Existing Structural

Foundations 4000 psi concrete rock bearing drilled

piers with grade beams in the unexcavated portion of the building

spread footings in the basement portion



Proposal

Replace current lateral system Redesign Criteria

lateral force resisting system must: be designed to resist the lateral loads perform to the required serviceability criteria

under the design loads lateral force resisting system must not:

compromise the architectural aesthetics and functionality of the building’s spaces

disrupt the other building systems be prohibitively expensive



Proposal

Alternative #1 incorporate braced frames into the

structure Alternative #2

create several frames with partially restrained connections

Alternative #3 some combination of braced frames

and partially restrained frames



Redesign

Gravity System Realign columns into grid system for

more options Resize members using RAM

Check flexure, shear, deflection, composite action

Smaller member sizes Second Floor Vibration Issue

Leave second floor member sizes unchanged

Original Layout New Layout



Redesign

Lateral System Alternative #1 –

Braced Frames typical placement Architectural

repercussions Add a column



Redesign

Alternative #2 – PR Frames Use several frames and take advantage of

the stiffness in the PR connections



Redesign

Alternative #3 Use braced frames in East – West

direction and PR Frames in North – South Direction



Redesign

Braced Frames Initial member

sizes determined by gravity requirements

Checked with Ram using ASCE 7-95 lateral loads

Members increased to meet strength requirements



Redesign

Frames modeled in STAAD to determine stiffness

ASCE 7-98 Lateral Loads distributed by rigidity

Member sizes increased to meet strength and stiffness requirements under lateral loads including torsion



Redesign

Redesign

Final member sizes Columns - W14x109 Beams - W30x90 Braces - 2L5x5x7/8



Redesign

PR Frames Method of Flexible wind connections or

type 2 with wind (ASD) Beams designed as simple beams Columns designed to provide frame stability connections designed to resist the factored

lateral loads and have sufficient ductility to accommodate the rotations



Redesign

Initial member sizes determined by flexible moment connection method

frames modeled in STAAD as FR and stiffness determined

Lateral Loads redistributed by rigidity

Member sizes increased to provide adequate strength and stiffness requirements



Redesign

Drift determined as per conservative British Wind-Moment Approach

Drift determined using FR connections, then multiplied by 1.5 to account for actual PR connections

Wind drift limited to H/400 Allowable total drift = 1.875” Actual total drift = 1.220”

Other Considerations

Foundations Changing layout of frames, adding

additional columns and relocating columns

Redesign for bearing, shear, and overturning

Architectural New column layout changes room sizes

slightly




Mechanical System Changing some room sizes will affect

the mechanical load for those spaces Lighting System

Room size changes will affect the lighting layout




Cost Comparison Gravity System

Redesign = total savings of $72,596.67 Lateral System

PR Frames = increase of $23,696.66 Braced Frames = Savings of $54,633.43

Recommendations

Gravity System Consider redesigned member sizes but verify

vibration requirements Lateral System

Use braced frames in the east-West direction Use original moment frames in North-South

Direction Fire Protection

Choose system to meet minimum code requirements

Acoustical Consider increasing the slope of the room
