Alternate Building Section for review

[dancan]

Hi all,

I am posting my attempt at Sajjad's Alt. Building Section Vignette that I found on the AREForum FTP site. I would appreceate any input you may offer.

The Program is as follows:
The structural system consist of top chord bearing steel joists on masonry bearing walls with continuous concrete spread footings and concrete slab on grade.
1. All ceilings and roofs are flat.
2. Non-bearing corridor and Lobby walls must have a one-hour (minimum) fire-resistive rating.
3. Exterior and bearing walls have a 2-hour (min) fire resistance rating.
4. Ceiling heights: First floor Lobby and corridors: 9'-0''; remaining floor: 9' - 6''. Second floor: 10'-0'' throughout. Meeting Room: 26'-6''.
5. Ceiling spaces must be used as return air plenums.
6. Provide 8” of clearance between the bottom of the ducts and finished ceiling to accommodate light fixtures and the
7. All ducts must be placed below the joists.
8. Parapets must extend 3'-6'' above the surface of decks at roof edges and at changes in the roof deck elevation.
9. The frost depth is 5'-0'' below grade.

Note that my PDF has multiple pages.

Thanks in advance!
