ETABS Model
The self-weight of the columns and beams is accounted for in the
model
Rigid end zones are applied to all beams with a reduction of 50%
The slabs are considered to act as rigid diaphragms
The self-weight of the slab is applied as an additional area mass on
the rigid diaphragm
P- effects are considered
The moment of inertia for columns = 0.7Ig
The moment of inertia for beams = 0.35Ig
The compressive strength of all concrete is 5000 psi

Lateral Design
Lateral Design of Beams and Columns
Beams and columns checked to determine if they are

sufficient to resist wind and seismic loads
Moments on beams due to wind and seismic loads obtained
from ETABS and input into spBeam models
Axial loads and moments on columns due to wind and
seismic loads input into spColumn
Conclusions
Shear reinforcing had to be increased in half of the beams

Top reinforcing had to be increased for a few beams
Bottom reinforcing sufficient for all beams
Some edge beams in E-W direction had to be increased in size
Columns did not have to be upsized

Reinforcing had to be increased in some columns
Inherent moment resistance of concrete structure is

sufficient to resist lateral loads
Shear walls are not needed!

The spread footing at G-3 was redesigned for additional dead

load from concrete structure
Existing 11-0x11-0 footing had to be increased to 12-0x12-0
Reinforcing was designed by hand
Punching shear was checked for the 36 deep footing and was
found to be adequate

Introduction

Foundation Check
One-way slab and beam system was chosen as the
floor system for the office tower
The inherent moment resistance of the concrete
structure is sufficient to resist the lateral loads
Shear walls are not needed, which increases the
flexibility of the floor plan
The concrete redesign is approximately $500,000
more than the existing steel structure
The construction duration for the concrete redesign

is significantly longer than for steel
The concrete redesign is a viable alternative,

although composite steel is most likely the best
structural system
