5-Story Steel Office Building Framing Design

| I am a Senior in Civil Engineering at North Carolina State University
and as part of our final project we are designing a 5-story steel
office
building. As a requirement of the project we are to research
structural framing plans and I am having trouble finding resources
online. Simple information on column layout or any website references
you know of would be greatly appreciated. To give you an idea of what
our project is like I'll include a little information below:
5-story office building
Max. height of 60'
1st floor min height of 9'-6"
2-5th floor min heigh of 8'-0"
16" min clear for HVAC on each floor.
Therefore there is only approx. 2-4" per floor for girders/beams &
flooring/ceiling.
The building is 172' E-W and 116' N-S with a central stair/elevator
shaft measuring 30' x 40'. As part of the design the N-S frame is to
be designed
as a Moment Frame, and the E-W frame will be a braced frame.
Roof: Bar joists, Steel Decking
Floors: Lightweight concrete, W-Shapes, Steel Decking
Project Description: http://www4.ncsu.edu/~hmbutler/SeniorProject.pdf
Framing Diagram: http://www4.ncsu.edu/~hmbutler/Framing.pdf
Thanks for reading my post and any references or help would be greatly
appreciated, you could even end up as a reference in our final design!
Feel free to ask me any questions if you need to.

Okay...why are you looking for someone to do your homework for you?
You've already gotten plenty of information in alt.architecture from
some very knowledgeable people. It's time for you to expend some
effort. Posting on a newsgroup does not qualify as effort.

| Use the library to look for some books by Francis Ching. He is an architect
and has done a number of books illustrating various structural systems as
well as other aspects of how buildings are put together. When I was a
student I also found calling firms directly and asking if I could study plan
sets helpful. Some will agree.
Finally, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin (for example) there is an archive of local
projects that is kept in the central library which is controlled by some old
farts but is still open to the public but not widely "advertised." Great for
study of older details.Your locale may have the same type of resources. For
example the cities and counties keep drawing sets of many buildings old and
new. Just do windshield surveys around the region to get real examples owhat
has been built that may be similar to the design you need to consider and
delve into those types of resources to study details.
That's the strategy that helped me pass my structural engineering exams for
the A.R.E.

What about writing the answers on the back of your calculator? Or are they
on to that these days...? :-)
