3 Scope of Structural Work

3.1 This project involves the replacement of all exterior windows in Building 2J. Window replacement includes all operable, non-operable, skylights, curtain wall, and any other window type in the building at all levels. All window replacements will be building code compliant and comply with the most current energy efficiency standards. Please refer to drawings and specifications for more details.

3.2 The existing skylight framing consists of conventional structural steel framing supported by the building’s concrete roof framing. The existing framing directly supporting the skylights has been found to be inadequate for current wind pressures. Additional bracing will be installed around the primary skylight framing as reflected in the construction documents.

3.3 The existing porta-cochere framing consists of conventional structural steel framing supported by wide flange columns. The existing wind pressures were found to be within the permissible limits to preclude any requirement of strengthening.

3.4 The existing atrium curtain wall is supported by tube steel spanning from the foundation to the roof level. The existing framing supporting the curtain wall is adequate and will not require any strengthening.

3.5 Building 3T MRI is not included in scope, Storefront door assemblies are not included in scope, Porte-cochere skylights are included in scope and evaluated for resistance to current wind pressures. Porte-cochere skylights are not required to be blast resistant but are required to have laminated glass, Skylights over the building are included in scope and evaluated for resistance to current wind pressures. Roof skylights are not required to be blast resistant but are required to have laminated glass, all punched openings are included in scope. Punched windows are not required to be blast resistant but are required to have laminated glass. All ribbon window openings are included in scope. Ribbon windows are not required to be blast resistant but are required to have laminated glass. All windows at stairwells are included in scope. Stairwell windows are not required to be blast resistant but are required to have laminated glass, The atrium curtain wall is included in scope and evaluated for resistance to current wind pressures. The curtain wall is not required to be blast resistant but is required to have laminated glass.
