Project Information Existing Structure Thesis Proposal Thesis Proposal Thesis Proposal Structural Depth Lateral System Design Move To High Seismic Region Gravity System Design Architectural Breadth Building Shape is Susceptible to Torsion Cost and Schedule Breadth • Split building into two equal wings Conclusions • Even distribution of lateral force elements • Steel Construction ▫ Lighter more ductile building • Braced frame design ▫ MAE X Brace Inverted V

Project Information Existing Structure 1 Thesis Proposal Architectural Breadth Structural Depth Lateral System Design Location of Braced Frames Gravity System Design 2 Architectural Breadth Architectural Breadth Disturbance to Facade Cost and Schedule Breadth • Between Openings VS Around Openings Conclusions Around Openings ▫ Leads to more ideal column placement ▫ Leads to more ideal column placement 2) All doors will have to 1) Could disrupt the shift over 2 ft. mechanical riser. But this is less disruptive Between Openings than moving all of the ▫ Inverted V Brace exterior windows X Brace Inverted V ▫ More efficient and simplistic
