This presentation will break down the main steps to perform a lateral analysis using software: creating the model, analyzing, verifying results, and designing the lateral resisting frame. We will focus on how to uphold the integrity of a structural model through accurate representation of the real structure, analyzing, reviewing results, and providing safe and reliable designs for building owners and occupants.  It is necessary to understand the capabilities, limitations, and options for modeling lateral elements and the differences between software programs.  Often engineers make mistakes, assuming all Finite Element (FE) programs have the same capabilities and limitations. In reality, all FE programs are different and require a learning curve to grasp the differences.  This presentation is based on the Structure Magazine articles titled Lateral Analysis Part 1, featured July 2017, and Lateral Analysis Part 2, featured August 2017. 


Ahmad Abdelrazaq  is Senior Executive Vice President at Samsung C & T Corporation, Seoul, Korea. During his tenure there, Mr. Abdelrazaq held several major technical and management positions, including consolidating/developing/strengthening highrise building division with diversified business models domestically and globally that led into multi-billion dollar contracts. Among many projects at Samsung, Mr. Abdelrazaq has been involved in all aspects of construction planning, pre-construction services, and structural design of the Burj Khalifa, Jumeriah Gardens in Dubai, Samsung HQ, Seoul, the 151-story Incheon Tower, and the Yongsan Landmark Tower in Seoul. Presently, Mr Abdelrazaq is involved in the design and construction of several mixed-use highrise and complex building projects in Asia and the Middle East. Prior to joining Samsung, Mr. Abdelrazaq was Associate Partner with Skidmore Owings and Merrill in Chicago. Mr. Abdelrazaq serves also as a lecturer at Seoul National University, and is an investigator in a National Science Foundation-sponsored project with the University of Notre Dame, The University of Western Ontario/ Boundary Layer Wind Tunnel Laboratory and SOM that seeks to improve correlations between actual wind load responses of tall buildings and those predicted by computer models and wind tunnel studies. He earned his B.S. and M.S. in Civil Engineering from the University of Texas at Austin. 

The 151-story super high-rise Incheon Tower is located in an area of reclaimed land constructed over soft marine clay in Songdo, Korea. This presentation will focus on 1) the structural engineering techniques utilized to optimize the structural and foundation systems of the tower, 2) the different floor framing system considered, 3) the wind engineering approach to tame the wind behavior of the tower to reduce the overall wind forces and to tame the dynamic response of the tower, 4) a description of an additional reliable damping system that is well integrated with the structural and the architectural design concepts to improve the tower overall behavior under service and extreme lateral load conditions, 5) and finally describe the impact of foundation flexibility on the overall behavior of the tower, through soil structure interaction.  The introduction of the damped mega-frame structural system for the 151 story Inchon will be a catalyst in utilizing the latest Damping systems and technologies for a “New Generation of Tall Building System."

Glass is used as a structural material in many notable applications around the world. The appeal of a virtually invisible structure is hard to deny. However, the analysis of glass is far from simple. An engineer must consider the type of glass, the method of its manufacture, temperatures, interlayers, coatings, connections to other materials, and fabrication limitations. Add to this the lack of specific code procedure and education at most engineering programs, it can be a bit of a black hole. Attendees will learn about the types of glass, interlayers, use of structural silicone vs. fittings, ASTM E1300 and its limitations, Chicago Building Code's stance on structural glass, and the risks of using such a material or designing it improperly.

The recent revitalization and expansion of the Midtown Athletic Club at the intersection of Fullerton, Damen, and Elston Avenue in Chicago has proved to be an intricate compilation of different structural challenges. Over 150,000 square feet has been added to the existing indoor tennis facility. Early stages of program-planning and coordination with the Chicago Department of Transportation, patron use, and long term expansion had to be accounted for from the start. Initially, the expansion intent was purely for club functions.  During the foundation permit submittal, a two story hotel with a roof deck was added above the space. This hotel overhung the existing tennis court buildings and we were also tasked with retaining much of the column locations for the lower levels.  The architectural program demanded several different types of space, each with different demands for performance, serviceability, and detailing. The fitness areas required stiff floors, group exercise rooms and the indoor pool required open spans, the intensive green roof with a pool required high load capacity and durability. The revamped health club aimed to change the game for resorts and fitness facilities in Chicago, and the design of an innovative program on the unique site provided several challenges to be met within the structural design of the building.

A rope net sculpture was developed for the Sunset La Cienega project in West Hollywood, CA. The sculpture was designed in collaboration with artist Janet Echelman and spans the two towers of the development. The sculpture is articulated into four levels of structural net layers and several sculptural nets made of fishing net-type material hanging from the structural layers. The structural design of the sculpture presented several challenges from the analytical and material points of view. The design process required form finding of the structural rope net layers followed by dimensioning of the rope elements. Rope structure materials are highly non-linear due to their construction and are relatively soft compared to traditional structural materials. This presentation describes these challenges and the most important aspects in the design of the rope net sculpture.

The Chicago Freight Tunnels consist of 60 miles of tunnels 40 feet underground and are one of the most extensive and unique tunnels in Chicago’s central business district. Dug between 1899 and 1906, the tunnels were initially used to hide many miles of telephone and telegraph cable but were chiefly used to carry small freight trains to deliver mail and packages, and to ship coal and coal ash to and from the coal-burning furnaces of the time. Due to a construction accident in April 1992, the tunnels flooded causing extensive damage. The tunnels have been inspected on a much more frequent basis with thorough annual inspections and quarterly checkups.
