- Reading #8 Steel Modules + Spans 4.14-4.18, 4.22, 5.37-5.38
Topic
Federal Hall Structure
Objectives
- Understand the role of each component in a basic structural system
- Learn how to size structural components using basic rules of thumb and calculations from the book
- Apply these concepts to Federal Hall and design a structural system
Activities
- Group B – Reading #8 presentation
- Reading #8 recap
- Understanding structural framing – reading framing plans
- In class framing demonstration
- In class activity:
- The class will be divided into groups (same as reading groups) and sent to breakout rooms. Each group shall design a framing plan for one of their CMU buildings (from Class 9 activity) listed below:
- Group A – Mia’s building
- Group B – Vanessa’s building
- Group C – Zijie’s building
- Group D – Danny’s building
- All framing members will bear on the CMU walls (interior and exterior), and no interior columns shall be added unless absolutely necessary
- Groups should use the smallest members possible when designing their framing system
- Only the structural components below shall be used:
- Decking – 5′-0″ max span
- 12″ Beam – 15′-0″ max span
- 8″ Beam – 12′-0″ max span
- 6″ Beam – 8′-0″ max span
- Label all members in the framing plan, and indicate which direction the decking is spanning

- The class will be divided into groups (same as reading groups) and sent to breakout rooms. Each group shall design a framing plan for one of their CMU buildings (from Class 9 activity) listed below:
- Module 3 Drawing Assignment review
- Federal Hall structural grid / components
- In class structural framing demonstration

To-Do After Class
- Module 3 Drawing Assignment
- Begin the structural axon drawing by setting up the grid and laying out the column locations
- Structural Axon to be drawn at 1/8″ = 1′-0″, Component Sections to be drawn at 1-1/2″ = 1′-0″ scale
