Proposal
Current design restricted by height limit: 130 feet(current height = 125 ft w/ penthouse)
Only structures with a thin floor sandwich, such as flat plate and pre-stressed were considered
When height restriction is not a factor,
Can A More Economic System be Found???
Proposal
How will a steel structural system effect…

Building SummaryExisting StructureProposalGravity SystemLateral SystemOther Structural FactorsConstruction ManagementMechanicalConclusion
Gravity System
Composite:Steel composite deck on steel beams and
columns
Relatively shallow floor sandwichNo large change in stiffness and vibrationSteel is usually most cost effective
Additional cost and labor for fireproofing and connections
Gravity System
New column layout required for steel system to be economical
Does not interfere w/architecture
Windows moved
One closet obstructed
Gravity System
Composite Decking:
Span is too long, bisect each bay with a beam
Unshored saves on labor and material
Unshored will use extra concrete
Residential Levels: 2” LOK floor deck with 4.5” slab
Public Levels: 3” LOK deck with 5.5”slab
Decking chosen from USD catalog.
Beams, columns, and shear studs were designed for gravity loads using RAM software.
Gravity System
RAM criteria set to LRDF 3rd Edition
Gravity System
Final Design:
4.5” deck + slab
12” beam
= 16.5” Total floor sandwich depth
Increase of 8.5” per floor 8.5’ total
New Height = 133.5’ > Allowable 130’

3 possible Lateral Systems:Shear WallsMoment FramesBraced Frames
Located around elevator shaft
Architectural Feature of the building
Will not obstruct bays
Costly connections
High strength and stiffness

Results:
Surround Elevator Shaft
Steel Lighter Weight Less Seismic Load
8.5’ height increase Slightly Greater Wind Load
Braced Frames:Find location in building Distribute Loads by RigidityCheck ASCE 7 wind casesDesign, check on STAAD
Design was controlled by
allowable stress

Lateral System
STAAD Design:
Chevron Braces
Member Stresses Controlled
Size Range: W12x65 – W12X170
Total Deflection < 3.6” allowable
Final Design:
Some columns controlled by biaxial bending increased size
Sizes: W12x65 – W14x342
Final Deflection = 2.7”< 3.6” allowable

Are there other issues with the structure to be considered?
Connections
Substructure
Foundation
Other Structural Factors
Beam to Column Connections:
Stiffeners Required
Typical 7th floor connection
Other Structural Factors
Heavy Bracing Connection:
Uniform Force MethodSame beam to column connection
27”x27”x1/2” gusset plate
3”x3”x1/2” angles
Other Structural Factors
Typical 7th floor connection
Other Structural Factors
The Substructure:
Concrete is better in subterranean conditions
Additional building weight
Concrete is a more durable parking structure
Other Structural Factors
Substructure:
One way joist floor ~easy to construct
~works with new bay sizes
20” pans; 5” ribs; 25” o.c.
Other Structural Factors
Substructure:
Girders: 24”x15”
top steel = 7 #9’s
bottom steel = 4 #8’s
Stirrup PlacementReinforcement Cutoffs
Girder Section
Other Structural Factors
Substructure:
Columns:Below the Braced Frames:
Shear walls were used, shear controlled
Other Structural Factors
Substructure:
Connections ~ a base plate sunk into floor slab at each column
Other Structural Factors
Foundation:
Existing MAT foundation
Punching shear
Overturning
Forces affecting
overturning
No Problems

Cost :
Concrete ......................................$1,526,000
Steel ………………………………...$1,455,600
Saves $70,000
This does not however account for cost due to extra façade material or fireproofing
Building Scale is not large enough to develop full economy associated with a steel structure
Construction Management
Each level is built in the sequence:
1 day for columns and beams 2 days for deck
Next level is started Slabs poured when beam, column, and deck
construction is 3 stories ahead.
Scheduling:
Total: 18 weeks

HVAC:
Fresh air requirements are met by windows
Mechanical
HVAC:
MEP Systems can be moved from soffits into ceiling sandwich.
Beams should not be intersected.

Acoustics:
Original System: Concrete ceilings with sprayed acoustical sealant

Steel System: Suspended ceiling with acoustical tiles
NRF = .5 to .95

Conclusions
Structural design was controlled by height restriction
Composite:
Larger Bays
Works well with other integrated systems
Full Economy of Steel Savings was not
achieved
