Our team provided specialized structural engineering design services for an interior renovation project in Fredericksburg, Virginia, focused on a raised floor system and revolving door opening infill.
The scope included the design of a cold-formed metal stud raised floor system constructed over an existing concrete slab, elevating the finished floor by 6 to 12 inches. The design addressed gravity and lateral loads for commercial/assembly use, vibration performance, anchorage to the existing slab, and transitions such as steps, ramps, and edge conditions.
In addition, we performed structural analysis and design for the infill of an existing 8 ft by 8 ft revolving door opening, including new framing, header and jamb reinforcement, and anchorage to the surrounding structure.
Deliverables included a consolidated calculation package suitable for permit and plan-check review, along with detailed structural drawings covering framing plans, sections, transition details, connection details, and material specifications.
This project highlights our expertise in cold-formed steel design, retrofit conditions, and structural coordination within existing buildings.
