Final Presentation for CE 331 Introduction to Structural Engineering
2
Your Assignment for Project 2 was to: Visit a construction site Photograph structural components, copy structural drawings Calculate structural adequacy
3
Describes your structure Summarizes your structural analysis Create an interesting presentation that: PuPu PnPn

Gravity Load Analysis for Sears Tower for CE 331, Spring 2007 Project 2 by Matt Damon and Jennifer Lopez
6
The Sears Tower is a 108-story steel-frame office building in downtown Chicago Illinois. ( Original) Owner: Sears & Roebuck Co. Contractor: Morse-Diesel Inc. Structural Engineer: Skidmore, Owings, and Merrill
7
The Sears Tower is constructed of nine steel “tubes”, each 75 feet across.
8
Insert several slides using your own photos here.

We analyzed a typical interior column and spread footing. Elevation View - steel tube column - reinforced concrete foundation - steel roof deck - bar joist - joist girder

We checked the design of an interior column for axial buckling. PuPu P n

Column live load = 15 psf Specified live load = 20 psf Interior Column
13
Column live load = 15 psf specified live load = 20 psf tributary area = 525 sf live load reduction factor = 0.75 reduced live load = 15 psf
14
Factored load to column (P u ) = 30.6 k Pu = [ 1.2 (14psf) + 1.6 (15psf) ] (30ft)(25ft) = 30.6k PuPu

Column capacity (P n ) = 44 k failure mode: axial buckling grade 50 steelE = 29,000 ksi fy = 50ksi slenderness (kL u /r)r = 23.4 in k = 1.0 Lu = 10.5 ft AISC TablePn = 44 k HSS 3x4x3/16

Design check shows column design is OK PuPu P n
17
We checked the design of a typical reinforced concrete spread footing for flexure failure.
18
Flexure failure occurs when demand (Mu) exceeds capacity ( Mn). location of flexure failure factored soil pressure, q u P u, factored axial force from column ququ C T Mn Mu
