STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS AND DESIGN
Introduction
Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting (ARFF) renovation and expansion includes demolition of portion of existing structural steel. The expansion requires the design of concrete moment resisting frame, owner preferred, with a maximum clear span of 72 feet at the vehicle bay area and smaller spans at both sides for service and storage areas. There is also new mezzanine storage over one of the vehicle bay area.
Building Description
The expansion composed of new building of reinforced concrete frame. Main frame is a gable type of 24” by 48” concrete columns with 72 feet clear span beam measuring 48 inches at the column support tapering down to 36 inches at mid span intersection. The building has side frames that support stability and resisting lateral loads while continuous frame were used in the longitudinal direction. In general, the building is a special moment resisting space frame. The concrete roof slab in between frames transfers the lateral forces to the main frames down to the foundation. This will achieve the proper load path of this high one story but massive concrete structure.
The building has a perimeter parapet along the main frames. Side parapet has as high as 10 feet while front and back parapet has as high as 15 feet. Openings at the front and back are provided with Bi-fold type doors while roll-up doors were provided to the side frames. Cranes with 5 ton capacity were also provided at the service area.
