Vertical Load Carrying System | Concrete fill over steel deck supported by steel beams and columns. |
Lateral Force Resisting System | Special steel moment resisting frames (with RBS connections) in both directions. Moment frames are locared along the the perimeter in the logitudinal direction and along major gridlines in the transverse directiom. Concrete shear walls and steel moment frames provide lateral resistance below Level 1. Additionally, viscous dampers are located along the height of the structure from Level 6 to the Roof, typically 6 but not less than 4 at each level, in the transverse direction. |
Foundation Type | Reinforced concrete mat foundation (3 - 18 feet thick). |
Remarks | The building was designed in accordance with the 2010 California Building Code. Funding for instrumentation was provided by the owner. CSMIP provided assistance in instrumentation. |
