7-Story, 10th Ave Flats

Project Details

This 7-story apartment building, including a basement, is constructed using a combination of cold-formed steel frames and a reinforced concrete core wall. The structural design incorporates cold-formed steel for the framing system, providing an efficient and lightweight solution that ensures stability and flexibility across the building’s vertical and horizontal elements. This framing system allows for faster construction while maintaining structural integrity under load.

The reinforced concrete core wall serves as the primary structural element for lateral load resistance, providing stability against wind and seismic forces. The core also houses vertical circulation elements, including elevators and stairwells, ensuring safe and efficient movement within the building.

The basement is designed with reinforced concrete walls and slabs, optimized for both structural support and protection against moisture infiltration. The foundation system is designed to distribute loads evenly, ensuring the building’s long-term stability and safety.

The building is engineered to meet all relevant local building codes and standards, with careful consideration given to load-bearing capacities, durability, and the performance of materials used in both the framing and core wall construction.
