Chapter 4Structural Systems • Floor & Roof • Beams & Girders • Columns & Walls • Foundation • Together – they make the frame
Dead Loads Arch. Construction Mech. Equipment Utilities Sprinkler Systems Live Loads People Furnishings Machinery Moveable Walls Rain, Snow, Ice Snow Loads Wind Loads Pressure on windward side Suction on leeward side More as you get higher Seismic Loads Earthquakes - shaking Vibration Loads Traffic, heavy trucks Subway Airports Shock Loads Suddenly applied 9/11 Loads
C2005 BOMI INSTITUTE Loads on Buildings 4-1
Load Transfer & Lateral Resistance Whatever the force, the goal is to get it into the ground Stresses on Frames Tension – pull apart Compression – squish like a grape Shear Stress - snap More Loads
C2005 BOMI INSTITUTE Stresses on Members 4-2
More on Stress • Compressive stress compacts material, decreasing thevolume. More weight = more compression. Ductile materials (metal, soil, plastic) yield. Brittle materials rupture. • Aspect ratio (ratio between width & length) • Ratios greater than 2:1 will buckle • Due to “elastic instability”
Column & Floor to Floor Spacing • Typical column spacing is 20’-35’ • Typical floor to floor spacing = 12’-13’ • Hotel floor to floor as low as 9’-6” • More steel = longer span
Fire Resistance • Hourly ratings (1-4) • Rating = amount of time the element, component or assembly can contain the fire • Rated ceilings need clips • Structural system and individual members will need to comply with code required ratings.
Floor Systems • Steel & Concrete Decks • Cellular Steel • Composite Steel • Open Web Joist • Concrete Slab • Slab On-Grade • Wood Floor • Deck on Joists • Solid Timber
Building Walls • Exterior Walls • Curtain Walls • Interior Walls
C2005 BOMI INSTITUTE A Curtain Wall 4-3
Steel Frame System • Load-bearing Wall Construction • Like a house • Frame Construction • Most highrises • Long Span Steel Structures • McCormick Place • Bridges • Combination Steel & Concrete Framing
High Strength Uniformity Elasticity Permanence Ductility Additions to Existing Structures Other advantages Prefabrication Speed Weldability Toughness Reuse Recycle Advantages of Steel
Fireproofing Encase in concrete or fireproofing Enclose w/ fire rated materials Intumescent paint Chemically treated water Maintenance Paint Rust Connections Disadvantages of Steel
Reinforced Concrete Add steel bars for tensile strength Poured on-site More flexibility More tedious Weathers well Precast Concrete Mass production – less expensive Reduced construction time Better quality control Take weather out of the equation Hard to transport Connections more difficult Caulking/maintenance costs Heavier – needs larger foundations Reduced continuity between structural members Concrete Frame Systems
Materials Lumber Plywood Laminated Timber Disadvantages Fungus Termites Burns easily Moisture induced movement Systems Balloon Framing Platform Framing Post-&-Beam Framing Stressed Skin Construction Wood Frame Systems
Foundations & Soil • It’s what EVERYTHING sits on • Coarse-grained noncohesive soils • Fine-grained cohesive soils • Organic fibrous soils • Anything in soil that is or once was alive needs to come out
Moisture content Permeability Shearing resistance Particle size Liquid limit Moisture Frost Shifting Settlement Upheaval Sliding Liquefaction Soil Concerns
Deep Systems Concrete Piles On site Precast Augered-in-place Tapered Caissons Steel Piles Sheet piles Wood Piles Always wet (tree roots) Always dry Shallow Systems Spread footings Mat and Raft systems Trench footings Foundation Materials Generally reinforced concrete Foundation Systems
C2005 BOMI INSTITUTE Pile Foundation 4-4
Locate the deterioration Determine the cause Neutralize Eliminate Evaluate the existing strength Evaluate need for repair Select & implement repair Maintaining Foundations Look for “tell” Water is the enemy Maintaining Steel Corrosion Abrasion Connections Fatigue Impact Maintaining Concrete Cracking Spalling Disintegration Maintaining Wood Water, yes water is still the enemy Insects are the other enemy Structural Systems Maintenance
Structural Considerations for Sustainability • Maximum Solar Access • Maximize Daylighting • Reuse of Materials or Structures • Salvaging Materials • Recycling Content • Use Certified Lumber

Heat • Thermal Expansion & Contraction • Aluminum twice masonry • Heat Transfer • U-value • Ability of a system to transmit heat • Inverse of R-value • Thermal breaks • Curtain connects to structure • Panels connect to framing • Wall assemblies • Within panels themselves • If everything else is sealed

Moisture Migration • To Prevent Condensation • Provide a vapor retarder on the interior of the wall to prevent humid air from entering the wall system • Insulate internal surfaces • Provide venting for water vapor • Weep system • Condensation – function of temp & RH
