Vertical Load Carrying System | Concrete over steel deck supported by steel beams and columns, and friction pendulumn bearings at the base. |
Lateral Force Resisting System | Steel moment frames with RBS connections and 184 viscous dampers, isolated by 69 triple concave friction pendulum bearings (displacament capacity of 42 inches) at the base. |
Foundation Type | Concrete mat foundation (4 feet thick at the tower and 2.25 feet at the podium) with raised pedestals at isolator locations. |
Remarks | The building consists of a 3-story podium and a 12-story tower, and was designed according to the 2007 California Building Code. Funding for instrumentation was provided by the owner. CSMIP provided assistance in instrumentation. |
