Strategy
The structural solution selected was based mainly on concrete structures. Concrete structures are relatively low in cost and inherently fire-resistant. The roof employs steel framing systems to support the structure of roof.
Material and framing system
Cast-in-place concrete slab for all levels, reinforced in two directions and cast integrally with supporting beams and columns on all four sides of the square.
Roof skeleton frame using steel beams and columns to support the roof system of the building.
Structural columns and major framing element
Columns
Concrete Rectangular Column 24”x24”
Beams
Concrete Rectangular Beam 16”x32”
Walls
Concrete 8” Wall
Structural challenges
Solve the structural configuration of the corners at the hexagon.
