CEE 4606 - Capstone IIStructural Engineering Lecture 4 - Load Paths and Construction Considerations
Outline 1. Building systems 2. Load paths 3. IBC requirements for concrete and masonry 4. Construction update 5. Other projects
General Comments • Schedules were fine for submittal, but need to have far more detail to be useful within your groups. • Load paths were good, but need more detail on the specific structural elements. 3. Answer these questions: • How does the wind load get to the column? • How does the altar load get to the column? • Are there any beams in your structure?
Load Paths • Building Frame System • Gravity loads are carried entirely by slabs, beams, columns (frame action) • Lateral loads are carried entirely by the shear walls

IBC Requirements • How does having the Category (A – F) of the structure affect the design of the concrete structural elements (beams, columns, and slab) for gravity load? • How does it effect the design of the masonry walls?
IBC Requirements • Remember that we have a buildingframe system • Gravity loads Beams, Columns, Slab • Lateral loads Masonry Shear Walls • But…the two systems still must work together
