1 13-08 Dome venting- 5th floor walkway structural capacity Analyzed File: Walkway framing section from iam Autodesk Inventor Version: 2012 SP2 (Build , 219) Creation Date: Simulation Author: Summary: 7/30/2013, 4:25 PM S.Bauman A Structural Analysis of the 5th floor walkway to determine load capacity. Request from outside vendor performing contract work to use man-lift on walkway platform for installation and assembly of dome vent units. Reference drawings: The drawing below gives dimensions for the location of the elevation 13,784 73/4, the individual segments that make up the walkway, and specifics on structural members. The designed live load defined in the drawing is 100PSF.

3 Figure 1: _CFHT Dome walkway framing section and details by SNC After verifying the drawing above with the as built configuration and construction of the dome inconsistencies were found. The callouts for the structural members that make up each walkway segment were incorrect, C4 x 5.4 TYP underlined in yellow below, was not used for the construction of the walkway. How the as-built details differ from the drawing will be identified below in actual photos, the remaining details in figure 2 below seem consistent.

4 Figure 2: Close-up view of walkway framing plan Section B-B enlarged from the above drawing: The section below shows a detail of the 5 th floor walkway. Each segment is arrayed around the inside of the dome at 7.5 degrees (typical).

6 Figure 3: Section B-B After verifying the drawings above with the as built configuration and construction of the dome the following inconsistencies were found. In Figure 5 below one can see that the support beams for the walkway are W4 x 13 not C4 x 5.4 TYP as identified in the drawings. W4 x 13 Figure 4: Walkway main support beam, W4 X 13 (typical) The member highlighted below in yellow shows a support for the walkway. It is welded at an angle from the bottom of the W4 x 13 wide flange beam to the vertical rib member of the dome skeletal structure. The callout in the drawing is incorrect, instead a hollow tube, indentified in the yellow highlighted oval, shows the 2 STD pipe with.158 wall thickness, instead of the called out L 2 ½ x 2 ½ x ¼ angle bar.

7 Figure 5: Section A-A and detail 7, 8, 9 The support beam that spans the width of the platform segment between the Wide flange beams is a L4 x 4 x ¼ L angle and not a C4 x 5.4 TYP as depicted in the drawing. There also is not a structural beam at the termination of the platform where the railing is located.

8 L4 x 4 x ¼ 2 STD round tube,.158 wall Figure 4: Walkway plate support beam, L4 X 4 X 1/4 (typical) The photo below shows the ¼ steel checkered plate which is positioned on top of the wide flange beams, not show in the drawing is the 4 lip (toe kicks) on each side of the walkway plate. There is not s C4 x 5.4 beam positioned between the wide flange beams.

The load below is the worst case where the lift is placed on two portions of the walkway, directly at the center of the segment where the most bending and deflection takes place due to the load of the lift. The details for the JLG 1930ES lift can be found in the appendix. The following information was used for the analysis: JLG 1930ES weight: Lbs Personal weight (max platform weight capacity): 500lbs Total weight of lift: 3, Load per wheel: 812.4lbs Wheel size: 12.5 O.D. x 4 wide
