SCI P166: Design of Steel Framed Buildings for Service Integration

Author: P D McKenna, R M Lawson | Size: 20.7 MB | Format: PDF | Publisher: SCI | Year: 1997 | pages: 140 | ISBN: 1859420478

This publication summarises an investigation of the design of structural systems in modern commercial buildings which offer the facility for integration of the structure and building services within the same floor zone. Firstly, the publication reviews the general requirements for building services, particularly air-conditioning systems. Secondly, structural systems, utilising the principles of composite construction, are designed for spans of 15 m. Thirdly, the distribution of air-conditioning ducts throughout these buildings is established with respect to the structural systems considered in the investigation. Finally, general estimates of construction costs are made which take into account the influence of the costs of service distribution and other variable aspects of the construction. The publication contains information on the structural design of the long span systems and includes examples of service drawings showing the distribution of the majors ervices with respect to the structure and building frames considered. It concludes that the additional costs in choosing long span systems offering integration of structure and services may only be 0.1 to 2% of the total building cost in comparison to structures based on traditional span of 6 to 7.5 m.
