Construction Period 03/2015 - 02/2017
The first phase of the United Methodist Church of the Resurrection
project involves construction of a new 140,000 sq. ft. structure. The
main sanctuary is surrounded by seven “sails” and full-height glazing
highlighting the 3,500 sq. ft. art glass wall. The building plan is based on
several ellipses forming the geometrical basis
for the sloped walls and
structural framing.
Several SCIA Engineer models were used to analyze and design various
components and structural systems. The “lateral” model contained the
necessary elements and loading required to analyze the building for
lateral loads. SCIA Engineer’s ability to easily copy and paste data into the
data tables was used extensively to input the design wind load pressures
for the
many possible wind cases
. The “balcony” model contained
components necessary to perform a
dynamic analysis
to verify that
vibration serviceability requirements were met in addition to code-based
strength limits.
Parameterizing the roof truss depth
enabled us to
quickly optimize the roof truss design at early design stages.
The elliptical grid layout, sloped walls, sloped roof and overall building
shape created several design challenges. SCIA Engineer’s broad
functionality allowed for effective analyzes and designs of a
complex
structural shape
