Project Engineer
Yale University Central Power Plant, Connecticut
This is Boiler Expansion as a part of one of the two additions on the north side of Central Power Plant at Yale University, Connecticut. Plan dimension is about 55ft wide by 80 ft long. This is a five level steel structure accommodating various delicate equipments such as transformers, boilers, economizers and brine tank. Special performance criteria were considered for such equipment such as low deflections and low vibrations by adding damping mass. Intermediate steel moment frames in one direction while masonry shear walls in the orthogonal direction act as lateral resisting system for the structure. The foundation was designed to be spread footing.
Ohio State University Hospital Utility Tunnel, Ohio
The tunnel is a 1000 ft long utility tunnel carrying steam, chilled water and condensate lines to OSU hospital from the utility plant in the campus. The tunnel was designed for seismic loads based on Mononobe-Okabe equation per AASHTO LRFD code. Steel supports for pipe anchors were designed for additional seismic bracing per Chapter 13 ASCE 7-05 as the occupancy category is IV with seismic design category C. Limit stops, guides and slides were also designed. The anchorage to the concrete walls and base were designed and detailed elaborately.

Design Engineer III
Memphis Airport Toll Office Building
This is a two level toll office building designed for Memphis airport project. This is a steel structure on concrete spread footings. Due to high seismicity with a seismic design category D, special moment frames were designed as lateral resisting frames in both orthogonal directions. Special attention to seismic detailing was given and prequalified connection details were provided. The floor was checked for vibrations. The AISC seismic provisions were duly applied for this project.
St. Louis Galleria Expansion, St. Louis, Missouri
This is an expansion to the existing St. Louis Galleria Parking facility in St. Louis, Missouri. This is a four level post tensioned concrete structure. The expansion is a 300 car garage. The structural sizes had to match with the existing structure. The underground culvert at the expansion site posed difficult problems to the framing and orientation of the expansion. Hence a skewed structure was conceived by the architects which created plan irregularities and vertical irregularities. This is located in a seismic design category ‘C’. Intermediate mom...
