I <br /> I &i ETES <br /> iso <br /> IDESIGN <br /> I The next step inourmethodology is the actual design which includes the elements reviewed and <br /> developed during the initial strategizing. This step is the most technical since it involves the <br /> maximum use of our engineering skills and the use <br /> I <br /> I. /.s of our cutting edge tools for an optimal design <br /> \ _ l� <br /> -�- The entire process of structural planning and design <br /> ® 0a u /� <br /> I <br /> F4t r- o requires not only imagination and conceptual <br /> thinking but also sound knowledge of practical <br /> oelm@ a, aspects. such as recent design codes and statutes, <br /> I <br /> li a! 1 b k <br /> F� r.,....._ backed up by ample experience, intuition and <br /> ®'� -�! 2i•_•ieengineering judgment. <br /> m�� <br /> 1 It is emphasized that any structure to be constructed <br /> must satisfy the need for efficiency for which it is intended and shall be durable for its desired life <br /> Ispan. Thus, the design of any structure is categorized into following two main types: <br /> 1. Functional design <br /> I2. Structural design <br /> FUNCTIONAL DESIGN: The structure to be constructed should primarily serve the basic purpose for <br /> Iwhich it is to be used and must have a pleasing look. <br /> The building should provide a pleasing environment inside as well as outside. Therefore, the <br /> I functional planning of a structure must take into account the proper arrangements of the structural <br /> elements to satisfy the need of the client, good ventilation, lighting, acoustics, and unobstructed view <br /> in the case of inhabited spaces. <br /> ISTRUCTURAL DESIGN: Once the form of the structure is selected, the structural design process <br /> starts. Structural design is an art and science of understanding the behavior of structural members <br /> I subjected to loads and designing them with economy and elegance to give a safe. serviceable and <br /> durable structure. <br /> IStages of Structural Design - The process of structural design involves the following stages: <br /> I. Structural planning. <br /> I 2. Action of forces and computation of loads. <br /> 3. Methods of analysis. <br /> 4. Member design. <br /> I5. Detailing, Drawing and Preparation of schedules. <br /> ' CITY OF SUNNY ISLES BEACH <br /> RFQ No. 12-0402 <br />
