  7. Structural System Description Diagrid Triangulated “deep beam” frame Functions as both gravity and lateral system Constructed from steel wide flange shapes Welded or bolted for full rigidity Fully insulated and clad in precast concrete Brian Genduso – AE Senior Thesis 2004 University of Cincinnati Athletic Center

  8. Structural System Description V Columns Fabricated from heavy wide-flanges or built-up boxes Rigidly connect to the diagrid and substructure Help transfer lateral load, primarily in North-South direction Brian Genduso – AE Senior Thesis 2004 University of Cincinnati Athletic Center

  9. Structural System Description Braced Frames Four types Help carry lateral load from bottom of diagrid to foundation East-West direction only Brian Genduso – AE Senior Thesis 2004 University of Cincinnati Athletic Center

  11. Problem Statement Three main concerns Heavy diagrid Connection intensive Limited views Brian Genduso – AE Senior Thesis 2004 University of Cincinnati Athletic Center

  12. Problem Statement Goals Address the three main concerns 1) Reduce structure weight 2) Reduce connection complexity 3) Maximize viewable window space Additionally Increase overall structural efficiency Decrease overall building cost Ensure construction feasibility Minimize interior impact Maintain building shape Maintain floor height Brian Genduso – AE Senior Thesis 2004 University of Cincinnati Athletic Center

  14. Design Philosophy Become an “architect-engineer” Aesthetic quality Practical application Unique yet sensible Alter the look and feel Maintain shape, height, space layout Innovative architecture demands innovative engineering solutions! Brian Genduso – AE Senior Thesis 2004 University of Cincinnati Athletic Center

  16. Redesign Approach Solution Area Concept Solution Area I - Changing the material Solution Area II – Modifying the geometry Solution Area III – Removing it altogether Progressively disruptive! Brian Genduso – AE Senior Thesis 2004 University of Cincinnati Athletic Center

  17. Redesign Approach Breadth Areas Daylighting Study Façade will change Attempt to integrate daylighting into new exterior Qualitative assessment Construction Study Erection sequence Material layout planning Brian Genduso – AE Senior Thesis 2004 University of Cincinnati Athletic Center

  19. Structural Redesign Precast concrete Cast-in-place concrete Solution Area I Changing the Material of the Diagrid 5 different materials Steel wide flange Round/rectangular HSS Glulam timber Brian Genduso – AE Senior Thesis 2004 University of Cincinnati Athletic Center

  20. Structural Redesign Tabular Results Brian Genduso – AE Senior Thesis 2004 University of Cincinnati Athletic Center

  21. Structural Redesign Overall Results Stick with steel wide flanges Brian Genduso – AE Senior Thesis 2004 University of Cincinnati Athletic Center

  22. Structural Redesign Two main ways to accomplish this: Solution Area II Modifying the Diagrid Geometry 1) Open up the grid John Hancock Center 2) Adjust configuration Central China Television Tower Brian Genduso – AE Senior Thesis 2004 University of Cincinnati Athletic Center

  24. Structural Redesign Considerations Structural Efficiency Structural Stability Architectural Impact Floor Framing Impact Material Cost Complexity Brian Genduso – AE Senior Thesis 2004 University of Cincinnati Athletic Center

  25. Structural Redesign 2D STAAD Model Brian Genduso – AE Senior Thesis 2004 University of Cincinnati Athletic Center

  26. Structural Redesign Tabular Results Observations Varying member length has a substantial impact on structural efficiency. In general, there is a noticeable tradeoff between architectural impact and cost. High system redundancy helps control deflection. Brian Genduso – AE Senior Thesis 2004 University of Cincinnati Athletic Center

  27. Structural Redesign Overall Results Brian Genduso – AE Senior Thesis 2004 University of Cincinnati Athletic Center

  28. Structural Redesign Conclusion Original Case 6 Stick with the original diagrid configuration! Brian Genduso – AE Senior Thesis 2004 University of Cincinnati Athletic Center

  29. Structural Redesign A whole new approach Diagrid is eliminated Move lateral system within the building Curtain wall becomes new building enclosure Development phases Conceptual Design Schematic Design Design Development Construction Documents Solution Area III Removing the Diagrid Brian Genduso – AE Senior Thesis 2004 University of Cincinnati Athletic Center
