Description
One-story, 41'-High Concrete Tilt-up with 56' Interior Spans
Challenges
- Two bay-concentric braced frames created obstruction for tenant operations
- Traditional moment frame connections required beam and column sizes that were not domestically available
- Project budget and schedule precluded the use of other connection systems without additional testing due to SAC's imposed limitations on the extent of their prequalification
Solutions
- Four-bay steel moment frame using SidePlate® moment connections with W36x columns and W36x210 beams allowed the tenant the open space required for optimum operations
- Use of Dogbone moment connection exceeded its 300-lb/ft beam weight limitation
