Existing Problems
ACE, Inc.
• Current labs inadequate for science programs
• Space is tight, no room for large experiments
• Clutter due to lack of proper storage space
• Biology water supply & electrical outlets no longer function
• Fume hood in chemistry lab no longer functional
• No air conditioning in the physics laboratory
• NEED FOR EXPANSION OF SPACE

Structural Goals
ACE, Inc.
• Provide Father Judge High School with a
functional, economical, and safe
arrangement of lab and classroom spaces
• Must be able to adapt to changing
technologies and modes of science education
20
Load Development
ACE, Inc.
• Live Loads = 40 psf to 250 psf
(IBC 2006)
• Point Loads = 0 to 3,000 lbs
(IBC 2006)
• Earthquake Load Total Base Shear = ~150 kips
(IBC 2006)
• Total Wind Load = ~30 kips
(ASCE 7 – Chapter 6)
21
Structural Program
ACE, Inc.
• Created to help define the goals
• Predicts challenges of the structural design
for architecture of proposed building
• Calculates the total load the building will face
• Gives a rough estimate of appropriate member sizes
• A HEAD START ON WINTER TERM DESIGN
22
Program Output
ACE, Inc.
• Total Factored Load = ~3,000 kips
• Assuming a conservative deflection requirement
of L/360 (IBC 2006):
• Largest moment of inertia (if steel) = 4,000 in4
• Spanning the proposed multi-class lecture hall
(~50’ bay size) will likely require a small truss system
23
Systems Alternatives
• Bearing Wall
• Steel Frame
• Concrete Frame

* FINAL SYSTEM WILL
LIKELY BE SOME
