Existing Structure

Wind Loads are Transferred by Diaphragm Action of Façade

Transferred to Framing by Tributary Area• 8 Frames N-S and 9 Frames E-W

Concrete Frames Resist Lateral Forces • Short and Long Frames

Floor Slab Adds Resistance due to Diaphragm Action

Steel Construction

Code – IBC2000LRFD Analysis

• Parameters• 30’ x30’ Typical Bays• Fy = 50ksi ASTM A992 Steel• F’c = 3ksi• Normal Weight Concrete• Shear Studs - 3-1/2”high, ¾” diameter

Composite Steel Construction

Gravity Analysis – RAM • Determined Beam Sizes• Determined Column Sizes

2 Story Column Lengths 26’ – 28’ Tall• Ranging from W10’s to W12’s

Beam Sizes W12x14 Spaced at 6’ o.c.• Girders as Deep as a W21’s

Non-Composite Construction

Gravity Analysis – RAM • Determined Beam Sizes• Determined Column Sizes

2 Story Column Lengths 26’ – 28’ Tall• Using W12’s

Beam Sizes W12x14 Spaced at 6’ o.c.• Girders as Deep as a W24’s

Depth Comparison

Composite Steel

•Average – W12’s

•Critical Depth – W21

Non-Composite Steel

•Average – W12’s

•Critical Depth – W24

Advantage – Composite Steel Construction

Composite Saves 20 Tons

of Steel

Construction Management`

Address Two Main Issues

•Cost Comparison

•Project Duration

SETH R. TAKOCH STRUCTURAL OPTION

Construction Management

Total Building Cost• D4 Cost

• Total = $27,678,667• 20-25% Accurate• Range of $34.6 million to $20.8 million • Not Very Accurate• $115.33 / sq. ft.

`

SETH R. TAKOCH STRUCTURAL OPTION

Construction Management

Total Building Cost• Means Building Construction Cost Data

• Separate Estimates for Steel and Concrete• 10 -15% Accurate• More Precise Than D4• Steel Framing = $96.74 / sq.ft.• Concrete Frame = $98.45 / sq.ft. • Difference = $1.71 / sq.ft. = $410,400

`

SETH R. TAKOCH STRUCTURAL OPTION

Construction Management

Cost Comparison• D4 Cost = $115.33/sq.ft. = $27,678,667• Means Steel = $96.74/sq.ft. = $23,217,600• Means Concrete = $98.45/sq.ft. =

$23,628,000• Percentage Savings Using Steel = 1.7%
