1 Executive Summary Contained in this report is design information related to the structural system of the Residence Inn by Marriot located in Stamford, Connecticut. Specifically, this report covers: code usage, gravity loading, lateral loading, types of structural systems and spot checks of representative structural members applying loads determined here within. Codes and Standards The design for the Residence Inn is governed by the BOCA 1996 Code and the accompanying 1999 Connecticut Supplement with the 2000 Amendments. In addition, the structural design is governed by the AISC LRFD Second Edition and ACI Applicable ASTM Standards are cited as governing requirements for materials. Gravity Loads Gravity loads used in design are determined by BOCA 1996 in conjunction with ASCE In general, material dead loads are determined using industry standard assumption and published material weights. Live loads come directly from code. Lateral Loads Wind and seismic loading are found through provisions set by the BOCA Code. At this stage it is difficult to determine which lateral load type controls the design of the lateral system since the maximum shear loads for individual floors are neither all wind nor seismic values. Structural System The Residence Inn by Marriott is designed as a steel framed structure with precast concrete plank flooring. This type of construction is very common in hotel construction due to its relative ease/speed of construction and cost. Typical spans are 22-0 and most floor to floor heights are Standard framing member sizes are W10 s, W12 s and W14 s. Lateral forces are resisted by means of concentrically located braced frames. Member Spot Check Generally, re-designed members using the recalculated loads match the design of the original members very closely. Discrepancies arise due to differing design ideologies, specifically in regards to limiting deflection. The lateral check is done very approximately, however results follow expected behavior in regards to stress and deflection behavior. Page 1 of 21

2 Structural System Description and Summary Foundation System The foundation system for the Stamford Residence Inn is divided in two distinctive areas; each covering approximately half of the building s overall footprint. The basement level slab elevation is twelve feet below grade and lies under the eastern half of the structure. The basement walls are designed to resist soil pressure and to carry the ground level slenderwall cladding system. Perimeter column foundations are spread footings and strip footings run between the spread footings to transfer the basement wall loads. The majority of the interior columns in the basement area transfer into mat foundations. Two main factors forced the use of mat footings. The first is the close proximity of the columns is not conducive to spread footings; therefore the use of mat footings would be more efficient. Secondly, the majority of the interior columns in the basement are part of the lateral system. A mat footing can resist overturning moments produced by lateral loads more effectively than spread footings as a result of the added mass and dual action. The ground floor foundation is very similar to the basement foundation. Gravity columns transfer loads to spread footings while the lateral system columns transfer to mat footings. The reasoning for the usage of mat and spread footings is the same as those in the basement. One primary difference between the ground level foundation system and the basement system is the allowable soil pressure. Foundations below the basement are on soils with an allowable pressure of 10 ksf whereas foundations below the ground floor sit on soils with an allowable pressure of 6 ksf. Gravity System Steel framed construction with hollow core precast plank flooring is the selected system for the Residence Inn. This type of construction is very typical for hotels due to ease and speed of construction and its cost is comparable to other systems. Typical spans are 22-0 and almost all non-typical spans are shorter than The flooring system is constructed with eight inch hollow core precast concrete planks. Generally, planks span east-west on the western half of the structure and north-south on the eastern side of the structure. Typical beams are W14 s and W10 s, while typical columns are W12 s and W10 s. Floors nine through thirteen feature cantilevered balconies on the southeast corner of the building. Eight inch solid precast concrete plank is used on the balconies and moment connections are used to connect the cantilevered beams in these areas. Page 2 of 21

3 Composite steel construction is used for the mezzanine level that is suspended from the second floor. The mezzanine level consists only of a corridor providing access between the two elevators. Composite construction is appropriate to keep the suspended weight low and to keep within the restricted depth set forth by architectural needs. See Appendix A for a typical floor plan. Lateral System The primary lateral force resisting system of the hotel is concentrically located steel braced frames. In all, eight braced frames comprise the lateral system of the structure. Two frames are located at the western end of the structure while the balance of the frames are on the eastern side. Frames are located at the stairwells, elevator shafts and mechanical closet. These locations are ideal as the least amount of obstructions and usable floor area depreciation will be caused by the bracing. Typical beam sizes range from W8 s to W18 s. Column sizes are limited to W12 s and W14 s. Bracing is accomplished with hollow structural sections (HSS), which range in size from 12x8 s, 8x8 s, and 6x6 s. Design of a lateral system for this structure is not ideal due the locations frames are limited to be in. See Appendix B for a typical frame elevation and plan showing frame locations. Miscellaneous Structural Elements Below is a description of non-typical or special structural features requiring special design attention at a later time. 1. Cast-in-place concrete parking garage access ramp located at the southeast corner of the building will need to be analyzed. With the exception of the foundations and elevator room slab the ramp is the only cast-in-place concrete portion of the structure. The ramp is a one way system and no portion of the hotel is supported above the ramp; the ramp roof is at the mezzanine level. 2. Cantilevered balconies on floors nine through thirteen are not part of the typical gravity frame and need to be analyzed separately. Moment connections are needed for these cantilevered members. 3. Cladding and exterior walls, including glazing system are subjected to lateral loads, particularly wind. 4. Cantilevered front balcony at main entrance on east side of building applies significant moment and torsion to interior connecting members and will require specific design attention. Page 3 of 21

4 5. Foundation system, specifically mat foundations need to be analyzed. Mat foundations require considerably more effort in design than typical spread footings especially when columns loading into mat foundations are subjected to lateral loads. 6. Drifted snow load and roof uplift caused by wind loads apply non-typical loads to roofs which require further design consideration than that of gravity analysis using material weight and superimposed dead and live loads.

7 Snow Loading Snow load calculations follow BOCA 1996 Section 1608 with attention to the 1999 Connecticut Supplement to the code. The hotel s roofs are flat and there are no sloped roofs on the project, therefore no sloped roof calculations need to be performed. Factors and values as per code: Ground snow load: 30 psf Flat roof snow load: 30 psf Snow exposure factor (C e ): 0.7 Snow importance factor (I): 1.0 Flat roof snow load used for drifting calculations (P f = C e IP g ): 21 psf Average drifted snow loads: Penthouse roof to main roof (25 ): P d = 40 psf h d = 1.68 feet w d = 4.5 feet Main roof to 6 th floor roof (86 ): P d = 54.2 psf h d = 3.2 feet w d = 8.9 feet Main roof to loading dock roof (126 ): P d = 59.8 psf h d = 3.8 feet w d = 10.6 feet See Appendix C for calculations. Lateral Soil Load Equivalent lateral fluid pressure as per geotechnical report recommendations: Active condition: 36 psf/ft of depth At rest condition: 56 psf/ft of depth Surcharge coefficient: 0.33 Friction factor: 0.50 Page 7 of 21

8 Wind Loading Wind loading is determined following the requirements of BOCA 1996, Section 1609, as well as data from the 1999 Connecticut Supplement to BOCA. Site-location specific factors governing the design are as follows: 1. Basic wind speed, V: 80 mph 2. Importance factor, I: 1.08 (From Connecticut Supplement) 3. Building Exposure Class: B See Appendix D for calculations and tables. East-West Wind Loading Page 8 of 21

Seismic Loading The seismic design for the hotel follows BOCA 1996 specifications, Section 1610, as well as the 1999 Connecticut Supplement to the BOCA Code. Important site-location determined factors: Seismic performance category: C Seismic hazard exposure group: I Site coefficient/soil-profile type: S=1.0 Effective peak acceleration (A a ): 0.15 Effective peak velocity-related acceleration (A v ): 0.11 Main seismic-resisting system: Concentrically braced steel frames.

Gravity Member Check The gravity member check is accomplished using RAM Steel. A model was built of a typical bay and analyzed as if it were the ninth floor of the building. Exterior Beam in Typical Bay The design of the exterior typical beam produced a smaller member than what is shown on the drawings. The main reason for this discrepancy is due the deflection requirements assumed here compared to those assumed by the design engineer. Generally, it is desirable to limit deflection of members that support exterior cladding to protect cladding from cracking and other problems. Page 11 of 21

12 Interior Beams in Typical Bay Analysis of the interior beams produced nearly identical results to the initial design by the engineer. RAM selected slightly different members but these members were shallower and heavier. Since there is room to use deeper beams it is acceptable to use a lighter W14 in place of a heavier W10 shape. A deeper and lighter shape is typically cheaper and also produces smaller deflections under similar loading. Interior Columns in Typical Bay Similarly to the interior beams, RAM also selected almost identical shapes to the original design. Loading was approximated using an Excel spreadsheet to determine the load transferred to the column supporting floors nine and above. The program selected a W10x39 column, whereas the initial design called for a W12x40. A W12 would be stiffer than the W10. Even though this is not a lateral column, increased stiffness would be beneficial. Backup calculations and result printouts are available upon request. Lateral Member Check To check lateral elements approximate methods and currently known analysis theory is applied. Wind loading in the East-West direction is checked on one of the structure s braced frames with applied loads estimated using relative tributary areas. Frame 1, shown on the following plan, is selected for the design check. Conservatively, it is determined that frame 1 is subjected to 40% of the East-West wind loading. Using STAAD the frame is analyzed. Given the approximate nature of the analysis, it is determined that checking the actual members from the original design would not be as beneficial as analyzing the frame s overall behavior and comparing it to expected behavior. Results from the STAAD analysis show that with the given loading, member sizes would be relatively close to that of the original design. Stresses in the members of the frame are distributed as expected: increasing from top to bottom with the majority of stresses present in the columns and braces. Deflection distribution also follows expectations, as deflections increase going up the frame. Page 12 of 21
