C1002 STRUCTURAL SYSTEMS

C1002.1 GRAVITY SYSTEM

The existing dormitory building utilizes steel framing as the primary load-carrying system to support the building’s gravity loads (i.e.

dead, live, snow). The new addition shall match the existing building by using steel frames to support gravity loads from added floors and steel roof. Typical floors shall be constructed of composite floor slabs supported by composite steel beams that span between steel columns. All beam to girder connections are to be of the shear-type while all beam/girder-to-column connections are to be of the moment-resisting type.

The contractor is responsible for the detailed design of the framing system, floor slabs and the metal roofing system. The contractor is responsible for providing sufficient documentation to verify that all performance requirements have been met, the design configuration matched and may have to provide added substrate support to adequately resist imposed loads.

C1002.2 LATERAL SYSTEM

The existing dormitory building utilizes ordinary moment resisting steel frames in both orthogonal directions to provide resistance to lateral loads. Floor slabs and roof deck serve as rigid diaphragms transferring lateral loads due to wind or earthquake effects to supporting frames at various levels along the building height. The new building addition shall be connected to the existing building at all floor and/or roof levels and shall also utilize ordinary moment resisting frames in both direction to add to the building overall lateral stability.

SECTION 01 10 10 Page 16

C1010 FLOOR CONSTRUCTION

C1010.1 FLOOR STRUCTURAL FRAME

The proposed floor structural system for the new addition consists of floor metal decks supported by steel floor beams that span between steel columns. Floor slab construction is indicated by Section C1010.2 below. All floor beam-to-column connections in both directions are to be of the moment-resisting type to ensure lateral stability.

C1010.2 FLOOR DECKS, SLABS, AND TOPPINGS

From the 2013 Dorm Design, the floor slab construction for the new addition consists of three layers of gypsum board (from top down: one

¾” gypsum board over two layers of ½” gypsum board.) on top of 2” rigid mineral fiber insulation with an additional layer of ½” gyps um board underneath of the rigid insulation. The whole gypsum board and rigid insulation assembly is supported by a combination of one 1 5/16” metal deck and one 6” metal deck. The 1 5/16” metal deck must be laid on top of 6” metal deck. In addition, the 1 5/16” metal deck must be laid in the direction perpendicular to the span direction of the 6” metal deck. The 6” metal deck must be able to span between support steel beams for support of design loads.

C1020 ROOF CONSTRUCTION

C1020.1 ROOF STRUCTURAL FRAME

The proposed gabled roof structural system for the new addition consists of metal roof deck supported by roof steel purlins spanning between roof steel beams and columns. The roof sloped profile shall be planned to fit perpendicularly to the existing building gabled roof.

Roof purlin-to-beam connections are to be of the shear-type while purlin and/or beam-to-column connections are of the moment-resisting type to ensure lateral stability in addition to improved gravity load carrying capacity.

C1020.2 ROOF DECKS, SLABS, AND SHEATHING

Roof construction for the new addition consists of metal deck spanning between steel purlins. Selected roof deck depth and thickness should be adequate to provide required flexural strength and satisfy serviceability requirements. Steel roof deck is designed to support all out-of-plane applied loads and resist lateral loads, acting as a diaphragm to collect and transfer lateral loads to the building frames. The metal decking shall be designed to run perpendicular to roof slope and spans between roof purlins. Standing seam metal roof is assumed to be installed over the metal deck diaphragm to serve as an aesthetic element and water proofing material.

C1020.3 CANOPIES
