When downspouts are required they shall not drain directly onto a walk or platform. When downspouts must occur at walks or platforms they shall pass through or under into underground drains or toward open ground beyond. Downspouts draining onto open ground shall be diverted using precast concrete splash blocks to prevent erosion. Use of interior downspouts shall be avoided wherever design permits. The use of scuppers should be maximized. Avoid built-in gutters behind fascia or parapet due to expansion/contraction of metal and surrounding material unless dictated by Installation requirements. All gutters shall have leaf screens at locations susceptible to collection of leaves and other windblown debris.

Doors to rooms shall be of adequate size to accommodate the installation and removal of furniture and equipment installed therein.

2.8.7.3 Exterior Doors

(a) Except in underground structures and floors above the first story of multi-story structures, doors to boiler or mechanical rooms, doors from power rooms, generator rooms, and doors from similar areas should be to the outside of the building only.

(b) Where galvanized steel doors and frames are required, ensure use A40 or A60 designation in lieu of G type coatings.

2.8.7.4 Special-Purpose Doors

Special-purpose doors such as rolling and coiling doors shall be adequately designed to safely resist the design wind pressure. Rolling and coiling steel or aluminum doors shall be designed so as to permit operation of the doors at maximum wind velocities defined in the area where used.

2.8.7.5 Finish Hardware

(a) Carefully read the "Notes to Specified" for the UFGS hardware specification. Hardware shall be selected from BHMA and ANSI standards. All cylinders shall have 7 pins. Provision of these items must conform to individual requirements of the installation on which the project is located.

(b) Floor mounted center door stops for door pairs shall not be installed above floor level.

2.8.7.6 Hardware Set Designations

Hardware set designations shall be listed in the Door Schedule in preference to locating on the floor plans.

Specification Section 08 7100, Door Hardware, shall provide the necessary hardware set designation numbers, plus description and function of each hardware item included in the Hardware Set.

2.8.7.7 Return Air

Overall size of return air louvers located in doors shall be included in the Door Schedule. Minimum bottom rail dimension shall be 10 inches and the minimum stile dimension shall be 5 inches. Door undercuts shall be shown in the Door Schedule.

3.3 PROJECT DEFINITION (10-15%)

At the Project Definition phase, the designer must define the specific project requirements and confirm that they can be met within the project constraints. This is normally done through a charrette or other data gathering process. The structural engineer shall also coordinate with the architect at this phase to insure that the architectural floor plan and other architectural features of the project can be framed and constructed economically.

The Project Definition submittal will consist of a narrative describing the structural loads, general design criteria and references and any unusual design conditions. The narrative shall include a brief description of the intended structural system or if the size of the project warrants, a description of the structural systems to be used for the comparative analysis.

3.4 CONCEPT DESIGN (35%)

3.4.1 Structural System Selection Analysis

(a) An economical structural system will be selected to meet the requirements of the design. For projects with a construction value of $10,000,000 or greater, a comparative analysis of two or more competitive structural systems will be required unless indicated otherwise in the Statement of Work (SOW). A portion of each facility large enough to be representative of the entire structure shall be designed in enough detail to provide for an estimate that will be the basis of the structural system selection. The portion of the structure selected for comparing alternate system costs shall include framing for at least one typical bay of the roof, floor, and foundation systems. Additional costs of nonstructural systems attributable to a structural alternative shall be included in the comparative cost estimate for that alternative. Determination of these additional costs must be based upon a concept of the complete building configuration, including architectural, mechanical, electrical, and other systems; hence, the main structural members must be sized to check for compatibility with ceiling, duct, lighting, and all other space demands. The method of providing the required degree of fire-resistance shall be determined for each alternative and the cost must be included. The submittal shall include the following items:

1. A complete description, with sketches, of each structural system considered.

2. Design calculations supporting the member sizes used for the cost estimate.

3. A comparative cost for each system, clearly showing all costs and quantities used.

4. An analysis of the study results with justification for the system selected.

(b) For projects with a construction value of less than $10,000,000, provide a rational justification of the proposed structural system.

3.4.2 Design Analysis

The following specific structural information shall be provided in a brief consolidated format:

3.4.2.1 References

List all references used in the Concept design including UFC, industry standards, and project specific criteria provided at the Charrette or pre-design meeting.

3.4.2.2 Design Loads

Design load values to be used in the design shall be identified, including roof and floor loads, wind loads, lateral earth pressure loads, seismic loads, etc., as applicable.

3.4.2.3 Lateral Stability

Describe the method of providing lateral stability for the proposed structural system to resist seismic, wind, and other lateral loads. Include sufficient calculations to verify the adequacy of the proposed lateral load resisting system.

3.4.2.4 Fire Resistance

Describe the fire resistance requirements of the structure and the proposed materials and systems to be used.

3.4.2.5 Antiterrorism/Force Protection (AT/FP) & Progressive Collapse

AT/FP and Progressive Collapse provisions which affect the structural design of the project will be identified and briefly described. Refer to Chapter 10 ANTITERRORISM/FORCE PROTECTION (AT/FP) for specific guidance related to AT/FP and Progressive Collapse.

3.4.2.6 Structural Calculations

Calculations for typical roof, floor, and foundation members as applicable for the structural system proposed.

3.4.3 Drawings

Sufficient framing plans are required for roof, floors, and foundations, as applicable, to indicate layout of principal members. Typical sections shall be furnished through roof, floors, and foundations indicating materials and type of construction proposed. Drawings will contain a set of general notes indicating design live, wind, and seismic loading, references used in the structural design, and applicable material strengths.

3.5 INTERIM DESIGN (65%)

3.5.1 Design Analysis

The interim design analysis shall include all items presented in the concept design analysis and any revisions necessitated by review comments on the Concept Submittal. Calculations shall be included for all principal members, including the structure foundations. Structural design issues related to AT/FP and Progressive Collapse will be presented in the design analysis along with structural calculations related to these issues.

3.5.2 Specifications

Provide redlined marked up specifications in accordance with The Tobyhanna Army Depot Installation Design Guide, September 2010.

3.5.3 Drawings

Drawings for this submittal will include roof and floor framing plans, as applicable. All principal members will be shown on the plans with top of steel shown relative to the Tobyhanna Army Depot’s existing Monument System or proposed finished…
