Construction Completed
Lead Structural Engineer: Moore Associates
Employer: Pustola & Associates
This was a residential addition to the client's home. They requested a totally vaulted ceiling that also had an opening at the peak for a cupola. This could not be achieved by conventional wood framing, so a steel moment frame structure was used because of the open nature of the structure.
Around the main central portion of the addition, moment frames that consisted of the main corner columns welded to the incoming valleys of the rooftop were designed to withstand the torsion generated from region's lateral loads. These were then framed around by conventional wood framing and hidden within the walls of the addition.
This was a project I did under the employment of Pustola and Associates and by hire from Moore Associates.
