Description

For the structural system here, isolated deep piles were used under all columns to account for larger earthquake motions in San Francisco. Columns were spaced throughout the structure, mainly placed in corners of the structure to avoid cutting into the floor plan. All columns are spaced to be less than 40’ span to ensure that the future beam sizes will not be too large. Steel girders and joists are also placed to span between columns. Finally, a 3” concrete on 2” metal decking slab is placed on top of all the joists/girder spans. Chevron bracings were placed across bays without full glass windows to avoid blocking the view.
