High Altitude Performance Center Presenter: Morgan Wilder Advisor: Derek Swanson + Johnn Judd

Purpose Culminate structural design classes into comprehensive project Practice design process mirroring a practicing engineer Learn the requirements of being a professional structural engineer Gain practical understanding of construction process

Group objective Provide viable structural design including: Design loads Column grid Beams, girders, and joist layout Lateral resistance system Foundation Connections Detailing

First floor framing

SAP Design 3D Modeling Program “Accurate” representation of completed building Nonlinear analysis More robust overall (Simulates final product) Includes connections Strength properties change as members deflect Entire structure connected

Construction Site Visits Interaction between existing and New Get an idea how it was built See difficult connections

Julia File Attempt at designing structure in linear analysis program written for analysis Keeping track of geometry 200+ Nodes 200+ Elements Reduced Structure Focus on specific areas Compare to commercial program

Moving Forward Continue design and include seismic application Refine design and optimize where we can Design complex connections due to geometry Design typical connection Look at foundation design Compile construction drawings
