This final paper is an encompassing document of the work done for the Penn State AE thesis program over the past academic year. It includes an introduction to the existing systems and then moves into proposed systems to those existing. The project goals were: reduce the overall lateral deflection of the building, reduce the overall construction duration of the superstructure, and maintain competitive structural depths to the existing system. To meet those goals, the proposed lateral system is a SpeedCore shear wall system with a proposed gravity system of Girder-Slab.

Note: While great efforts have been taken to provide accurate and complete information on the pages of CPEP, please be aware that the information contained herewith is considered a work‐in progress for this thesis project. Modifications and changes related to the original building designs and construction methodologies for this senior thesis project are solely the interpretation of Josiah Makay. Changes and discrepancies in no way imply that the original design contained errors or was flawed. Differing assumptions, code references, requirements, and methodologies have been incorporated into this thesis project; therefore, investigation results may vary from the original design.
