Presenter: Morgan Wilder
Advisor: Derek Swanson + Johnn Judd

2. 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

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

Use model + understanding of occupancy to make judgements

6. First floor framing

9. 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

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

15. 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

16. 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
