Fighter Combat International

 

Size:  23,000 sq.ft.

Materials:  Roof:  Steel joist and deck.  Floor:  Steel joist and composite deck (steel and concrete).

Scope:  Roof and floor structures.  Metal stud fascias.

Structural Design:  The Structures Group

Unique Features:  The architect desired a "wing" cross section for the roof structure.  We worked with the joist manufacturer to provide a solution consisting of hanger joists with spans greater than 100 ft., in line with office joists with top chords having two different radii.  This is the first known use of a 2 radius joist by a nation-wide joist manufacturer.
