Structural system AEC
Structural system elements • Concrete columns • Concrete shear walls – bearing and lateral • Post-tensioned slab • Steel and glass roof truss system AEC
Structural system – gravity loads • Dead Loads –Lightweight Concrete Slab: Avg. 100 psf • Live Loads –Offices: 50 psf –Classrooms: 40 psf –Partition Walls: 10 psf –Auditorium: 50 psf –Ducts, Lights, etc. : 5 psf –Corridors: 100 psf –Cladding: 10 psf –Snow: 50 psf –Avg. LL (by area): 62. 5 psf AEC
Structural system – load path Gravity: AEC
Structural system – lateral loads • Wind –Exposure B –V 33 = 70 mph • Earthquake –Zone 3 –V = 638 kips AEC

Atrium-Architecture Basis • sunlight through the atrium is collected like rain in a lake in the mountains • sunlight flows through the trusses into rooms • atrium trusses are like trees on the mountain AEC
Atrium-Truss System AEC
Atrium-Truss Selection Three-Hinged Arch Truss • Problems • deflection • complex connections AEC
Atrium-Truss Constraints • Architectural height constraints • Repeated glass panel size, 4‘x 5‘ • Stability of half-truss 2. 3’ 8’ span 4’ span height 30’ elev 20’ span between trusses 40’ base AEC
Atrium-Truss Details • Anchor connection to slab • Bolt connection • Purlin detail • Column connection, no slab AEC
Atrium-Member Sizes • Truss members 2 L 4 x 4 x 1/4 • Bolts A 325 N ¾“ diameter • Purlins 2 L 3 x 5 x 1/2 • Columns W 10 x 100 AEC
Learning Experience-What did we learn here • Computer • Necessity • Communication New hardware & software • Be Clear & Listen • Collaboration Meltdown flexibility Asynchronous vs. Synchronous • 1 Goal. Down • Breaking Discipline Lines Create clear. Team sketches • Act as one AEC
