Q

Staggered truss system

A

Every other floor is a truss - minimizes the thickness of the slab and the number of columns and floor to floor height

Q

Fireproofing steel columns (6)

A
  • encasements in reinforced concrete
  • enclosure in metal lath and plaster
  • enclosure in multiple layers of gypsum
  • spray-on fireproofing
  • loose insulation filled inside a sheet metal enclosure
  • water filled box column made with a wide flange shape with added steel plates

Q

Castellated beam

A

Improved beam produced by flame cutting the web of a wide flange section along a zigzag path the reassembling the beam by welding its two halves point to point thus increasing its depth without increasing its weight

Q

Shear vs moment

A

Shear:
Flanges aren’t engaged

Moment:
More rigid
More expensive

Q

Open web steel joists/trusses (3)

A

K series: standard 8-60ft long and 8-30in deep

LH series: long span 25-96ft long and 18-48in deep

DLH series: deep long span 89-144ft long and 52-96in deep

18
Q

Bearing type bolt
vs
Slip critical bolt

A

Slip critical slightly deforms the steel, creating tension and not allowing any movement

Bearing type bolt it rests on the bolt, some movement allowed
