Gravity Load Analysis for Sears
Tower
for
CE 331, Spring 2007
Project 2
byMatt Damon andJennifer Lopez
The Sears Tower is a 108-story steel-frame office building in downtown Chicago Illinois.
(Original) Owner: Sears & Roebuck Co.
Contractor: Morse-Diesel Inc.
Structural Engineer: Skidmore, Owings, and Merrill
We analyzed a typical interior column and spread footing.
