This project concerns design of a one-story parking garage in a 90x120-foot land in a North Chicago suburb (Cook County). Cars will be using both the ground level and the roof. The suggested design for the roof is a series of simply-supported girders on brackets (which are attached to columns). Secondary members are in the form of pre-fabricated T-section joists. A shear wall system is considered for the wind load effects (note: because of the shear walls, your design will be only for DL and LL).
As a minimum, the following tasks are required:
1. Develop a schematic design for the facility. Include the locations of columns and show girders with a few cross sections (that will also show single footings for columns).
2. Conduct a preliminary design and identify all loads (DL and LL). Decide on the type of materials to be used.
3. Design a typical girder.
4. Design a typical column.
5. Design a typical bracket.
6. Design a typical footing
7. Prepare detail drawings for the beam, column and footing you designed.
Bonus: Additional points will be given for the design of the T-section joists and design of a typical foundation.
Your calculation sheets must be clear and written on suggested calculation sheets. Include a section in your report (up-front) for the specifications summarizing material properties, pertinent codes and specifications, assumptions made, etc. Also include a critique, at the end of your report, summarizing what you found as areas that perhaps more work would have been needed and/or design should have been done differently.
