This week, I continued working on my structural model and added roofs above the green roof to encourage use even in rainy months, which are common in Washington.
In addition, I created 3 Isolated beam cases (linked above and shown below).
I chose these three beams because they are the longest and also some have greater loads than other beams would in the structure. All the structural system is Wood, a Western species specifically that is locally sourced. I applied varying area loads (live and dead) based on Glenn's video recommendations.
The main structural challenge I have found is that the levels are slightly offset from each other so the structure shifts slightly by level.
Beam 1
Beam 2
Beam 3
In terms of HVAC, I am not too worried about the beams and my structural system being a problem.
