This 372,000 SF single-story structure consists of off-site precast concrete wall panels at the building perimeter to resist lateral forces due to wind and seismic ground motions. The structure also includes a jointless slab on grade and steel framing at the interior and roof, optimized for efficiency and constructability. It includes 12, 100 MW data halls. Risk Cat IV.
Our team engaged a wind consultant to perform a study on multi-row rooftop equipment configurations to understand how equipment spacing and positioning influences shielding effects. By combining ASCE 7-22 with wind tunnel research on blunt body aerodynamics, wind load reduction factors were determined for variable gap distances, which provided a more efficient design for the wind force resisting system and roof diaphragm.
