11 STORIES
Located in Vancouver, Washington, Riverview Tower is one of downtown’s largest office buildings. Originally called First Interstate Tower, this 11-story mixed-use cast-in-place concrete structure includes office, retail, apartments and parking.
In addition to a structural system compatible with the numerous uses of the building, CKC designed a lateral load resisting system utilizing slab/column frames which eliminated the need for shear walls.
By carefully detailing connections between the concrete columns and floor slabs, CKC captured the rigidity of the slab/column joints to resist lateral seismic and wind forces. This system resulted in major cost savings for the structural frame.
