Design of a Book Store R.C. Structure

The essential features of a multistory structure for a book store in the City of Santa Clara, California, as determined by Building drawings, are shown in Figures 1 to 5.

This term project consists of three phases:

A) Site Evaluation & Selection (Planning Report & Presentation).

B) Tasks to be Researched, Reviewed, and Presented.

C) Structural Design of the Building (Design Report & Presentation).

Phase A) Site Evaluation & Selection (Planning Report & Presentation)

As a Civil Engineer, you should first complete the following tasks prior to tasks "B" and "C".

1. Identify at least three (3) lots in Santa Clara, CA where the City of Santa Clara would allow for construction of a structure with the above type of use.

2. Identify lot size, topographic, geological map, trees, water main, & sewer lines.

3. Check this given building project and its dimensions (see figures 1 to 5) against city allowed setbacks, heights, & zoning for the final site chosen by the group.

4. Become familiar with city requirements regarding: Re-zoning, parking needs (including handicap, motorcycle, & bicycles), changing heights and/or other building dimensional limits, variances, Environmental Impact Report (E.I.R.), Negative Declaration (ND), and Traffic Impact Study. (T.I.S.)

5. Prepare, as a group, an oral presentation with visual aids using Microsoft PowerPoint software addressing the above findings. All students in each group shall equally participate in delivery of presentation. This will be the "Planning Presentation"

6. Submit, as a group, a final written "Planning Report." Each student needs to indicate his/her role in the Planning Report preparation process. This written report should include names and titles of all city staff that group member(s) met in regard to this project (& site selection). A copy of all related materials & filled relevant forms obtained from City should be included in the appendix of report.

Draft Planning Report is due on the 5th week of the semester.

Phase B) Tasks to be Researched, Reviewed, and Presented

Each group will be responsible to make a five (5)-minute presentation on three (3) tasks from the following list during the fourth (4th) week of the semester. All bold tasks are required for all groups; and must be described in the final reports, as well as the final presentation:

These tasks are: 1, 2, 11, 12, 13, 14, & 15

Tasks -

1. Assessment of teamwork which is listing contributions of each group member & her/his percentage towards total group work (Planning & Design Reports).

2. Initial site development, planning, & layout of the building structure including floor area, parking, landscaping, etc. (Planning Report)

3. Coordination with client.

4. Impact of design and construction on the adjacent properties.

5. Geological study including balanced grading possibilities and seismic hazard consideration.

6. Seismic hazard study.

7. Geotechnical study including soil boring plan and foundation type study.

8. Traffic and environmental constraints including air pollution impact statement for short (i.e., 6 months) and long term (i.e., 15 years) periods.

9. Municipal code requirements including storm and sanitary drains system design and a plan for disposal of hazardous waste, if any exist depending on the type of the structure assigned in this project.

10. Fire and serviceability criteria.

11. Layout of all that applies to your structure: interior walls, partitions, corridors, doors, windows, offices, waiting areas, restrooms, cafeteria, laboratories (Architecture).

12. Agency involvement: Any agency that must be contacted to obtain permits before starting construction; for example, Planning Department, Department of Public Works, Building Department; Fire Department, City Electric Utilities (PG&E &/or Silicon Valley Power), School Districts, County Health Department, Telephone/Cable Companies, Water Company, Sewer Company, Santa Clara/San Jose Water Pollution Control Plant (Planning Report).

13. Scheduling for required planning, design, & construction activities (Planning & Design Reports).

14. Cost estimation including but not limited to: land, engineering design, materials, labor, and other construction costs (Planning & Design Reports).

15. Perform all required engineering drawings. These include blue prints (Design Report).

Phase C) Structural Design of the Building (Design Report & Presentation)

C1) Building's Structural and Architectural Design Constraints

After completing tasks in phases A & B, students will proceed to the structural design phase. You should be aware of and compliant with all architectural and structural constraints detailed below in your design:

I. Architectural constraints are:

1. Slab to next slab/roof height is as shown in Table-1 below.

2. Max allowable girder depth is 30 inches.

3. Location of elevator shafts is fixed, as shown in Figures 2 & 3.

4. Floors are constrained to the dimensions of the building shown in Figures (2-5) & Table 1.

Maximum floor overhang of 1'-0" is allowed.

5. Columns are only allowed along column gridlines; and are to be added if needed.

6. Adequate roof drainage is required. Refer to ASCE 7-16 and 2105 IPC plumbing codes for rain load design.

II. Structural constraints are:

7. All slabs shall be designed as one-way slabs; Identify areas where slab cannot be designed as a one-way slab piece; and, indicate in your design report how to mitigate non-one way slab areas in structural design of this building.

8. Code requirements must be met for structural design of the building. (The design must be in compliance with following codes: ACI 318-14, 2015 IBC, ASCE 7-16, other local & city codes, and fire safety requirements.

9. Allowable loading strengths and data are given in Appendix A.

C2) Project Design

Mindful of the city limitations and design constraints, each design team shall proceed with structural design and construction cost estimation of this project. Once the design is complete, each group shall present their project (Design Presentation) & submit bound complete Set of Drawings & one Design Report.

An oral presentation with the submitted reports will be evaluated based on the attached evaluation guidelines. See pages 10, 11, 12, & 13 for further information.

I need every single words on this document to be complete. Also here is more details: The project is to design a MODERN DAY three story book store. The book store has to have modern day features such as electronic check outs, online books, a starbuck, etc. The book store has to make profit and features added to this building should make sense. When picking the location for this design, we can use google maps to find a location in city of Santa Clara, CA and the location picked has to have a reason behind it and the location should make sense in city of Santa Clara, CA. We have to find three locations and pick one and explain why that location was picked of the three. The location has to be able to allow us to build the already given floor plans and isometric view of the structure. every thing in the design should be labeled, such as if it’s a door it should be labeled a door, or restaurant, then It should be labeled.

The project consists of three phases and each phase has its requirements which should be answered fully and cannot be skipped as the professor will fail us if we are missing any information. The project talks about a team, however, I do not have a team and am forced to do this whole project by myself. Please follow the instruction provided in the uploaded PDF to complete the project fully, as it requires planning, cost estimating, structural analysis, bending diagrams, shear diagrams, moment diagrams, calculations, etc. Everything should be done and explained in words as to what the they mean or why was a beam designed that way, etc. as mentioned lot size will be 60,000sf and please sure to follow every single code in the US for the project.

There are no lecture notes as the professor wrote the textbook which is our notes. The textbook is called Structural Concrete Theory and Design, Six Edition by M. Nadim Hassoun, Akthem AL-Manaseer. I am attaching the ACI codes which has to be followed and other documents for you guys to review and base the project on. There is a course summary document with all formulas and many other resources for you. I will also forward you pictures of chapter 23 of the book which shows a sample design and calculation for a very small project but its similar to this. Format - Spelling, grammar, proper sentences, Clear figures, tables, equations, & flow charts, Quality of report, including graphics, Adherence to requested formatting. Notes: Each student will be asked questions during presentation based on his/her contribution. Also, each student must contribute to the structural design task.
