Students will design a fictious multi-story steel framed building with composite concrete floors and metal roof deck for the new UConn school of engineering building on the Storrs campus. Students will identify a new location for this project on the campus and obtain some geotechnical information from some of the past construction projects (might need some help from professors to obtain this information) to use as basis of design. An architectural building layout and grid layout will be provided. Students will use the architectural layout plans and Revit to layout the locations of the buildings beams, columns, lateral systems, and footings to support the building. Coordination of where the lateral system will occur with an architect who will assist on this project. Students will have to use the current Connecticut Building Code to determine the required gravity and lateral loads to apply to the building. Tekla Structural Designer (or other analytical software) will be used to layout the building and analyze the steel frame and foundations for the applied code required gravity and lateral forces. The building will have composite and non-composite beams. In addition, there will be a combination of lateral systems. Steel moment frames and braced frames will be utilized to show how the differences in the stiffnesses impact the performance of the building. Hand calculations will be performed to verify the output from the analytical software for the composite and non-composite beam, column, and foundation designs. Hand calculations will also be used to verify the computation of the seismic and wind forces applied to the building as well as the distribution of these forces to the building. If the analytical software allows it, students will integrate the analytical model into Revit. A sample project will be given to the students so they can see what a typical set of Construction Documents looks like. They will create their own foundation, floor, and roof framing plans
