STRUCTURAL DESIGN
The structural building frame is comprised of a primary structural composite steel floor and steel roof frame supported on steel columns and spread foundations. Lateral stability is provided by a composite steel diaphragm at the floor level and steel roof deck diaphragm at the roof level which transfers lateral load to the vertical lateral resisting structural elements including a combination of concrete shearwalls and concrete masonry shearwalls.
