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

  • In class structural framing demonstration
    • Link to recording here

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
    • Due Thursday, 12/17 by 6:00pm
