IT IS UNDERSTOOD THAT THIS DESIGN DECISION
MAY CREATE CONSTRUCTION ISSUES, AND
AREAS FOR DELAY. ALTHOUGH THIS DECISION
DOES NOT SIMPLIFY THE AEC’S PROJECT
APPROACH, IT EASES THE MAINTENANCE AND

Structural Breadth Analysis
Method:
• calculate design tolerance & joint gap
• size structural steel members
• tributary area
• load calculation
• locate splices
• design member per AISC Table 4-1
• size spread footings per column case
• model redesign
• export quantities for estimate
Expansion Joint Assembly
Outcome:
• 2 expansion joints per floor
• 2” structural gap
• use W12 x 50 & W12 x 40
• 13’ x 13’ x 30”
