Lunch & Learn

1. Lunch & Learn Session Number 1

2. Considerations • Need to maintain reputation as a quality engineering firm • Name “branding” • Why clients choose BPTEC-DNW • Designs need to be responsive to programs and well presented • Need to make it easy for clients to work with us and accomplish their work

3. Goals of Sessions • Integrate efforts for design and drawing production • Develop understanding of everyone’s role in the contract documents phase of projects • Develop standard ways of doing work to make everyone’s life easier • Quality control – measured as conformance to standard

4. Engineering Material Selection Component Layout and sizing Attend design meetings with prime consultant Specifications Overall responsibility Drafting Layout (confirm with engineers) Coordination with M & E Coordination with Architectural Develop details to fully describe extent of components in three dimensions Responsibilities

5. Building Components • Metal Decking • OWSJ’s and Structural Steel Framing • Lateral Load Resisting Systems • Wall Framing • Columns • Foundations • Concrete Beams • Masonry load bearing systems • Glued Laminated Timber • Light Wood Framing Systems • Two-way Concrete Slab Systems • Cold-formed Metal Systems

6. Metal Decking Purposes Resist vertical Loads Function as a diaphragm to resist lateral loads Function as a form for concrete floors Specifications Coatings Deflection limitations Fastening Shop drawing requirements Considerations Drift loads and specified loads Framing of openings Fastening Crimping frequency Load specifications Thickness spec Extent of deck Change of span direction Edge details Composite deck for floors Concrete edge details with regard to acing as a form Diaphragm flanges Slopes

7. Design Considerations • Generally most economical to maximize spans for 22 Ga Deck • Usually spec Z075 coating where painted • Z275 coating where unpainted • For sloped roof decks, check for rapid slope changes where simple spans may be necessary to ensure bearing

8. Purpose Light framing members to support deck loads Occasionally to act as the beam component of a rigid frame Considerations Need to define loads for fabricator design of joists Joist seat height Joist depth selection Concentrated loads Bearing on block walls Bridging Accommodation of ductwork in webs Open Web Steel Joists

9. Purposes Framing for floor and roof systems Lateral load resisting systems Considerations Top of Steel Elevations defined Details at edge of building, openings, change of materials, changes in elevation Code requirement to define lateral load resisting system Continuity over supports Embedded plates Column Definition Structural Steel Framing

10. Code requirements Section 4. of S16.01 lists requirements Lateral load resisting systems Forces in cross braces for connection design Continuity specifications Connection Specifications Corrosion protection Roof Framing – check for parapets and other architectural assemblies Engineering needs to be far enough ahead of drawing to allow drafting to develop details. Use of standard details, supplemented by details specific to conditions Coordination of roof slopes with architects Details of interface with masonry and concrete Wall elevations necessary to define members not shown on plan Structural Steel
