PROJECT SUMMARY:

ASDi provided the structural engineering for a new two-story classroom building on the campus of Porterville 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.  Among the unique design features of this project are the brick-veneered box columns which add visual appeal to the structure, and exposed structural bracing.  Further, the sloped roof provided provides a clean look but adds complexity to the structure due to the added height at the ridge.  ASDi delivered a structure able to both display and add to the architectural design.
