2.  The purpose of the project was to evaluate the consolidation of two elementary
schools in the area of Elkview, West Virginia
 Stemmed from the aftermath of the historic flood that took place in central to southern
West Virginia during June 2016
 Alternative to the cost of rehabilitation of the existing schools in the area

3.  Pertinent for the relief efforts to recover from the floods
 Initially may cost more to build the proposed school, but would be cheaper in the
future
 Rather than pay the costs to restore the existing infrastructure and pay for
maintenance of several different school buildings, there would be one cost
 The proposed project is outside of the flood plain, unlike the existing schools

4.  Currently, there are no other alternatives that are generally available to the public yet
 In the future, there will be other alternatives to be explored as the project progresses

5.  The proposed project has a site location that is not inhabited by anything other than
the forest
 There would be a school building located where there was once a wooded area
alongside the highway

6.  One centralized location for an elementary school
 It will be easily accessible
 Out of the flood plain, so no worry about future flood catastrophe
 Reduced maintenance costs by only having one building
 The community would have a sense of relief from safe school building for their child’s
education for years to come

7.  Project was designed using generally accepted practices in regards to Civil
Engineering standards
 All necessary calculations were completed for the following aspects:
 Structural Integrity
 Hydraulics/Hydrology
 Geotechnical
 Geometric Roadway Design

8.  Projected Project School Building Layout
 Design of Frames
 Check Adequacy of Members

10.  Calculated all necessary loads needed for the project
 Dead, Live, Snow, Wind
 Adhered to ASCE 7-10
 Wind Pressures were determined using the directional procedure as outlined in ASCE
7-10

11. Wind pressures were calculated in a
spreadsheet that I created

12.  The building was purposely designed symmetrically in a series of 30’ by 30’ bays
 Moment Frame
 Runs in N-S Direction
 Braced Frame
 Runs in E-W Direction

16. Beams: W12x22
Girders: W14x74
Columns: W10x33

17. Using tributary areas,
distributive loads were
calculated for the beams,
girders, and columns.
The loads were used for
SAP2000 analysis

18. Before modeling in
SAP2000, the beams
were checked for
deflection.
This resulted in the
W12x22 being
inadequate.

25.  Soil properties were obtained from the USDA soil survey website
 The foundation for the building were designed using the GEO5 computer software
