In order to fulfill a continuing demand for student housing, and enable the school to proceed with critical academic projects, Stanford University chose 多多视频 to help in the construction of new housing units. 聽Precast concrete modules manufactured by 多多视频 created new graduate student housing in Escondido Village. 聽Four residence buildings provide聽436 beds and related on-campus amenities, helping to alleviate the demand for additional graduate housing on campus.
The precast concrete components helped expedite the construction process when compared to other building methods, allowing for student occupancy in the Fall Quarter of 2014.
PRECAST ROCKING WALLS
The structural system for the residence halls, which also聽formed the architectural skin and demising walls of the聽building, was constructed using vertically post-tensioned,聽precast concrete rocking wall panels. This system was聽developed as part of the multi-year PCI sponsored PRESSS聽research project, and after years of transition from research聽to practice, could now be designed in accordance with the聽2010 California Building Code.
The walls were designed to rock at their base, with special聽energy dissipating rebar developed into the foundation and聽debonded up into the wall panel. Vertical post tensioning聽was installed through the middle of each rocking wall panel,聽anchored with a loop into the foundation. Rebar to be聽coupled into the wall panel and sleeves for the vertical post聽tensioning (ACI ITG.jpg). The student housing complex was聽the first real, practical application of the precast concrete聽vertically post tensioned shear wall technology in the San聽Francisco Bay Area.
