Plan ShapeRectangular (irregular)
Base Dimensions296 x 199 ft
Typical Floor Dimensions253 x 100 ft
Design Date2012
Instrumentation2017, 28 accelerometers on 9 levels.
 
Vertical Load Carrying SystemConcrete fill over steel deck supported by steel beams and columns.
Lateral Force Resisting SystemSpecial 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 TypeReinforced concrete mat foundation (3 - 18 feet thick).
RemarksThe building was designed in accordance with the 2010 California Building Code. Funding for instrumentation was provided by the owner. CSMIP provided assistance in instrumentation.
