Structural Evaluation Sample Clauses
Structural Evaluation. In addition to the information required for issuance of a permit, a schematic of the vehicle showing all longitudinal and transverse spacings, axle weights and dimensions must be provided at least ten business days before a proposed move when the vehicle’s gross weight exceeds 199,000 pounds so that a structural analysis can be performed. Applicants, whose vehicles have a gross weight of less than 199,000 pounds, will be required to provide a schematic as well when an Engineer of the Office of Maintenance, Bridge Section, determines that a structural analysis is needed.

Structural Evaluation. The primary structural system is composed of a reinforced concrete flat slab first floor and upper floors framed in structural steel rolled sections. The recent additions of a mezzanine between the ground floor and first floor and on infill slab below the skylight are framed in steel open web bar joists. The first floor slab was designed for a superimposed live load of 100 psf. Although flat slab construction is extremely difficult to modify after it is cast, i.e. reinforce for additional loading capacity or add significant vertical penetrations, it is expected that this floor could be a serviceable floor for data center applications. The upper floors were evidently designed for a superimposed loading of 50 psf live load plus 20 psf partition allowance - the code minimum loading for office occupancy. This loading is generally low for a data center application. The floor framing (and columns, if required) could be locally reinforced for specific loading conditions and/or equipment could be placed within the constraints of the system. Flexibility through the life of the building would be restricted unless there was a general reinforcement of the floor to approximately 100 psf. The areas which have been recently added are also evidently designed for the 50+20 psf loading. These floors will be extremely difficult to reinforce and use for occupancy other than general office. Penthouse floor framing is designed for 200 psf which is generally appropriate for a mechanical penthouse.
