STRUCTURAL SYSTEMS
2.1

Foundations
Foundation design is based on geotechnical report by EAN DESIGN, dated Nov

The floor system consists of 2.5 NW concrete on 3 metal deck spanning 8-12?
feet to typical floor beams. The beams span to girders which span to columns.
Using the following loads
Live Load = 50 psf
Dead Loads:
Concrete + MD = 45 psf

2.7

Cladding System
Cladding will consist of a combination of brick veneer and a structural curtain wall
system in portions of the faade. Brick veneer system will have a metal stud
backup wall. Architect shall provide for adequate control joints to control
cracking of veneer and backup wall, per Brick Institute of America standards.
It is assumed in this design that the structural curtain wall system will span
between floor levels (vertically). Curtain wall and connections to the structure
shall be designed by a PE employed by the curtain wall supplier to conform with
the wind and seismic loads.
