Vertical Load Carrying System | Steel roof framing supported on triple friction pendulum isolators at the top of precast post-tensioned concrete blade columns. |
Lateral Force Resisting System | Triple friction pendulum isolators at the top of concrete blade columns which bear on pile caps. The pile caps are braced laterally by concrete grade struts with large anchors at the ends. |
Foundation Type | Reinforced concrete pile caps supported by concrete piles which are isolated from the surrounding soil and bear on concrete footings. |
Remarks | Structural design was based on the 2013 California Building Code. The instrumentation was paid for by the owner. CSMIP provided technical specifications and assistance. |
