| Structural Design of Two-Story Office Building
The Regal Business Center is a 14,800 sq. ft. two-story wood-framed office building. It is rectangular in shape with one 8'x32' extension at the building lobby and another 8'x32' extension on the south-east face.
The building was constructed utilizing a wood trussed roof system supported by wood beams and interior steel columns, a slab on grade at the ground floor, and a gypcrete over plywood floor diaphragm supported by wood I-joists and glu-lam beams at the second floor. The lateral load resisting system of the building was constructed using conventional plywood shearwalls.
