Homeowner Forum / Construction / February 20065-Story Steel Office Building Framing Design
I am a Senior in Civil Engineering at North Carolina State University and as part of our final project we are designing a 5-story steel office building. As a requirement of the project we are to research structural framing plans and I am having trouble finding resources online. Simple information on column layout or any website references you know of would be greatly appreciated. To give you an idea of what our project is like I'll include a little information below: 5-story office building Max. height of 60' 1st floor min height of 9'-6" 2-5th floor min heigh of 8'-0" 16" min clear for HVAC on each floor. Therefore there is only approx. 2-4" per floor for girders/beams & flooring/ceiling. The building is 172' E-W and 116' N-S with a central stair/elevator shaft measuring 30' x 40'. As part of the design the N-S frame is to be designed as a Moment Frame, and the E-W frame will be a braced frame. Roof: Bar joists, Steel Decking Floors: Lightweight concrete, W-Shapes, Steel Decking Project Description: http://www4.ncsu.edu/~hmbutler/SeniorProject.pdf Framing Diagram: http://www4.ncsu.edu/~hmbutler/Framing.pdf Thanks for reading my post and any references or help would be greatly appreciated, you could even end up as a reference in our final design! Feel free to ask me any questions if you need to. > I am a Senior in Civil Engineering at North Carolina State University > and as part of our final project we are designing a 5-story steel [quoted text clipped - 28 lines] > appreciated, you could even end up as a reference in our final design! > Feel free to ask me any questions if you need to. Okay...why are you looking for someone to do your homework for you? You've already gotten plenty of information in alt.architecture from some very knowledgeable people. It's time for you to expend some effort. Posting on a newsgroup does not qualify as effort.

The dude is a goon. <%= Clinton Gallagher >>> I am a Senior in Civil Engineering at North Carolina State University >>> and as part of our final project we are designing a 5-story steel [quoted text clipped - 38 lines] > > Rico you hard-a.s mo-fo! :-) Use the library to look for some books by Francis Ching. He is an architect and has done a number of books illustrating various structural systems as well as other aspects of how buildings are put together. When I was a student I also found calling firms directly and asking if I could study plan sets helpful. Some will agree. Finally, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin (for example) there is an archive of local projects that is kept in the central library which is controlled by some old farts but is still open to the public but not widely "advertised." Great for study of older details.Your locale may have the same type of resources. For example the cities and counties keep drawing sets of many buildings old and new. Just do windshield surveys around the region to get real examples owhat has been built that may be similar to the design you need to consider and delve into those types of resources to study details. That's the strategy that helped me pass my structural engineering exams for the A.R.E. <%= Clinton Gallagher NET csgallagher AT metromilwaukee.com URL http://clintongallagher.metromilwaukee.com/ >I am a Senior in Civil Engineering at North Carolina State University > and as part of our final project we are designing a 5-story steel [quoted text clipped - 28 lines] > appreciated, you could even end up as a reference in our final design! > Feel free to ask me any questions if you need to. > That's the strategy that helped me pass my structural engineering > exams for the A.R.E. > That's the strategy that helped me pass my structural engineering exams for the A.R.E. What about writing the answers on the back of your calculator? Or are they on to that these days...? :-) Ah, so you've done the ARE too huh? <%= Clinton Gallagher >> That's the strategy that helped me pass my structural engineering >> exams for the A.R.E.
