21. Engineering Loads-Seismic and Snow Loads Snow Loads 223 psf Ground Snow 1.0 Importance Factor 0.6 Exposure D Factor Nominally Flat Roof 133 psf roof snow load (75% is seismically effective) Seismic Loads from 1994 UBC Z = 0.3 Seismic Zone 3 T = 0.203 by Method A C = 2.75 for firm soil Rw = 8 compromise for this dual system Vbase = 608 kip Mot = 9426 k-ft The Mountain Ridge Team

22. Engineering Evaluations - Floor Details and Load Path Composite steel deck - concrete slab Shallow beam sections Typical Sections: Beams sizes from W10x12 to W12x30, unshored construction All columns W12x40 to facilitate connections Shear connections only Cross Beam: W10x19, Typ. Ext. Girder: W10x22, Typ. Typ. Vertical Gravity Load Transfer Column: W12x40, Typ. 12” Shearwalls Resist All Lateral Loads Second Floor Beams - Plan View The Mountain Ridge Team

23. Engineering Evaluations -ETABS model Verify period with modal analysis Evaluate deflections and interstory drift Verify load path assumptions Problems in model The Mountain Ridge Team

24. Engineering Evaluations - Cross Sections at Lines 1 and 3 • Note typical sections and detail references The Mountain Ridge Team

25. Third Floor Moment Frame Connection Detail Engineering Evaluations - Critical Connection Details The Mountain Ridge Team

26. Engineering Evaluations -Shear Wall-Beam Connection Details The Mountain Ridge Team

27. Engineering Evaluations -Shear Wall Design Resist all lateral loads, both seismic and wind • Mot = 1061.9 k-ft per wall • Vbase = 484 k • No boundary zones • No additional moment reinforcement • Torsional effects are negligible The Mountain Ridge Team

28. Engineering Evaluations - MEP Assumptions Steam heat and chilled water from central facility 15’ x15’ room provided on ground floor for equipment Circular ducts standard throughout with rectangular ducts in congested areas, 18” max. Small equipment rooms provided on all floors for advanced communications equipment Air requirements in auditorium are 20 CF/person/minute, given an approximate capacity of 250 people The Mountain Ridge Team

29. Engineering Evaluations - Three-Dimensional Model The Mountain Ridge Team

30. Contractor - Site Plan The Mountain Ridge Team

31. Contractor - Fall 2011Schedule The Mountain Ridge Team

32. Contractor - Spring 2012 Schedule The Mountain Ridge Team

33. Contractor - Winter Respite Analysis • Impractical to weatherproof before winter weather hits • Either shut job down during winter or rent tent for $42,000 per month • Project can still be completed comfortably if dormant for <4 months • Respite allows for coordination and planning The Mountain Ridge Team

34. Contractor - Estimate Details • Location adjustment factor of 1.15 • $160/s.f. 1998 dollars ($210/s.f. 2010 dollars) • 6% Contractor fee • 10% Architecture and Engineering fee The Mountain Ridge Team

35. Contractor - Critical Phases of Work Heaviest lift complete The Mountain Ridge Team

36. Contractor - Critical Phases of Work Floors and roof complete The Mountain Ridge Team

37. Contractor - Equipment • Crane selection for steel erection • 50T hydraulic rough terrain crane with 65’ boom • Critical lift: 4 ton beam at 60’ radius • Gradall material handlers The Mountain Ridge Team

40. Contractor - Budget Breakdown The Mountain Ridge Team

41. Contractor - Inflation Analysis The Mountain Ridge Team

42. Contractor - Construction Cost Index The Mountain Ridge Team

43. A/E/C/O Height variance Ramp in rear of building 2 plane vs. 4 plane roof system C/E Beam spacing Floor system A/E/O Window wall Balcony in rear 3rd floor Shearwall Entrance façade column locations A/C/O Cladding Excavation costs Product, Evolution, and Process The Mountain Ridge Team

44. Floor and Structural Systems -E/C Trade-off Analysis • Concrete for floor decks: • Lightweight concrete? • Normal weight concrete? • Steel Framing: • Moment resistant frames - shop welded? • Eccentrically braced frames? • Simple gravity frames? The Mountain Ridge Team

45. Beam Spacing -E/C Trade-off Analysis • 20’ column grid • Beams can be spaced at 10’ or 20’ on center? • Larger beam spacing means fewer pieces, fewer connections and thus faster construction. • But, also requires deeper slabs • Cost basically unaffected • Long-term usability chosen over short-term construction schedule benefits The Mountain Ridge Team

46. Basement Layout vs. Excavation -A/E/C/O Trade-Off Analysis Building Functioning Space allocation slope floor, owner requirement Costs Activities and program requirements O/A Evaluation The Mountain Ridge Team

47. Ramp in Rear of Building -A/E/C/O Trade-Off Analysis • Relationship with the excavation • Development of the option • Rejection of the ramp alternative The Mountain Ridge Team

48. East Balcony and Column Locations -A/E Trade-Off Analysis Owner requirements for a balcony Architectural solution - cantilever Engineer’s response with additional columns - spares moment connections Added Columns Plan of East Balcony The Mountain Ridge Team

49. Window Wall and West Balcony -A/E/O Issues The Requirements of O/A/E The communications breakdowns The positioning of walkway supports The Mountain Ridge Team

50. Exterior Cladding -A/C/O Cost vs. Appearance Concerns Plaster or stone Stone more has institutional, timeless appearance Stone $1 million than plaster Stone/plaster combination chosen The Mountain Ridge Team
