Vertical Load Carrying System | Concrete fill over steel deck supported by steel beams and columns. The structure is supported on triple friction pendulum bearings. |
Lateral Force Resisting System | Intermediate moment resisting steel frames at perimeter and interior locations at each level. Concrete shear walls at Basement 2 level. Isolation at the base using 115 triple friction pendulum bearings. |
Foundation Type | 4' thick concrete mat foundation; mat is thickened to 6' at the elevator shaft. Concrete mat is sloped in some areas and has pedestals to support the bearings. |
Remarks | Structural design is based on the 2007 California Building Code. Funding for instrumentation was provided by the owner as required by OSHPD. CSMIP provided assistance in instrumentation. |
