Keystone library Renovation

My hope for this project was to create a library that

would be among if not the best library in the world.
The building has plenty of space for all you book
nerds. There is easy access for everyone equipped
with a set of stairs and an elevator. The second
floor has many computer areas and a green roof.
The green roof has tables and fountains for a
relaxing experience.

 Codes and Regulations
Overview
The building codes that apply to the keystone
library are Fire and Building Safety Standards,
Indiana Building code, Indiana Building Code
Standards, Indiana Handicapped accessibility code.
The building must have a minimum of two exits.
The walls are made of concrete and brick. Concrete
because of its durability and strength. Brick to add
a nice and aesthetically pleasing look. The
minimum lot size is ten thousand square feet and it
cannot exceed six stories in height. I had to follow
these constraints based on the local ordinances.
 Building Design
For my green roof the layers were made of sand,
grass, fabric and earth. The layers for my roof are
made of roofing EPDM membrane 1,
Insulation/thermal barriers 5, Metal Deck 2 . I
decided to a flat roof since it would allow me to put
a green roof. It will also allow me to put extra
things there that would take up space. I decided to
not put very many plants because I didnt want too
much loading on my roof. I still had to worry about
snow load. The trees are so people could get fresh
oxygen when there outside. The floors are different
from residential floors since they have to hold more
loads. When you walk in the library there is a
childrens help area to the front and to the very
back there is a mechanical room. To the right there
is the librarians head office. To the left of that there
are two meeting rooms. As you walk further back
you will see book shelves and a few couches. In the
very back on the right there is a history room with
a couch.
For the second floor when you get out of the
elevator you will see a bunch of computer stations.
To the left there will be a public bathroom. When
you turn around you can the green roof in all it
beauty. There a bunch of tables and fountains and
greenery.
 Structural Design
Based on the loading the joists I chose were 16K7
for all my interior joists and 18K3 for all my exterior
joists. For my beams I chose wide flanged 18x35 I
beams and for my girders I chose wide flanged
24x103 I beams. I chose these beams since they
were able to hold the calculated dead and live load
for this structure.
Internal shear control the design when there are
more than simply a uniform load, for example, if
there were point loads on top of a uniform load,
internal shear would be dominant in the design.
Limits on deflection of depth and weight per foot of
the beam would cause an engineer to choose a
beam that is not the most cost effective structural
steel section.
 Wastewater management
I had to calculate the waste water for this library. I
calculated the slope of the pipe to be eight point
two percent. Which is good since the minimum
slope for a pipe is two percent. There was no need
for a septic tank since we dont live in a rural area.
You should glad we dont a septic tank.

Conclusions
Overall this library was very challenging and time
consuming. I pleased with the finished product.
Before this library there was an empty space, but
now there an awesome structure for everyone to
enjoy. The calculation were challenging but I am
confident in my math skills. You have nothing to
worry about when it come to the roof collapsing or
the whole building just coming down on you.
Nothing illegal was done all the regulations were
followed. The material used are all safe and
fireproof. I hope you one day get to see my library I
am confident you will be pleased with what you
see.
