3.7.2.3 Some Tenants have concentrated loads in the form of banks
of files or safes; the designer should inquire as to whether there are
special loads which need to be accommodated in the design.
3.7.3 Lateral Design
3.7.3.1 Seismic lateral loads are determined according to TI 809-04
"Seismic Design for Buildings". A geotechnical engineer should
determine the seismic Site Classification during the site evaluation and
prior to the project feasibility study.
3.7.3.2 Wind lateral loads are determined according to ASCE 7-95
"Minimum Design Loads for Buildings". Basic wind speeds are found
in TI 809-01 "Load Assumptions for Buildings". An Importance
Factor of 1.0 should be applied to the design of training centers.
3.7.3.3 Wind pressures (components and cladding) on roof systems
should be shown on construction documents. Structural should
determine cladding wind pressure values and information could be
shown on architectural roof plans.
3.7.3.4 Provide redundant lateral resisting systems to comply with AT/
FP requirements. Refer to Section 3.7.6 for further information.
3.7.4 Structural Ceiling Grid System: Below the sloped roof, provide
a Ushaped cold-formed channel grid system for ceiling, mechanical/
electrical equipment support and lateral support of nonload-bearing
partition walls. Grid system should be laterally braced for site-specific
seismic conditions. Minimum lateral design load will be 0.25 kPa (5
psf) applied to supported elements.
3.7.5 Wall Elevations
3.7.5.1 Structural wall elevations will be provided in the construction
(drawings) documents. Concrete masonry wall elevations will note the
reinforcing steel, steel or masonry lintels and other pertinent
information. Wall elevations should show dimensions of all
architectural and mechanical wall openings.
3.7.5.2 Structural may consider a key plan (building footprint) for
referencing wall elevations.
