DESIGN OF 12-STOREY “PARKVIEW” HOTEL IN SAN FRANCISCO, USA

Abstract

The project proposes the design of a 12-storey “Park-View” hotel located at 2550 Irving Street in San Francisco, USA. The main design considerations are seismicity hazard and wind load. Geotechnical design focused on conducting a comparison of pile types and finalizing a foundation layout featuring three different pile groups to accommodate varying column loads. Construction management is mainly focused on the analysis of cost-benefit, quality assessment, construction site layout and achieving a shorter payback period.
