Module 8 - Structural Framing Systems

• Overall strategy and the features of the structural system
• Dual system - the reinforced concrete moment frame and core shear wall will act together to resist the lateral force.
• Material and framing system selected
• All will be made of reinforced concrete (5ksi) and rebar with 414 MPa (main bar) and 275 MPa (stirrups).
• The framing follows the typical rectangular arrangement.
• Shallow foundation in a form of mat footing will be used to support the core shear wall.
• Isolated footings will be used for individual columns of the moment resisting frame.
• Locations of structural columns and major framing elements
• See pictures below. It shows the locations of columns, main and secondary beams/girders, core shear walls, and footings.
• Any special structural challenges
• Sewerage tank may be needed below grade; so, I would probably re-assess the elevations of the foundation level to find a space for it.
• The cantilever will be designed and presented in the next design check-in. I will need to reshape my mass element to accommodate a reasonable length of the cantilever. Overall, the main framing is shown below.
