Gravity Load Analysis for Sears Tower by Matt Damon and Jennifer Lopez for CE 331, Spring 2007 Project 2
The Sears Tower is a 108-story steel-frame office building in downtown Chicago Illinois. (Original) Owner: Sears & Roebuck Co. Contractor: Morse-Diesel Inc. Structural Engineer: Skidmore, Owings, and Merrill
The Sears Tower is constructed of nine steel “tubes”, each 75 feet across.
We analyzed a typical interior column and spread footing. - steel roof deck - bar joist - joist girder - steel tube column - reinforced concrete foundation Elevation View
Roof dead load = 14 psf Section of Roof
Pu f Pn We checked the design of an interior column for axial buckling.
Column live load = 15 psf Interior Column Specified live load = 20 psf
Column live load = 15 psf specified live load = 20 psf tributary area = 525 sf live load reduction factor = 0.75 reduced live load = 15 psf
Factored load to column (Pu) = 30.6k Pu Pu = [ 1.2 (14psf) + 1.6 (15psf) ] (30ft)(25ft) = 30.6k
failure mode: axial buckling grade 50 steel E = 29,000ksi fy = 50ksi slenderness (kLu/r) r = 23.4in k = 1.0 Lu = 10.5ft AISC Table Pn = 44k Column capacity (Pn) = 44k HSS 3x4x3/16
Pu f Pn Design check shows column design is OK
We checked the design of a typical reinforced concrete spread footing for flexure failure.
C T Flexure failure occurs when demand (Mu) exceeds capacity (f Mn). Pu, factored axial force from column location of flexure failure factored soil pressure, qu qu Mu Mn
