Description

The building's structural framework is composed of steel I-beams and columns, chosen to complement the glass façade. Additional columns are strategically aligned with floor openings. HSS diagonal braces connect the external columns, enhancing lateral stability. The foundation system features 72"x48"x18" footings beneath each column to manage point loads effectively. Furthermore, there’s a 36"x12" bearing foundation under the two 8” concrete exterior walls, along with a 6” thick foundation slab.
