Steel Building Design

Redesigned a multistorey building from timber to steel, optimizing column layout, tributary areas, and member design for efficient gravity load support. Performed shear, moment, and axial design in accordance with the CISC Handbook, selecting W-sections and HSS members to achieve a cost-effective, high-performance structural system.

Design Process

Designed a timber structure featuring CLT flooring and glulam beams and columns, performing gravity load analysis in compliance with CSA O86-19 and NBCC 2015. Beams were optimized for bending and shear, and columns for axial compression, while serviceability limits, particularly deflection control, were incorporated to ensure structural performance. The project highlights efficient use of engineered timber, rigorous structural analysis, and adherence to industry standards.

Determining the Moment Carrying Capacity of the Fox and Barrett Floor System

Evaluated the Fox and Barrett floor system at Parliament Hill using equilibrium-based analysis and modern CISC standards, identifying insufficient moment capacity due to lack of composite action. Proposed retrofit solutions, including W-section joists and stronger concrete, to enhance structural performance.
