A Quantitative Study Of Robustness Characteristics In Steel Framed Structures, Christopher Herman Raebel
A Quantitative Study Of Robustness Characteristics In Steel Framed Structures, Christopher Herman Raebel
Dissertations (1934 -)
Robustness is a desirable property in any structural design. Robustness may be thought of as the building's inherent structural ability to resist loads other than those anticipated during design. Examples of unanticipated loads are damage to a column or beam due to impact; damage due to the concussion of a blast; strength reduction due to extreme heat during a fire; and localized accidental overload of a beam or column. Each of these events, although very different in their nature, has one major point in common; in each case the path of load resistance changes in a way that was not …

140 New Montgomery Power Distribution Design, Stephen Shaffer
Electrical Engineering
The Power Distribution Design for a high-rise building requires a great deal of coordination and design from the structural, electrical, mechanical, telecommunication, and PG&E engineers. This report will cover how I was able to coordinate and design the power distribution system for 140 New Montgomery, a 28 story building located in San Francisco. Furthermore, this report will cover the steps taken in the future to ensure a smooth transition from the schematic design phase to the construction document phase.
