1. INTRODUCTION

Mr. Bill Wilson sought the assistance to conduct a Design review for the Transportation facility
of North Kitsap District. This report is to elaborate the findings of review and to provide
recommendations. Design was reviewed according to euro code standards. Necessary
material details and design loads were extracted from the provided structural drawings. Design
was reviewed for the base bid.

2.0 SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES

Our scope is to conduct a structural elements review for the above transportation facility.
Objectives are mentioned below.

1. Developing 3D model from Finite Element Software

2.Structural drawings Review
3.Reviewing material properties and loads
4.Section Capacity Review
5.Reinforcement Detailing review
6.Conclusions and Recommendations

3.0 PRELIMINARIES
Loads were extracted from the given structural drawings and summary of loads are
mentioned in Table .

Wind Loads
Wind speed was considered as 80 mph with the exposure class B(These are wind speeds
that are expected to occur once in 50 years.. For Eurocode this can be converted to 22 m/s
(10 min wind speed) and the Global Structure was analyzed for the above wind speed.

Wind Analysis to Main Building

Basic values

Wind speed velocity vb,map = 22.0 m/s

Altitude factor; calt = 1.072
Fundamental basic wind velocity; vb,0 = vb,map  calt = 23.6 m/s
Direction factor; cdir = 1.00
Season factor; cseason = 1.00
Shape parameter K; K = 0.2
Exponent n; n = 0.5
Probability factor; cprob = [(1 - K  ln(-ln(1-p)))/(1 - K  ln(-ln(0.98)))]n = 1.00
Basic wind velocity (Exp. 4.1); vb = cdir  cseason  vb,0  cprob = 23.6 m/s
Reference mean velocity pressure; qb = 0.5    vb2 = 0.341 kN/m2

Roof load case 4 - Wind 0, cpi 0.20, + cpe
Total vertical net force; Fw,v = -41.44 kN
Total horizontal net force;
Fw,h = -11.10 kN

Wall load case 3 - Wind 0, cpi 0.20, - cpe

Equiv leeward net force for overall section; Fl = Fw,wE = -2212.0 kN
Net windward force for overall section; Fw = Fw,wD = 1371.1 kN
Overall loading overall section; Fw,D = 2915.2 kN

Wall load case 4 - Wind 0, cpi 0.20, + cpe

Equiv leeward net force for overall section; Fl = Fw,wE = -2212.0 kN
Net windward force for overall section; Fw = Fw,wD = 1371.1 kN
Overall loading overall section; Fw,D = 3184.2 kN

Loading Combinations

Total Dead Load (DL) was calculated from the sum of self-weight of element and
corresponding superimposed loads. Live load (LL) was calculated with corresponding live load
value. Ultimate Loading Combination According to Australian code was taken as follows.

Ultimate Limit State Load Combination : 1.2 DL+1.5 LL

Serviceability Limit State Load Combination: 1.0DL + 1.0 LL
