26、tacom facilitysystems and the need to resist threats posed by both man and nature. The designermust consider the type of loads the facility will bear, as these will influence thesupporting structure, especially during vibratory events. Loads from datacom equipment, battery or uninterruptible power s

27、upply (UPS)systems, transformers and switchgear, chillers, boilers, large cooling water piping,cooling towers, roof-mounted mechanical units attached to large ductwork, and fireprotection systems and their associated water distribution systems all greatly impactthe design of elevated floor or roof m

28、embers. Architectural finishes such as ceilings,lights, interior lateral wall supports, bearing walls, raised-access floors, large wallopenings, floor slopes, and underground drainage also impact the structural design. Other elements designers must consider are deflection of members and struc-ture d

29、rift, which vary with the type of structure selected. For financial reasons, pre-engineered metal buildings are commonly used. Such buildings are typically framestructures that are relatively flexible and dissipate energy by bending or deforming.This type of structure requires that nonstructural ele

30、ments and systems be designedto accommodate the expected deformations.Buildings utilizing moment-resisting frames (moment frames) for lateral stabil-ity will likely have similar considerations. More rigid structures, such as those thatincorporate shear walls or braced frames, will deflect or drift l

31、ess than a typical pre-engineered or moment frame structure. If reduced levels of deflection and drift canbe predicted, connecting elements from partitions, exterior walls, and attachedequipment will cost less to construct.Seismic and wind requirements vary from location to location and are based on

32、geological data and past damage reports in regions where seismic events haveoccurred. A geological investigation called a site-specific seismic study is commonlycompleted to determine the type of existing soil and the distance from the buildingfoundation to the supporting bedrock. These parameters,

33、in combination with code-prescribed criteria, provide guidance for establishing the percentage of structuremass to be used in the lateral load analysis, sometimes leading to net savings in over-all construction costs. The building design should be as symmetrical as possible to allow seismicforces to

34、 flow more evenly across the structure. Forces induced on an asymmetri-cally shaped building are considerably greater than those on symmetrically shapedStructural and Vibration Guidelines for Datacom Equipment Centers17buildings. Deflections of the asymmetrical structures will also vary and requireg

35、reater study in the interconnections of the nonstructural components. Wind load requirements are based on weather data compiled from sources suchas the National Weather Service. The codes or incorporated standards include mapsand guidance data, but working with the local building department is highl

36、y recom-mended. Although building codes generally allow interpolation between wind speedcontours, some jurisdictions require a set minimum wind speed for the entire juris-diction based on the highest minimum wind speed in that jurisdiction. Wind load considerations are critical for not only the perf

37、ormance of a structureduring wind events but also for the performance of the nonstructural components.Roof uplift and wall anchorage systems as well as equipment tie-downs on the roofare of great importance and must be considered. It should be noted that structures are typically designed based on me

38、eting onlythe minimum code requirements. Further, the codes are written for life safety and notfor the purpose of keeping data center facilities operational during and after a majorstorm.Facilities can be constructed to withstand wind loads from extremely high windforces, such as tornadoes, and wind

39、-borne debris, etc., as shown in Figure 3.1, butthese provisions can be very costly. A cost-benefit analysis should be performed toconfirm the value of storm-resistant design. Such a study should assess structuralupgrades to meet multiple wind-speed conditions (and their associated costs) againstthe

40、 historic statistical probability of the occurrence of those conditions. The ownerof the structure then can make an informed decision on the level of wind-threat resis-tance to be incorporated into the project.Historically, the codes have been prescriptive (cookbook- or recipe-like). Thetrend in cod

41、e content, however, has been toward increasing the complexity andFigure 3.1 Graphical representation of wind loads on a datacomequipment center.18 Building Structures Overviewincluding more requirements. This trend is probably driven by events such as Legion-naires disease outbreaks, New Orleans hur

42、ricane damage, global warming, etc.In addition to becoming more complicated, the codes are gradually migratingtoward performance requirements rather than prescriptive requirements.Appendix A includes details regarding recent code requirements. Especially in older structures, it is quite common that

43、the plans and specifica-tions issued to construct the building are no longer available and therefore the designload capacity of the structure is not known. This can be problematic (and oftencostly) for planned datacom-related retrofits and even for seemingly minor buildinginfrastructure upgrade proj

44、ects. In such cases, a licensed structural engineer shouldreview the structure in the field and determine the load carrying capacity of the exist-ing structural system.When constructing a datacom equipment center in a leased space, considerationshould be paid to the eventual exit strategy from the f

45、acility. Modifications to leasedstructures should be kept to a minimum or designed so as to allow them to beremoved at lease termination without impacting the main structural systems. Pits and trenches can be filled in and free-standing structures can be removed,but when existing walls or other stru

46、ctural elements are modified such that the struc-ture would no longer be sound without the added reinforcement, the modificationsmust remain in place permanently. Therefore, the terms of a lease should be carefullychecked to determine potential consequences prior to making changes to the build-ing s

47、tructure. 3.3 SUBMISSIONS TO AGENCIES Most planning boards and/or building departments require submission ofgeotechnical reports for new buildings or building renovation projects. These reportswill provide information about site preparation and fill placement and compactionas well as recommended par

48、ameters for foundation design.Structural drawing submission requirements to the state or city building codedepartmentsthe local authority having jurisdiction (AHJ)vary throughout thecountry. At minimum, however, all structural drawings will identify the plans andelevations of the steel and/or concre

49、te and interactions with the foundations andupper floor slabs as required. Additionally, the basis of design will need to be iden-tified by building type, occupancy type, construction classification, and importancefactors related to snow, wind, and earthquakes.Typically in high wind areas such as southern Florida or earthquake-prone areassuch as California, a full set of calculations for all structural elements signed andsealed by a licensed pr
