contains a comprehensive study of the structural system of Park Potomac Office Building "E." An alternative structural system is explored in depth, along with a few broader topics as well. A steel structural system is proposed as an alternative to the current post-tensioned concrete structure. Additionally, the architectural impacts are considered as well as the cost and schedule implications that would result from the changes in the structural system. Please find the executive summary and the complete report below.
