PROJECT SUMMARY:

ASDi provided the structural engineering for a new two-story classroom building on the campus of Monache High School in Porterville, CA.  The building is constructed of structural steel framing with a concrete-topped second floor deck.  The lateral system consists of steel, ordinary concentric braced frames (OCBF) oriented in two-story “X” configuration.  Being an existing campus, the architectural design had to match the style of the original buildings.  This proved to be a challenge because the new classroom is much larger than the original buildings and is the only two-story building on campus.  ASDi was able to deliver a structural design that allowed for many of the original campus design features to be incorporated, including the large roof-mounted mechanical screens.
