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.
