ArchitectureArchitecture•Net Square Feet: 107,100 SF•Usage:
Primary Occupancy- ResidentialSecondary Occupancy- Retail,
Floor 1•Number of Stories: 21 above grade, 2 below
•The exterior walls of 110 Third Ave. consist of a “window wall” system. This system is fixed window units fabricated with flush aluminum panels finished to match the window wall that rests on the slab.
•On the North and East sides of the building are balconies from floors 8 through 16 and 16 through 21, respectively.
•Setback at floor 16

Building Description
ElectricalElectrical•Electrical service is brought into 110 Third Avenue by Con-Edison service 120/208V 3 Phase 4 wire distributed to two switchboards located on the cellar level.
•Switchboard 1 services the residential portions of the building, retail space, and gym area Switchboard 2 powers utilities such as the sprinkler system, fire pumps and elevators.
•Circuit wire sizes are most commonly 2 #12-3/4”C, and branch circuit breakers are most commonly 1 pole, 20 Amp.

Recessed ceiling downlighting.Continuous undercabinet task lighting.Pendant task lighting above island countertops.
•Bathrooms: Recessed ceiling downlighting.Mirror task lighting.
•Walk-in Closets:Utility wall Sconce.
•Apartment Halls:Recessed ceiling downlighting.
•Common Residential Corridors And Elevator Lobbies:Recessed ceiling downlighting

Building Description
Mechanical SystemMechanical System•2400#/hr and 2,400,000 BTU/hr. steam supply
•Heat exchanger supplies individual units via individual hot water unit heaters.
•A second heat exchanger serves the primary condenser water loop and is tied to a 2-cell cooling tower serving the water-source heat pumps at 990 CPM per tower with 330 tons capacity per tower.
•CFM total is 48680
•Common spaces are conditioned by a dedicated VAV box rated at 1040 CFM.
Structural SystemStructural System•CIP concrete system•8” two-way slab system•Loads are carried from the two-way slab system to concrete columns ranging from 12x12 to 40x12•Concrete columns recessed from perimeter approximately 10” to allow for non-bearing exterior panels•The only beams present in the structure surround the elevator core and stairwell, and also grade beams in the basement level that extend to the face of the building. •Roof is flat slab system with roof drains nested under pavers•Footings range from 4’6” square up to 15’ x 9’6”•Shear walls extend entire height of the building and are located around the elevator core.
Building Description
Structural System
Floor system:Floor system:
•68’ x 75’
•Typical bay size is 12’ to 15’ square
•Loading:
•25 psf DL, 40 psf LL in apts.
•100 psf LL in stairs
•5000 psi Concrete slab, 8” thick typ.
Structural System
Vertical Elements and Vertical Elements and Considerations:Considerations:
•Height restriction of 210’
•21 Stories each approximately 9’-8” except for lower floors and penthouse
•5000 psi concrete columns
Structural System
Lateral SystemLateral System
•Two-part system
•Shear walls surrounding the elevator core
•Columns and floor slab cast monolithically form a moment frame

Problem Statement and Proposed Solutions
• Create a design that meets the height restriction while including the most floors possible with the most space possible.
• Floor system must remain 8” thick or thinner
• Maintain strength of system without compromising span length
• Ease of construction/installation
Problem Statement and Proposed Solutions
Depth WorkDepth Work• Column design• Floor system design• Lateral force resisting system design
– Shear wall only– Combined system
Breadth WorkBreadth Work• Building Envelope Design• Cost and Constructability of PT slabs
Column Design
• Design floor layout to support larger bays with fewer columns
• Initial Design:– Leaning columns, moments from uneven floor
loading only– PCA COL aided in design of reinforcement– Hand check of column to insure PCA COL
accurate design
Column Design
• Final Design– Columns take moment from lateral forces– Forces on columns taken from ETabs and
reapplied in PCA COL– All columns remained the same size except for
columns 7 and 8 which increased by an inch in one direction
• ETabs showed no change in cross sectional area• PCA COL showed an increase of 1 inch was necessary

• Design post-tensioned slab using RAM Concept as an aid
• Keep slab 8” thick• Banded tendons at column lines

Lateral Force Resisting System
• Examine a new lateral system: Shear walls only

• Design the old lateral force resisting system, a combination system, to adapt to the new floor layout

Building Envelope Design
• The window-wall system could have several water penetration issues develop over the course of the building’s life
• Barrier system that should repel water and not allow any penetration whatsoever.
• Wall sections provided by the architect do not show some critical transition points between materials.
Building Envelope Design
Building Envelope Design
• In the case of 110 Third Avenue, the wall system provides no way for the glazing pocket to drain
• Operable windows need a way to drain, so there should be some way for them to drain along the sill track.
• The sill track should have weep holes that can give the water a way to escape the system without the tendency to penetrate through to the inside.
Building Envelope Design
Building Envelope Design
Building Envelope Design
•Gaskets should have fully vulcanized corners—tend to shrink over time
•Clear sealer applied to exposed concrete
•Double sealant joint at the head and the jamb
•Installation of a swing stage
Building Envelope Design
Building Envelope Design
•Addition of a waterstop and waterstop slurry where floor slab meets parapet
•Addition of a protection board underneath the drainage panels—supplement the system
•Flashing at the ends of the parapet should continue all the way down past the pedestal
Cost and Constructability of PT Slabs
• Cost of original, regularly reinforced floor slab per floor:
$36,994$36,994
• Cost of new, post-tensioned slab per floor:
$40,090$40,090
Cost and Constructability of PT Slabs
• Offsetting costs – Less construction time: Fewer columns– Less formwork
Cost and Constructability of PT Slabs
• Constructability– PT contractors not readily available in
the NY metropolitan area– Contractors from New Jersey
Summary and Conclusions
• PT floor slab not conducive to the New York construction market because of availability issues
• Anywhere else, i.e., Washington DC, they are comparable designs
• The new design for 110 Third Avenue functions well within the bounds of code requirements and can be considered a valid design for the future.
