Dear Dr. Schafran:

We are proud to submit this preliminary engineering report in response to ODU’s Master Plan for
the new Sciences Building. We are honored to have worked alongside not just each other, but also
local engineers, professors, ODU faculty, and yourself in order to create a high quality end product
for our client; ODU and future science students.

We share ODU’s goal of maximizing physical development, enhancing green space, encouraging
potential science students to attend, and enriching the community. We are a very well-rounded
team of students that cover just about every aspect of civil and environmental engineering. Along
with valuable input from the local firms and architect we offer our best designs and considerations
in order to meet our clients’ needs.

We appreciate this opportunity to work alongside each other, as well as professionals outside and
inside of ODU. Most of our classes in this curriculum do not offer this sort of active design and
learning process. It has helped us realize the struggles and necessities outside of the classroom
environment, which is essential to our growth.

Please let us know if you have any questions.

Respectfully Sunmitted,
Beach Consultants

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Introduction
After the selection of one of the five design projects introduced to us by Professor Schafran, the
members of the team decided on go away from the traditional hierarchy organizational structure.
Instead, the team is divided in committees; each group member is responsible for each of the
committees. The project manager and assistant project manager are communication facilitators
among group members, the class instructor, Professor Schafran, and the project coordinator, Mr.
John Stronach.
The group is structured in eight major subdivisions, the first one being cost-analysis. Kimberly
Joyward is the leader for that subdivision as well as the assistant project manager. Chris
Cummings is responsible for any LEED recommendations. Joshua Sgambelluri is the project
manager, he will also assist Mr. Cummings with any LEED recommendations and he will also
develop an Environmental Impact Statement. Rakim Yarbrough will lead any transportation and
pedestrian traffic recommendations. Mansour Azzaz will develop the architectural and landscape
design. Joe Beauchamp and Avial Lumagi will work closely with Mr. Azzaz with the structural
design. Juliana dos Santos will be the leader for geotechnical data analysis and foundation design
working with both the structural and architectural chairs. All of the topics will be discussed as a
group but the idea of the work load division is to have one individual responsible and
accountable for each of the engineering aspects of the building.

Background
Old Dominion University is located at Norfolk, VA, a historic city. For over 400 years, Norfolk
has been of considerably historical importance. With the largest naval base in the worlds,
Norfolk was also part of the birth of the US. Old Dominion University has been growing for the
past 82 years. Originally under the College of William and Mary, Old Dominion University was
granted independent in 1962 as a four-year institution.
The Alfriend Chemistry Building is the only chemistry building on campus. It is 52 years old,
lacks natural lighting, lacks enough lab space, lacks office space, and lacks any leisure space. We
were given a tour of this building by Ms. Alicia Herr and Dr. Cooper of the Chemistry
Department. They had mentioned the issues above as well as the facts that there are not enough
fume hoods and research space.
Dr. Daines is the chair of the Biology Department at ODU. She had mentioned that they
currently share the building with the Psychology Department. Biology and Psychology are two
of the largest disciplines on campus and they are sharing a building roughly the same size as the
Alfriend Chemistry Building. She had also mentioned that they, too, lack office, lab, leisure, and
research space.

Abstract

Page 1 of 73
ODU Chemistry and Biology Building
Preliminary Engineering Report
Apr 24, 2017
In order to design a structurally sound and aesthetically pleasing university building a large
number of factors must be taken into account. These factors include the interior and exterior
material aesthetics, the type of structure and what loadings it will undergo, the soil classification
underneath the site, the types of services that will be accessed to this building, the water flow
throughout the building, the energy consumption of this energy intensive building, and how
much the building finally costs. The paper will discuss major goals and obstacles in each section
of the body and further elaborate as to why these choices were made.

Conclusions
There was an immense difficulty in resolving how to make these two large science departments
share a space. The tenants both require large amounts of lab space. As will be seen, some of the
space allocations can be maximized. The space that we have designed provided a warming
atmosphere, comfortable learning environment, and reasonable means of access to the building.
It was difficult to get 100% accurate foundational data due to the given boring locations which
will be discussed. The building managed to reach a LEED Gold Certification.

Recommendations
In complete honesty, we recommend that these two departments do not share the same building.
The space that they demand is much higher than the space currently provided under the budget.
We recommend that the current preliminary design be maximized in terms of space allocation.
Given more time we would be able to do this. These two departments are also heavily energy
intensive, making it hard to realistically achieve the LEED Gold Standard that we had designed
for.

Site Analysis
The site is on Lot 23 off of Elkhorn Avenue. The site is currently a parking lot. A site analysis of
adjacent structures needed to be taken into account.
Adjacent Structures
On the east side is the Oceanography and Physics Building on the east side of Elkhorn
Avenue. On the south side, there is a detention pond. On the west side is a service road
(Parker Road), the ODU Wrestling Building, and Chilled Water Towers. As can be seen
from on Figure 1 on the next page, the lot is also straight across from the baseball field.
For more detailed pictures of surroundings, refer to the Appendix section.

Project Scope of Work


The new ODU Sciences Building serve as the new chemistry and biology facility, as well as a
planetarium. The building will be located on Lot 23 along Elkhorn Dr. adjacent to the ODU
Wrestling Facility. The project scope of work shall include analysis of raw data, a preliminary
engineering report consisting of architectural, structural, geotechnical, environmental,
transportation design, as well as construction and budgetary considerations.

Architectural Design
A.1. Introduction
A.1.1. Goals
The goal of the Architectural design was to provide Old Dominion University with an up-
to-date science building that will house the Chemistry and Biology’s research
laboratories, associated support functions, offices, classrooms, and a new planetarium.
The building should encourage potential future science students to attend the ODU
Chemistry and/or Biology programs. The building should also be aesthetically pleasing
due to other tours and students walking from the entrance to the planetarium. The
laboratories will be constructed in an open plan to allow for better collaboration,
increased flexibility, space utilization and better management than what can be achieved
in the existing building. The classrooms will be designed as to promote an open space
and a comfortable learning environment. We would also like incorporate a coffee shop
similar in style to the one in BAL. The proposed site of the new building is located on
Lot 23 along Elkhorn Avenue.

A.1.2. Objectives

The architectural design should:


 Comply with the ODU Master Plan.
 Encourage potential students to join the Chemistry or Biology programs.
 Provide a comfortable learning environment for students.
 Be aesthetically pleasing.
 Provide sufficient laboratory, classroom, and research space.

A.2. Identification of Options to Address


A.2.1. Considerations
 Floor Layout and Room Allocations
 Aesthetics of interior and exterior

A.3.2. Planetarium Location
The placement of the planetarium was a complicated decision. We had to consider that it
operates during different hours than the Chemistry/Biology Building itself. This takes
into account the issue of security in terms of unauthorized personnel wandering around
the building during Planetarium office hours. This poses a safety problem due to the
amount of hazardous chemicals and equipment in many of the various rooms in the
building.
For those that are going to an event at the Planetarium, will they be able to see the
aesthetic characteristics of the interior of the building? This aspect is crucial to encourage
potential students to attend ODU, which in turn potentially increases the odds of more
researchers at the university, which is what helps fund ODU and give it more scientific
credibility.
We had considered placing the planetarium on the roof of the building, with a glass
ceiling to look at the stars, along with a walkway from the roof-elevator to the
planetarium through the green roof. The problem with this would be the issue of light
pollution in Norfolk as well as the fact security hazardous. For this scenario we would
need to add a separate elevator that can be accessed during different hours of operation
than the main building.
We decided to put the planetarium on the south side of the building as shown on Figure 7.

NORTH

Figure 7 – Planetarium Location

Having it on the first floor prevents any guided access to the upper floors where most of
the labs and stock rooms are located, which in turn helps with the problem of safety. It
also allows tours and groups to walk from the front and through the hallway, allowing
them to see all of the lecture rooms, labs, and aesthetic features discussed in C-4.

A.3.3. Aesthetics
A.3.3.1. Interior
The main part of the aesthetics of the interior is to provide a comfortable learning
environment and to encourage tours and potential students. Using ODU, George
Washington University, and Eastern Michigan University as references a few ideas
were developed for the design of the interior. GWU was taken for reference due to its
interior aesthetics, EMU was taken for reference due to the fact that they have an
internally located planetarium, and ODU was taken for reference to keep the same
theme of the aesthetic look on campus, both interior and exterior.

GWU incorporates a very spacious and pleasing environment for both the students
and anybody just passing through. We wanted to incorporate this idea into our design.

Figure 10 – Aesthetics (Old Dominion University)

ODU’s Constant Hall also possesses an interior balcony which provides a lot of
natural lighting and space.

We want the building to flow with the aesthetics currently on campus. We used the
following as references for our design:

Figure 17 and 18 are the ECSB and Broderick Dining from ODU’s campus,
respectively. They both have a curved main entrance that consists primarily of glass,
steel, and Monarch Brick. These aren’t the only two buildings with this design;
however, they are closest to our site. We wanted to keep this general theme consistent
with the campus.

A.4. Space Allocation

Figure 20 – Building Design

Above is the South end of our design. The South End contains two entrances while the North
End contains one Main Entrance. Both entrances have been designed to be aesthetically
pleasing and to provide a lot of natural light.

A.7. Conclusions and Recommendations

The design has achieved a good level of aesthetically pleasing features, both interior and
exterior. The main problem with the design is the space allocation. The tenants simply require
more assignable space. We recommend that this design be made optimal in terms of assignable
space. Something else that needs to be seriously considered is how the light enters into the
building, not only for energy purposes, but also for comfort purposes. As is, the light enters
mainly on the South side of the building. The issues with this is that 1) there are mainly offices in
this part of the building with full glass walls, and 2) the light directly hits the planetarium, which
is a large portion of empty space, potentially causing a higher HVAC loading. This would
potentially discomfort the tenants. If this design was maximized in terms of space allocation we
believe it would be a suitable building for all of the tenants; however, more time is needed.

Structural Design
S.1. Introduction
S.1.1 Goals and Objectives
The main goal in the structural design of this building was to design an innovative and
sustainable building while making it as cost efficient as possible. We want this building
to be a benchmark in the structural world and a goal for other projects in the future.
Another important objective is to design a building that meets all standards and codes but
that is also build able. We didnt want to design a building that works but will take
extreme amounts of time to put together. Lastly our main goal was to create a building
that Old Dominion University would be proud of.

S.2 Structural Design


S.2.1. Design Criteria
Codes and manuals were used in determining design loadings and as a way to determine
sizes of needed material for beams, columns, floor slabs, etc.
Resources that were primarily used but were not limited to:
 2012 Edition of the Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Code (VSUBC)
 2012 Edition of the International Building Code (IBC)
 2010 Edition of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE 7-10)
 13th Edition of the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC)
 2014 Edition of the American Concrete Institute (ACI 318)

S.2.2. Materials

S.2.2.1. Steel
Steel is a lightweight, ductile material that is ideal to use as a framework for our building.
Steel has good properties when it comes to uniformity, resistance to creep, and shrink
resistance. The beams and columns that are located throughout the entire building are all
made of steel. Steel has high tensile strength, which can be used as rebar for supporting
concrete sections. When choosing the floor system there were essentially two options of
steel framing. The first type is composite construction consisting of wide flange beams
and a concrete floor slab on metal decking, the one we decided to go with. The other is
simply steel bar joist with a similar concrete floor slab on metal decking.

Page 18 of 73
ODU Chemistry and Biology Building
Preliminary Engineering Report
Apr 24, 2017
S.2.2.2. Concrete
Concrete is comprised of air, water, cement, and aggregate. Concrete is used for its high
compressive strength; however it has weak tensile strength. Concrete is tested for
workability through the use of slump tests. If the test has a high slump, high water
content is present within the concrete mix, thus having a higher workability. If slump is
less than specified, more cement admixture is added into the mix until desired
workability is achieved. The foundation floor slab is normal concrete but for the upper
floor slab we choose lightweight concrete for a lighter dead load.

S.3. Design Loads


The different types of loads considered during the load calculation phase were dead loads, live
loads, wind loads, seismic loads, and snow loads. These loads can be combined in multiple
combinations which will be discussed in a later section. All loads were taken from ASCE 7-10
and IBC.
S.3.1. Live Loads
Live loads were computed using standards from Chapter 4 of ASCE 7-10. Live loads used
are listed below:
 Floor Live Loads:
o First floor live load = 100 PSF
o Lab space live load = 100 PSF
o Office space = 50 PSF
o Balconies = 100 PSF
o Storage/Mechanical areas = 125 PSF
o Stairs and exit ways = 100 PSF
 Roof Live Load = 30 PSF

These live loads can be reduced in different locations depending on the area. This reduction
allowed for lighter beam and joist design, resulting in saved cost. The reduction formula is
explained with detail in the structural appendix ## section.
S.3.2. Dead Loads
Dead loads were computed through the weight of structural components: columns, beams,
etc. In computing dead loads, Chapter 3 of ASCE 7-10 was used as a reference. The main
factor that determined the dead load was the weight of the concrete floor slab on each level.
Another factor in determining the dead load is the weight of the material holding the slab, in
this case wide flange joists and girders.
 Dead Loads:
o Roof = 40 PSF

Page 19 of 73
ODU Chemistry and Biology Building
Preliminary Engineering Report
Apr 24, 2017
o Floor = 60 PSF

S.3.3. Environmental Loads


Wind, seismic, and snow loads are the environmental loads considered throughout this
project. Environmental load values are based off of geographic location; our location being
ODU campus. Typical values and calculations are made through the use of ASCE 7-10.
These calculations can be found in the structural section of the appendix.
S.3.3.1. Wind Loads
Wind loads are forces on a building from the force of wind in the atmosphere. Wind load
calculations were based off of Chapter 26-30 of ASCE 7-10. The wind load was the
deciding factor among the lateral loads because of the location of this building. The wind
speed used was 124 mph, resulting in a wind velocity pressure of 29.1 PSF. To design for
this load, vertical bracing was placed at multiple column lines throughout the building.
S.3.3.2. Snow Loads
Snow loads are loadings applied from snow and ice that accumulate on a roof. Snow
load calculations were based off of Chapter 7 of ASCE 7-10. Snow is not a huge factor
because of the location but we did have to take into account the roof snow load and apply
it to our building. Another thing to point out is the possibility of snow drift and build up
near mechanical roof top units. The roof snow load came out to be 7.7 PSF.
S.3.3.3. Seismic Loads
Seismic loads are the loadings applied due to sudden movements of the earth. Seismic
load calculations were based off of Chapter 11 of ASCE 7-10. The spectral response
coefficients were found using the USGS website. For the basic seismic-force resisting
system, our building is classified as steel ordinary concentrically braced frames. This
gives us a response modification factor of 3.25. In the end, the design base shear came
out to be 157.44 kips. This would be distributed among the 5 floors as a lateral force.
Ultimately wind governed the design of our building.
S.3.4. Load Combinations
Load and resistance factor design (LRFD) is implemented in determining which combination
of different loadings will have the largest loading, thus representing the minimum load in
which a member must be able to handle. Seven equations are provided in determining the
highest loading, with coefficients that have ratios that account for likelihood. These seven
equations are shown below:
1.4D
1.2D + 1.6L + 0.5(Lr or S or R)
1.2D + 1.6(Lr or S or R) + (L OR 0.5W)
1.2D + 1.0W + L + 0.5(Lr or S or R)

Preliminary Engineering Report
Apr 24, 2017
1.2D + 1.0E + L + 0.2S
0.9D + 1.0W
0.9D + 1.0E

S.4. Foundation Design


For the foundation we designed for a concrete floor slab with a turned down slab. Piles will be
placed beneath a thickened slab which will be underneath columns. The concrete floor slab will
be 5 inches with welded wire fabric used as reinforcement. Underneath the floor slab will be
insulation to protect the concrete from weathering. The soil will compacted beneath this to abide
by geotechnical standards. The turned down slab will be 18" deep which is the frost depth
requirement for the ASCE 7-10. At the column loads, the thickened slab will be connected to
concrete pile caps and driven piles. Piles are further discussed in the geotechnical section. The
floor slabs above grade will be 5 inches thick on metal decking which is reinforced with welded
wire fabric as well. Vulcraft, a supplier of metal decking, gives allowable load tables in order to
size the decking as well as the thickness of the concrete slab. Based on our floor loads consisting
of live and dead, we used 1.5VL22 metal decking. This is spaced at six feet on center to mach
the joist spacing.

S.5. Structural Modeling


The structural model was constructed using Revit 2015. Revit is a structural modeling and
analysis program used by the majority of engineering firms. No calculations were performed
using this program, only the illustration of our building and material/sizes we will be using.

S.6. Reasoning Behind Structural Design


The structural system consist of steel framing which allows for easier construction and a cheaper
design. Time is always of the essence and essentially equals money at the end of the day. In
today's high tech and innovative era clients want there project to be ahead of schedule. This is
even more important when the client is a university. Steel allows for the fastest construction
because parts are pre engineered to a specific size and specification. This speeds up construction
time immensely, making it possible to complete large-scale projects in a matter of weeks. A big
part of why steel is a cheaper design option is because of the money saved through a shortened
construction period. Another reason is because of its durability. Steel has a longer live span and
requires very little repairs during its use.

S.7. Structural Framing Design


All beams, joists, and columns are wide flange sections designed in accordance with the AISC.
When designing the steel, it is critical to select the lightest section since steel is weighted by
tonage. Below are notes on the different parts of the building.
 Joists Design
o All joists are spaced at 6 feet on center.
o Joist are lighter beams that carry the floor loads to girders.
o The main joist sizes in this building were W16x26 and W18x35.
o Joists are braced with bridging to decrease moment

 Beam Design
o Beams are different sizes throughout the building and transfer the load from joists
to columns.
o The biggest beam is over the planetarium which is a 42 foot opening.
o The governing factor in the beam design was deflection in most cases.
o Beams will be bolted to columns instead of welded to save in cost.

 Column Design
o All columns are wide flange section except for around the planetarium.
o Around the planetarium we are using hollow structural pipe sections to ease with
connections.
o Columns are generally smaller sized sections due to axial load.
o Since the building is 62 feet tall, there will be multiple column splices.
o Splices keep column size down which ultimately saves in expenses.
o The largest column load is over 650 kips.

S.7.1 Planetarium Framing


Framing over the planetarium was the biggest challenge because of the length of the opening.
The opening length is 42 feet in diameter which is very large for wide flange beams. The
governing design factor was deflection rather than moment or shear. Above the planetarium
are offices and open area which is a live load of 50 psf. This was huge when designing the
beam rather than having labs over it. When choosing the beam, we went with the lightest
beam size possible since steel is priced based on weight or tonnage. Since the beam was
lighter it required a deeper flange. If deflection wasn’t considered, the beam would have been
primarily designed for bending moment. In this case, the size of the beam would have been
W 21x101 instead.

To the left is an elevated view of a column line that is located at the back of the building. The
reason for focusing on this section is because it is the largest bay size in the building besides
the planetarium opening. The beam, spanning from the left side to the middle, is 32’ in
length. This required a larger beam size in the design. Also, there are lab rooms above which
require a live load of 100 psf. This also forced a larger beam size. When designing the beam
the biggest two factors were bending moment and deflection. When solving for deflection we
compared the allowable moment with the actual deflection.

Figure 27 – Braced Elevation

S.7.3 Wall Section


For the wall and interior framing we will be using light gauge metal framing. There are many
positives to using light gauge framing. The ease of construction is a huge factor because you
can assemble a wall off site and instead of doing to on the spot. In our building meta studs
support the brick veneer on the outside and the drywall and insulation on the inside. Exterior
wall studs are designed by applying the components and cladding wind force against the

building. The sizing and calculations for the light gauge metal framing is in the structural part
of the appendix.

G.1. Introduction
G.1.1.Goal and Objectives
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the soils characteristics at the location of the
borings drilled at the surrounding of the new site location at Lot 23 with the respect to the
design and construction of foundations of the proposed ODU New Sciences Building. Also,
included in our objective is an evaluation and recommendation for constructions procedures
and potential construction problems dealing with pile installation.

G.2. Objectives
The geotechnical design specialists should:

Apr 24, 2017
 Comply with the 2013 ODU Master Plan
 Description and analysis of the soils revealed by the borings performed at the proposed
site along with analysis of CPT, SPT and dilatometer.
 Length, size, allowable axial load and structural allowable capacity recommendations for
the utilization of a deep foundation system for support of the proposed structure.
 Construction installation and monitoring recommendations.

G.3. Identification of Option to Address


 Considerations
o Adjacent structures as a limitation of pile type and pile installation.
o Construction time frame.
o Old Dominion University as a college campus.
o Resource availability on Hampton Roads area.

G.4. Field Exploration


From previous projects around the site on Lot 23, twelve borings and their respective Standard
Penetration Test (SPT) at various depths along with one Cone Penetration Test (CPT), one
dilatometer and one shear test were analyzed. See Appendix for reference.

G.5. Laboratory Testing Procedures


Representative portions of SPT soil samples collected during drilling operations were analyzed
and visually classified in accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS).

G.6. Subsurface Soil Condition


The results from field exploration, SPT, CPT and dilatometer around Lot 23 indicated a broad
subsurface condition. The unit weight of the various soils layers were generalized using Mayne
et al 2010 relationship,
ƴt (kN/m3) = 11.46 + 0.33 log(z) + 3.10 log(fs) + 0.70 log(qt) (Eq. 1),

where qt and f are in units of kPa and depth z is input in meters. Friction angle was derived using
Rovertson and Ampanella 1983 relationship,

where σvo' is the effective stress in psf. The undrained shear strength value for clay was
calculated using a Nkt value of 18. The tabulation of all soil parameter calculations are attached to
See Appendix of this report.
Data crossing and interpolation of the above results along with CPT, SPT, and dilatometer, as
well as geotechnical engineering judgement were used to generate general engineering design
parameters as well as a site soil profile for the particular site. The subsurface soil profiles of all
the other twelve borings are attached on Appendix section of this report.

The initial soil layer extended from beneath the surface materials to a depth of about 12 feet
below existing grades. The soils of this layer is consisted mainly of sand and sand mix (SC, SM,
SP-SM) with varying amounts of silt and/or clay.
Underlaying the initial soil layer and extending to a depth of about 70 to 75 feet, the soils of this
layer consisted of silty clay (CH & CL) to silty sandy clay (CL). The N-values indicated that
these soils were very soft to medium stiff consistency.
The final soil layer extended from beneath the second layer to a depth of about 100 feet below
grades. The soils of this layer consisted of sand (SM, SP-SM), with varying amounts of silt
and/or clay. This soils layer are described as Norfolk/Yorktown Sand.
The soil profile generated from CPT data is used as a comparison tool. As observed on Figures
29 and 30, the CPT data collected 120 feet from the job site does not accurately describes the soil
profile.

G.7. Groundwater Observations
G.7.1.Groundwater level
The ground water level was measured to be approximately 5 to 6 feet below the existing
grades. It should be noted however, that the groundwater levels tend to fluctuate during
periods of prolonged drought and extended rainfall. In general, high groundwater levels are
normally recorded in late winter and early spring.

G.7.2. Groundwater concerns


It is recommended that the contractor determine the actual groundwater levels at the time of
construction to determine groundwater impact during construction of this project.

G.8. Pile Design


G.8.1. Pile Length Calculations
Calculations and analysis of H-piles, steel pipe piles and presstress precast concrete piles in
three different sizes of each were performed (HP14x73, HP1x60, HP14x73, Steel 14”, Steel
18”, Steel 38”, Concrete S12x12”, Concrete S14x14”, Concrete S24x24”). Timber piles were
not analyzed as they generally can only carry 10 to 50 tons. Auger piles were discarded as an
option as they are generally costly and cluttered.

The average between Meyerhof’s and Vesic’s methods for all pile types in all different sizes
was used to calculated the tip point resistance. α-method was used for skin friction and a
factor of safety of three, it is recommended the use of presstress precast square concrete
14x14” piles going at 90 feet. Pile design load for all other pile types and sizes are attached
on Appendix section of this report.

At a depth of 90 feet, the Square 14x14” pile can carry an ultimate load of about 400 kips,
which is combined tip resistance and skin friction. As it can be observed from Table 2 and
Figure 31, this pile can be described as end bearing pile and skin friction pile where the
bottom rests on Yorktown Sand; end bearing pile means the load of the building is
transferred onto the strong layer. The pile capacities are related to the piling embedment
length from existing grades; any significant reduction in the embedment length may result in
a corresponding reduction in the piling capacity.

Figure 32 illustrates the skin friction going to 90 feet. It is important to note the first 15-20
feet of the pile will be drilled as to minimize vibration and will be explained on G.9.2.1 of
this report. Therefore, the first 15-20 feet did not account for any of the skin friction of the
pile. Pile group efficiency is not included on all of these previous graphs and tables.

G.8.2. Pile Spacing and Group Efficiency

The piles were designed to have six, four, and two piles in the various pile caps. The
efficiency calculations were 0.791, 0.875, and 1, respectively. The spacing of the piles were
determined to be 2.5 of the diameter of the pile (2.5x14”). The 2.5D is the minimum
recommended pile spacing.

G.8.3. Structural Pile Design

All presstress precast square 14x14” piles were designed using ACI 318-14 as short columns
with small eccentricity. Bending calculations were not performed. All piles must be square
14x14” of presstress precast concrete with strength of 4ksi. #3 stirrup at ten inches spacing
and four grade 60 #7 and one and a half inch for clear cover. This design will have an axial
load capacity of 420 kips. The maximum individual axial pile load is 122 kips. Structural pile
design calculations were performed as reference calculations only and they should be revised
for final recommendations. See Appendix for drawings.

G.9. Design Recommendations


G.9.1. Foundation Design Recommendations
The maximum column load of the entire structure was calculated to be 650 kips. Along with
the other interior column of 530kips, it is recommended to have six piles per cap. Between
449 and 270 kips, all pile caps must have four piles. All other caps must have two piles per
cap. All piles will be drilled the first 20 feet and driven to 90 feet. The total group pile load
calculated on Appendix section has the various group efficiency factor calculated in.

Figure 35 - Pile Design 3

G.9.2. Construction Recommendations


G.9.2.1. Pre-Drilling and Clearing of Pile Locations
It is recommended that pre-drilling to a depth of 20 feet as already previously discussed.
The pre-drilling also serves as a method to detect and remove potential hidden shallow
obstructions that could result in pile damage during driving. These piles holes are also
expected to facilitate the pile installation procedures.
G.9.2.2. Pile Settlement
Based on the results of load tests performed on piles driven in similar soils conditions, it
is anticipated that the total settlements resulting from applied compression loads listed on
Appendix section will be approximately equal to the elastic compression of the pile
which is about ¼ inch.
G.9.2.3 Vibration Recommendations
When considering the suitability of a driven pile foundation, consideration should be
given to the integrity of nearby structures. Due to the large amount of energy required to
install driven deep foundations, vibrations of considerable magnitude are generated.
These vibrations may affect nearby structures. These structures can, due to their
proximity, be detrimentally affected by the construction unless proper protection
measures are taken.

Page 37 of 73
ODU Chemistry and Biology Building
Preliminary Engineering Report
Apr 24, 2017
As addressed before, Lot 23 presents some site constraints. The ODU Oceanography and
Physics Building 120 feet from the site location has vibration constraints due to the
nature of inside structures, such as aquariums, and different types of research that cannot
absorb normal levels of vibration.

It is therefore recommended that a thorough survey of the adjacent property be made


prior to starting construction. This will help to better evaluate real claims and refute
groundless nuisance claims. The survey should include, but not be limited to the
following:

 Visually inspect adjacent structures, noting and measuring cracks and other signs
of distress. Take photographs as needed.
 Visually inspect adjacent pavements, noting and measuring any significant cracks,
depressions, etc. Take photographs as needed.
 Establish several benchmarks along foundation walls on adjacent structures.
Both Vertical and horizontal control should be employed.

Determine if equipment in any adjacent building is sensitive to vibration, and if so,


establish proper control and a vibration monitoring system, including the use of a
seismograph.

G.9.2.4. Test Pile Program

It is recommended to perform Pile Driving Analysis (PDA) testing on six piles out of the
two hundred and fifty seven total piles. The piles should be driven to 95 feet and restriked
after seven days. The seven day interval will allow the piles to reach their maximum
capacity as the excess pore water pressure will be dissipated during that time period and
the soil will be remolded around the piles. Figure 36 illustrates all six test piles.

G.9.2.5. Dynamic Testing

Dynamic testing was developed as a method of improving upon the reliability of the
wave equation and other dynamic predictions by actually measuring the acceleration and
strain of a pile during driving. This technique was developed in the mid-1960 and has
been continually refined. The use of dynamic pile testing has permitted the possibility of
checking the driving stresses in the pile and the hammer performance during pile
driving. It is also possible to estimate the static capacity of the pile based upon the strain
and acceleration measurements taken during pile driving.

Page 38 of 73
ODU Chemistry and Biology Building
Preliminary Engineering Report
Apr 24, 2017
The installation of test piles should be monitored by the Geotechnical Engineer using the
PDA, an electronic device that records driving stresses and pile/soil interactions among
other things. The PDA results will confirm that the pile driving system (hammer
type/energy, cushion type/thickness, etc.) can successfully install the piles without over
stressing them in compression or tension. We recommend that the owner retain the
services of the Geotechnical Engineer to perform the dynamic testing, not the contractor,
to avoid possible conflicts of interest.

The use of PDA has indicated that a significant cost savings may be realized if the PDA
is properly utilized to monitor the installation of test piles, confirm pile capacity in
production installations, and monitor potentially damaging stresses during driving. The
use of the PDA permits the confirmation of allowable compression and uplift capacities
and pile integrity on several piles for a cost similar to or less than that of a single full-
scale static load test.

Transportation
T.1. Introduction
T.1.1. Goals and Objectives
Lot 23 is in a location where not many motor vehicles are coming in and out of the area.
The transportation portions of this project was dedicated to relocating the 112 parking
spaces from the lot, designing accesible routes for the increased pedestrian traffic to the
Page 39 of 73
ODU Chemistry and Biology Building
Preliminary Engineering Report
Apr 24, 2017
new Biology & Chemistry Building, and designing accesible routes for service vehicles
to access our location.

Figure 37 - Site Locations

T.2. Parking
On our site, there are currently one hundred and twelve parking spaces placed on this site.
Included in these spaces are eight handicap spaces and two governmental spaces. This site is
housing the faculty and staff of Old Dominion University that currently works in the
surrounding areas such as the Oceanography & Physical Sciences Building, Wrestling
Building, and the Engineering & Computational Sciences Building. We decided that we
would relocate these parking spaces to two places that’s near our site; Garage B &
Oceanography and Physical Science Building.

Page 40 of 73
ODU Chemistry and Biology Building
Preliminary Engineering Report
Apr 24, 2017

Figure 38 - Garage B Figure 39 - Oceanography Parking Lot

Garage B, is shown in Figure 35. Here we will be relocating most of the 112 parking spaces to
this area. In Figure 36, Oceanography’s Parking Lot, there are currently 24 parking spaces that
are unassigned (not reserved) to anyone. 10 of those parking spaces will be changed to house the
8 Handicap spaces and 2 Governmental spaces that are coming in from Lot 23.

T.3. Accessible Routes


T.3.1. Pedestrians
T.3.1.1.Crosswalks
Our building will have two entrances located on the northeast of our building and the
southeast of our building. Here we needed to make sure that we provided safe and
accessible routes for the faculty, staff, and students of Old Dominion University to
enter and exit our building. We decide to add one new crosswalk area located
between the Oceanography Building and our site, as shown on Figure 40. There is
already a crosswalk that connects the two sites located underneath the Maglev. That
crosswalk connects to the sidewalk that leads to the northern main entrance. The
crosswalk that will be installed will connect to the sidewalk that leads to the southern
main entrance.
T.3.1.2. Sidewalks
Fortunately, on our site, there are two sidewalks already placed to help with the
accessibility of pedestrians traveling through ODU’s campus as illustrated on Figure
41.

Figure 40 - Current and New Crosswalk

Figure 41 - Sidewalks on Site

There are two main sidewalks. One, is located along the east border of our
building and the other is located on the southern border of our building. These
two sidewalks will be kept because each of these sidewalks is connecting two
areas of campus and we want to keep these areas accessible to each other.

Figure 42 - Sidewalk (East of Building) Figure 43 - Sidewalk (South of Border)

Figure 43 shows the sidewalk that runs along the eastern part of our building. It
connects from 43rd street to the new ODU dining hall, Broderick Commons (49th
street). Figure 6 shows the sidewalk that runs along the southern part of our
building. It connects the parking area on Elkhorn Ave (Garage B & OCYNPS
Parking) to the Wrestling Building located behind our site.

T.3.2. Service Vehicles


Our building will need to be accessible for vehicles to come and service our building. We
have decided to extend the service road, that is located behind our site, to our loading
area. The service road that is located behind our site, is Parker Avenue. This road is
already used to service the Wrestling Building. It can fit a fire truck already down that
road so we needed to make sure that the road we designed could accommodate a fire
truck in our area.

T.4. Road Design


We decided to design our road using a three-layer method based from VDOT Pavement
Design Guide. Because of the soil conditions on our site it was decided to go with this
method because it added strength and provides a sturdy foundation to build upon.
According to VDOT Pavement Design, we need a subbase layer, base, and surface layers.
The subbase, which would be fill consisted of 2” of compacted layer of rock. The base layer,
will be filled with 6” of asphalt concrete base mix. The final layer, surface layer, will be
filled with 2” of asphalt concrete surface mix. This road turns out to be slightly thicker than
the average design standard but we decided to lean more on to the side of caution to
accommodate fire trucks that needed to pull into the area. We wanted to make sure that the
weight of the fire trucks did not cause the soil to fail underneath it. Also with this design we
elected to design this road with a 0.78% gradient to help with draining water from the road,
Page 43 of 73
ODU Chemistry and Biology Building
Preliminary Engineering Report
Apr 24, 2017
into the grassy area, and eventually into the drainage system.

T.4.1. Turning Radius


Along with our service road, we also wanted to make sure that we could accommodate
the turning radius of a vehicle of a fire truck in our design area. According to the
International Fire Code 2012 Section 503.2.4, the turning radius of an access road shall
be determined by a fire code official. The common practice to design for a fire truck
though is to design for a Large Bus. According to the AASHTO Green Book 2011, a
large bus carries a maximum turning radius of 47.8 ft.

Figure 44 – Vehicle Dimension

Page 44 of 73
ODU Chemistry and Biology Building
Preliminary Engineering Report
Apr 24, 2017

Figure 45 - Turning Radius

Therefore, based from the AASHTO Green Book 2011, we designed our service area to
accommodate a vehicle with a 50ft turning radius. Having designed for a 45ft vehicle, the
vehicles that are expected to service this building on the regular will have no problem with
moving in and out of this loading area. The turning radius of the cargo vans and pickup
trucks carry the same turning radius of 25.5ft max turning radius (AASHTO Green Book
2011).

T.5. Loading Area


The loading area will be located on the western most part of our building. Here is where the
access road will lead to so vehicles are able to drop off supplies and pick up used supplies. This
area is roughly 3,025sq ft. We designed this are so there will be enough to room for multiple
vehicles to wait and be out of the way of a vehicle being loaded/unloaded.

Environmental Design
E.1. Stormwater, Water Resources, and Utilities
E.1.1.Introduction
E.1.1.1. Goal
The purpose of the stormwater, water resources, and utilities report is to
evaluate the current state of the underground and ground level infrastructure
at and around our new site location at lot 23 and determine what changes
must be made to successfully design and construct the proposed ODU New
Sciences Building. Also, design calculation and recommendations are
included in this report for the new building’s expected utility needs.

E.1.1.2. Objectives
The stormwater, water resource, and utility design specialists should:
 Comply with the 2013 ODU Master Plan
 Comply with the 2015 ODU Stormwater Master Plan
 Comply with the City of Norfolk’s Utility Design Criteria Manual
 Comply with regulations set by Virginia’s Department of Health
 Description and analysis of the changes to utilities that must be
made on and around the site to meet the needs of the new building
 Give accurate utility maps to show where infrastructure will need to
be removed, added, and/or replaced.
 Determine and show calculations for new pipe sizes for new water
and sanitary sewer pipes.

E.2. Stormwater
While planning the stormwater design for the new science building project, it is vital to
look at the current layout of Lot 23 and analyze how stormwater is managed currently. In
Figure 46, the current stormwater piping is shown in green. There are six storm drains in
the existing parking lot where water drains into the detention pond on the south end of the
site, pictured in Figure 47. Stormwater is then directed into a 48 inch RCP (Reinforced
Concrete Piping) stormwater pipe that leads into local waterways. There is also storm
drains on the west side of the site that is not going to be underneath our building. One of
the problems faced by the engineers is removing and replacing the stormwater piping that
would be underneath our building when it is constructed. The proposed science building is

Page 46 of 73
ODU Chemistry and Biology Building
Preliminary Engineering Report
Apr 24, 2017
outlined in black in Figure 46. The piping in question includes part of the 48 inch RCP
pipe, and five of the six storm drains in the parking lot, as well as the PVC and RCP piping
that connects the storm drains and directs the stormwater to the detention pond.

Figure 46 - Existing Stormwater Layout

Figure 47 - Detention Pond on Site

In order to ensure there is no piping underneath our proposed building site, part of the

Page 47 of 73
ODU Chemistry and Biology Building
Preliminary Engineering Report
Apr 24, 2017
proposed stormwater layout includes a plan to remove and, in some cases, replace the
current stormwater infrastructure underneath the building site. Because our building will
be have its own roof rainwater management system, most of the storm drains and affiliated
piping can be removed and not replaced. One of the storm drains on the northwest side of
the site, however, will not be covered by the building and thus it will not be removed, and
instead a new 12 inch PVC pipe will be connected to the drain and run to the piping system
that runs along the west side of the site.

Figure 48 - Proposed Stromwater Layout

The 48 inch RCP pipe, however, will need to be replaced once the portion of pipe that
would be underneath our building site is removed. The new 48 inch RCP pipe will connect
the storm drain on the south west side of the site and run southeast towards to the storm
drain that connects to the detention pond, and then run east to tie into a 42 inch RCP pipe
via a new storm drain. Also, a new 15 inch RCP pipe will be installed on the southeast side
of the building that will connect an existing stormwater man hole to the new 48 inch RCP
storm pipe. All proposed stormwater infrastructure changes are pictured in Figure 48.
The next step in the stormwater design is to address the rainwater and the associated
pollutants that will affect the building site. According to the Chesapeake Bay Total
Maximum Daily Load (TDML) Action Plan and ODU’s Stormwater Management Master
Plan, ODU must use certain means and methods to meet the special conditions for the

Page 48 of 73
ODU Chemistry and Biology Building
Preliminary Engineering Report
Apr 24, 2017
Chesapeake Bay TMDL. ODU’s Stormwater Management Master Plan states that on
projects started after July 1, 2014, “Phosphorous loadings must be reduced by 20% when
the project area is greater than 1 acre. Virginia Stormwater Management Program (VSMP)
Regulations identify phosphorus loading as the “keystone” indicator of runoff water
quality. Pollutant removal required by the Virginia Stormwater Management Program
(VSMH) will be used as pollutant offsets towards second and third permit cycle TMDL
goals. Removal is typically achieved through the use of BMPs, or Best Management
Practices”. BMPs also reduce stormwater flow volume and peak flows. Because the site is
1.37 acres, there had to be 20% reduction in phosphorous loading. After meetings with Mr.
Doug Alexander, an ODU stormwater specialist, it was decided to reduce the phosphorous
load as much as possible on our site, to help ODU reach its required pollutant removal
goals that are increasing over time.
In order to achieve the phosphorus loading reduction goal on site, it is necessary to figure
out how much total phosphorus is available for removal. Using the Virginia Stormwater
Management Program – Virginia Runoff Reduction Method (VRMM), the total phosphorus
available for removal is 2.57 lbs./year. The current BMP on site, the detention pond, also
considered a grass swale, removes 0.84 lbs. of phosphorus a year according to the ODU
Stormwater Master Plan. There will also an additional BMP added to the site. A rainwater
garden was chosen to fit with the current BMPs around ODU’s campus (see Figure 46) and
the high phosphorus removal rates. The new rainwater garden BMP will be located on the
southwest side of the building, beside the loading dock and will use the existing storm drain
at the location. The additional BMP will have a phosphorus removal of 0.49 lbs. and will
have stormwater coming in from both the building’s roof and a portion of the service road
and loading dock area. The existing detention pond will also have water draining from the
high roof flow from a sloped ground, into the detention pond, as well as stormwater from
the grassed area on the south of the site. The total phosphorus removal through the two
BMPs is 1.33 lbs., resulting in a phosphorus reduction of 51.75% which exceeds the
requirements set by the ODU Stormwater Master Plan, as per Mr. Alexander’s
recommendation. We will also have a total runoff reduction of 968 cubic feet. Stormwater
calculations can be viewed in Appendix.
Beach Consultants also plans to implement a roof rainwater collection system that will
collect rainwater from our low roof, and use it to flush toilets and irrigation throughout the
building. In order to do this there is a need for an estimated 60,000 gallon storage tank that
could be located beside the chilled water towers on the west side of the building. This roof
rainwater collection system not only reduces the stormwater volume for our site, but it also
would reduce our potable water need by 25% according to EPA Rainwater Harvesting
Policies. A diagram picturing how roof rainwater collection systems work and the
possibilities of efficient roofing is pictured in Figure 47.

According to the City of Norfolk’s Department of Utilities Standard Design Criteria
Manual, section 2 on Wastewater Collection Systems, “Sanitary Sewers are to be provided
solely for the collection and transport of sanitary waste.” The sanitary sewer design of the
new sciences building at Old Dominion University was designed in accordance with the
City of Norfolk’s Standard Utilities Design Manual. Also, the proposed sanitary sewer site
layout was drawn and designed using AutoCAD Civil 3D.
The building’s site location is on an existing parking lot, thus, there is no existing sanitary
sewer gravity main that we could directly tap into. The only sanitary sewer line running
through our site, are two abandoned 8” sanitary sewer lines, which must be removed.
However, as shown in Figure 48. there is an 8” PVC gravity main along Elkhorn Ave that
ends with a manhole at the southeast of our proposed building. We are going to extend the
sanitary sewer system approximately 100 feet running north of the existing system, staying
along Elkhorn Ave. At the end of the 100 feet, there will be a 48 inch diameter manhole
that will connect to a PVC lateral to the east of the gravity main that will connect to the
building (Figure 52). The 8” gravity main extension will keep the same parameters as the
existing gravity main.

The first step in the lateral design is to determine the average daily sewage flow. According
to Norfolk’s Utilities Standard Design Criteria Manual, the flow, flow duration hours, and
peak factor for an educational building is 15 GPD/person, 12 hours, and 3 respectively.
Using this data, along with our building’s occupant load, 1320 (Appendix ???), the average
flow is calculated to be 27.5 GPM (Appendix A.1). After the average flow is calculated, the
peak flow is determined to be 82.5 GPM or 0.119 MGD (Appendix A.2).
After the average and peak flow is determined, manning’s equation is used to determine the
lateral pipe size. The manning’s number (n) for PVC piping is 0.010 according to
Norfolk’s Utilities Standard Design Criteria Manual. The slope was calculated to be 0.05
ft/ft which is the same slope using on the existing gravity main that we are tying into. Using
the area and wetted perimeter, assuming a half full pipe, and a peak flow of 0.1815 cfs, the
diameter of the lateral was determined to be 4 inches (Appendix A.3).

E.4. Water Resources Design


The water resources design for the Old Dominion University new science building requires
meeting the domestic, fire-flow, and chilled water needs for the building, as well as
analyzing the current water utilities on site and determining what needs to be removed,
relocated, and added. Shown in Figure 50 is the current water resource layout taken from
Old Dominion’s utility plan on AutoCAD Civil 3D with the proposed building outlined in
black. There is a 6 inch water line and a 3 inch irrigation line running through lot 23 that
connects to the wrestling building to the west of the site. There is also the chiller plant to
the north of our proposed building, and various water mains along Elkhorn Ave. All of this
infrastructure was taken into account for the water resource design.

Apr 24, 2017

Figure 53 - Current water resource utility layout

In order to ensure there is no utility piping underneath our building that could cause
problems with the foundation or structural design, the first step of the water resource design
is removing and replacing the 6 inch water line and 3 inch irrigation in the middle of our
site. The pipes will be moved to the south end of the parking lot, in between the building
and the detention pond and connect to the same 6 inch PVC water main it was originally
connected to. The pipes will be spaced 1 inch away from all other pipes as per the City of
Norfolk’s Department of Utilities Standard Design Criteria Manual’s specification on water
pipes, and be above the stormwater pipe detailed in section E.2. The change can be seen in
the proposed water resource layout in Figure 54.

Apr 24, 2017

Figure 54 - Proposed Water Resource Utility Layout

With the site clear of underground water utilities, the water needs of the new science
building needs to be addressed. After consulting with Dr. Xixi Wang, an associate professor
of civil engineering at Old Dominion University, specializing in hydrology and water
resources, it was decided to have two separate pipes for our buildings domestic water and
water needed for fire flow. For both pipes there will be a water meter and water vault to
control the flow of water. Also, both pipes will be PVC and connect to the 10 inch water
main running along Elkhorn Avenue. A closer look of the pipe connection is shown in
Figure 55.

ODU Chemistry and Biology Building
Preliminary Engineering Report
Apr 24, 2017

Figure 55 - Proposed Domestic and Fire Flow pipe location

In order to calculate the pipe size for domestic water flow, the domestic water demand must
be calculated. According to Norfolk’s Utilities Standard Design Criteria Manual, the
domestic water flow for an educational building is 15 GPD/person with a 12 hour flow
duration. Using this data, along with our building’s occupant load, 1320, the average flow
is calculated to be 27.5 GPM (Appendix section). After the average flow is calculated, the
domestic peak water flow is determined by multiplying the average hourly flow by a
constant of 2.75, per section 4.2.04 of the Norfolk Utility Standard Design Criteria Manual.
The domestic peak water flow comes out to be 75.625 GPM (Appendix section). The
domestic water pipe size is then calculated using the Hazen-Williams formula. Referencing
AWWA M22 – PVC Pipe: Design and Installation, a hazen-williams constant of 120 is
used. For the water pressures used in the hazen-williams formula, data from nearby
hydrants was obtained from Norfolk department of utilities (Appendix section). Using this
data, the diameter of the domestic water flow pipe is calculated to be 3 inches (Appendix
section)
The water for needed fire flow was calculated from the Insurance Services Office (ISO)
Guide for Determination of Needed Fire Flow. Using the buildings calculated affected first
floor area of 31500 square feet, construction class, combustibility class, amount of floors,
and 50% of the second floor, the needed fire flow is 2754 GPM. With a 50% reduction for a
sprinkler system and rounding to the nearest 250 GPM, the final needed fire flow is 1500
GPM (Appendix section). Using the hazen-williams formula with the same parameters as
the domestic flow, the pipe diameter comes out to be 8 inches (Appendix section).

ODU Chemistry and Biology Building
Preliminary Engineering Report
Apr 24, 2017
It is also important to note that according to Norfolk’s Utilities Standard Design Criteria
Manual, the institutional minimum fire flow from hydrants is 4000 GPM. Also, according
to AWWA M31 – Distribution System Requirements for Fire Protection, the hydrants must
have a max hose length of 250 feet from any part of the building. Shown in Figure 53, there
are 2 existing fire hydrants behind the oceanography building beside Elkhorn Ave and a
hydrant to the west side of the building with a flow capacity between 1000 and 1500 GPM.
In order to meet the minimum fire flow requirements, there will be a fire hydrant added on
the west side of Elkhorn Ave, using a 6 inch water line connecting to a 6 inch water main
pictured in Figure 51.

Figure 56 - Current and Proposed Hydrant Locations

Finally, the chilled water need for the building needs to be taken into account. Chilled
water is needed for the building’s HVAC system. Because the chilled water towers are
adjacent to the site (see Figure 57), the chilled water does not need to travel far, however,
the capacity for the towers needed to be checked. According to the Future and Current
Capacity of Old Dominion University’s Chilled Water Plant by ODU’s Facilities
Management, the chiller plant’s current demand is 1624 tons. By fiscal year 2020, it is
planned to have a chilled water capacity of 3600 tons and the new science building already
forecasted to use the chiller plant, with an estimated 725 ton demand. There will be a
chilled water pipe that connects to the building on the northwest side, pictured in Figure 54.

E.5. Miscellaneous Utilities
Shown in Figure 58, is the proposed utility plan for gas, fiber optics, electric, and telephone
lines. The electrical lines and light poles on the existing parking lot will be removed.
Running through the middle of proposed building site are fiber optic, electric, and gas lines
that connect the wrestling building to those utilities. In order to keep these lines clear from
conflicting with the new science building, they utility lines will be removed. Gas, fiber
optic, electric, and telephone lines are available to the wrestling building from utility lines
running underneath the maglev.
With the wrestling buildings utility lines out of the way of our building site, it is necessary
to ensure an easy gas, fiber optic, electric, and telephone hook ups to service the new
science building. There are available building tie in locations for gas, telephone and electric
on the east side of the site, shown in Figure 55. For fiber optic tie in, there is an existing
fiber optic line running close to the west side of the building, which we will use to tie into
our building.

E.6. LEED
E.6.1. Introduction
Beach Consultants sought to make a holistic change that would reinforce its presence in
the area and improve the cultural dynamic for students. This prompted a comprehensive
design to fit the needs of a newly constructed, LEED Gold, 5-story building.

Page 59 of 73
ODU Chemistry and Biology Building
Preliminary Engineering Report
Apr 24, 2017
The planning process was heavily driven by the need to create efficiency and cohesion
within the expansive of Lot 23. Newly developed space standards were implemented to
improve space utilization while incorporating sustainable strategies throughout all
categories of the LEED system.
The design features a state of the art planetarium on the first floor to integrate our
innovative campaign, which amplifies an artistic veil for important spaces. Bold
geometric forms and saturated colors provide visual cues for circulation and identify
key special concepts.
The ODU facility presents a new architectural direction for our company and serves as
a strong precedent for sustainability in the energy capital of the United States.

E.6.2. Goals and Objectives


The biggest objective we wanted to apply LEED for this project is to reduce our carbon
footprint on the environment and show the community that one of our main goals to
create a clean and healthy atmosphere for everyone.
Our first goal was to create an Energy Model that would allow us to run many different
simulations simultaneously to create the most energy efficient building on Campus. It is
our objective to achieve a reduction water intake by at least 30% overall. On the
construction side, reduce at least 75% of waste sent to landfill and use at least 10% of
recycled material.
E.6.3. Strategies
Some of the individual strategies are:
 Installation of the Nordic W Series Commercial Geothermal Heat Pump
 Double Pane Low E pyrolytic glass
 Waterless Urinals
 IAQ Monitoring systems
 Roof Rainwater Collection System

E.6.3.1. Sustainable Sites


The Chemistry/Biology building provides students with the amenities of a densely
populated area with access to a variety of facilities. This density encourages
walking or biking in lieu of using a vehicle. Bicycle storage and preferred parking
locations for carpools are provided within an adjacent parking garage. The garage
provides covered parking for 88 percent of the parking provided on site, therefore
contributing to the reduction of the heat island effect. The building also reduces the
heat island effect by utilizing a roofing system that meets Energy Star and high

emissivity requirements.
E.6.3.2. Water Efficiency
The facility utilizes low-flow lavatory faucets, automatic flush sensors, automatic
faucets, dual flush water closets and waterless urinals to contribute to a total water
consumption reduction of over 39 percent.

Using LID strategies, we have achieved the 95th Percentile in reducing runoff
volume to improve water quality by replicating the natural hydrology and water
balance of the site.

E.6.3.3. Energy and Atmosphere


The project has achieved an energy cost savings of 38% using the ASHRAE 90.1-
2004 Appendix G methodology. Energy efficiency measures include an improved
thermal envelope, high efficiency glazing, reduced interior lighting power density,
and high efficiency chillers. A measurement and verification plan is in place to
monitor system performance. Energy Star compliant appliances are used throughout
the space.

E.6. Roofing
The type of roofing for the new Chemistry/Biology building may provide help with certain
environmental concerns such as stormwater runoff and energy usage. Stormwater and water
systems are taken into account in sections 7.1 and 7.2, however, the characteristics of the
roof can affect the quality and quantity of the runoff. Energy usage is a deep environmental
concern for this building due to factors such as; the large size of the building, the
planetarium space, and the fume hoods. All of these factors require, to some degree, HVAC
considerations. The roofing of the building can help reduce the already heavy HVAC
loading. The roofing also provides an opportunity to mitigate the urban heat island effect.
This section of this report will show the different options of roofing that we highly suggest
to use, as well as a comparison between the types of roofing, in order to help the client
make the best choice for this building.
E.6.1. Highly Reflective Roofing

Page 66 of 73
ODU Chemistry and Biology Building
Preliminary Engineering Report
Apr 24, 2017
A highly reflective coating can address the environmental concern of energy usage.
They have a high solar reflectance and thermal emittance that help keep the building
area underneath the roof cool by lowering the need for more air conditioned space.
HVAC savings could happen when the peak air conditioning loads are reduced, but
only with an ideal savings of 0.03-0.07 $/ft2 of cool roof.

Figure 65 – US Climate Zones

From the above image, it is most strongly recommended that cool roof systems are
placed in zones 1-3. Virginia is in zone 4, therefore a cool roof would still be a
reasonable option due to still having a significant cooling load.
Different types of cool roofing can be selected

Page 67 of 73
ODU Chemistry and Biology Building
Preliminary Engineering Report
Apr 24, 2017
Table 3 – Cool Roof Options

We recommend a smooth white liquid applied coating due to a minimal cost


expense, effectiveness, and an easy application.

E.6.2. Green Roof


A green roof was considered at the beginning of this project. We had decided to
have an extensive (as opposed to intensive) green roof. Looking into the benefits of
green roofs we saw that it would help with stormwater runoff quality, decreased
surface water runoff, decrease in HVAC loading, an improved local air quality, and
a support in the mitigation of the Urban Heat Island Effect. Generally, the first 5mm
of rain is intercepted by a green roof, although, this variable is dependent on the
characteristics of the substrate used.
A couple of disadvantages of a green roof are the increased structural loading (15-
25 lbs/ft2) and an increased capital investment. Other problems we encountered with
green roofs relate to fire safety and cost. Although BAL has a green roof, it is hard
to get BCOM to approve of a green roof due to the fact that they may potentially
trap a fire inside the building by not allowing heat to escape upward. This
information was provided to us from John Stronach from VHB. A specialized
contractor is also needed to install and maintain a green roof, which can be
expensive in this area.
We present the option of the green roof, but only on the East end of the building on
the low roof, above the classrooms and not above the labs. This option will decrease
the HVAC loading in the classrooms it is directly above, and the smaller surface
area that it covers will not be as costly as covering the entire roof.

Page 68 of 73
ODU Chemistry and Biology Building
Preliminary Engineering Report
Apr 24, 2017

E.6.3. Solar Green Roof


Another option that was looked into was the combination of a green roof with solar
panels. Studies have shown that the evapotranspiration from the green roof tends to
cool the air above and around it, making the solar panels that it is next to more
efficient than if the solar panels were to stand alone. The two types of roofing share
a complimentary relationship.
However, the issue of BCOM not accepting a green roof design on such a hazardous
building still arises, however, an energy savings cost analysis may be helpful in
future analysis. Therefore, we absolutely propose the addition of solar panels on the
roof to save some costs in the energy consumption of this energy intensive building.

E.7. Air Quality


E.7.1. Indoor Air Quality (IAQ)
ASHRAE has certain standards required for air flow. ASHRAE 62.1-2016 was used
to determine some IAQ parameters for this building. IAQ is important for this
building since there are a large number of laboratories. The IAQ of these
laboratories is important since contaminated air is likely to escape from these labs.
In order to prevent this, the labs must maintain a negative air pressure, so as to keep
the air contaminants constantly heading towards the exhaust outflow.
According to ASHRAE there is a certain airflow required for occupied spaces. Also
according to ASHRAE, fume hood exhaust cannot be recirculated into the
ventilation system for obvious reasons. The ventilation required for the occupied

Page 69 of 73
ODU Chemistry and Biology Building
Preliminary Engineering Report
Apr 24, 2017
spaces was calculated as a total of 20,418.88 ft3/min, rounding up gives us a
ventilation flow of 20,420 ft3/min. The calculations for this can be found in
Appendix section

E.7.2. Fume Hoods


In our design we were able to fit 114 fume hoods comfortable in the space. The
problem arises when we consider how to duct all of the material.

Floors 1 & 2 Floors 3 & 4


Floor 5

Figure 66 – Fume Hoods Distribution

Shown above are a majority of the fume hoods on the Southwest End of the
building. In order to save money on ducting and space we have decided to manifold
the exhaust system:

Page 70 of 73
ODU Chemistry and Biology Building
Preliminary Engineering Report
Apr 24, 2017

Figure 67 – Fume Hoods Manifold Distribution

Shown above is a schematic of the manifolded fume hoods to give the general idea
of how the exhaust system should go. By manifolding the system we are increasing
the plume rise, preventing recirculation zones, and improving overall dispersion. It
also increases internal dilution, allowing less outdoor stack dilution. Calculations
could be carried out to figure out the exact numbers of overall dispersion, but it is
dependent on the chemicals in the exhaust stream, as well as how many fume hoods
are in operation during dilution.

E.8. Hazardous Waste Management


The tenants are large generators of hazardous waste due to the very nature of their studies.
There is also a planetarium on the first floor of the building, which needs to be taken into
account here. The potential of somebody wandering off during a show in the planetarium or
a tour through the first floor of the building and finding themselves in a hazardous waste
room is not something we want to risk in any manner. Therefore, we had placed one
hazardous/chemical waste room on every floor above the first floor, making a total of 4
waste rooms. ODU already has general guidelines for keeping track of and disposing all
hazardous waste, which must be adhered to as usual.
Due to the nature of the 100 and 200 level Chemistry and Biology Lab Courses, certain
Page 71 of 73
ODU Chemistry and Biology Building
Preliminary Engineering Report
Apr 24, 2017
hazardous chemicals may find their way into the piping system. In order to avoid any
corrosion, deterioration, or chemical reactions within the piping system we recommend the
use of a glass piping system. We also do not recommend running a piping system solely for
natural gas. The tenants would not use it that much, and it is expensive to install and
maintain.

C.1 Cost Analysis


During the cost analysis process, the many issues arose around the measure by which the
tangible itemized list would determine the intangible itemized list. The project teams
focused on the tangible items relevant to their disciplines, but were later found short due to
lack of expertise in the matters of the HVAC, electrical, and mechanical systems needed
throughout the building could not be quantified. Also, the cost schedule relevant to the City
of Norfolk remained elusive throughout the entirety of the cost analysis research; however,
the closest relevant cost schedule, the 2017 Unit Price Schedule for Fairfax County
Virginia, supplemented the necessary data for much of the transportation and
environmental teams’ needs. The drilling rates for the Geotechnical aspect were provided
by Dr Mekkawy from Fishburne Drilling, Inc., but the installation rates and prices for the
pre-stressed concrete piles were provided by allcostdata.info, a national comprehensive cost
database. The architectural and structural based costs were determined by extensive cost
research from different competitors; thus, making these sections more tenuous to account
for. LEED team already provided the prices for their specified items, requiring little to no
margin for inquiry. For a while, the roof of the building was the cause for the most concern,
as the option for a green roof was considered but then dropped, to be reconsidered at a later
date. Conflicting advice would remove the issue entirely due concerns for fire safety. On a
related note, the concern for the different types of fire proofing was briefly considered,
researched, and then dropped to focus on the need for fume hoods, a primary concern for
the tenants. Another major concern was how to account for the planetarium, due to the
specialized nature of its construction. Under request of the costumer, the planetarium would
cost an estimated and previously allotted sum of 1 million US dollars. Other notable
references consulted for this design, include the San Francisco 2016 Cost Schedule and July
2007 Structures Manual Design Guidelines.

Column splicing is designed to transfer loads from one column to another. Splices were done at zero moment points.
The point of inflection is where the moment is going from positive to negative resulting in a zero moment.
Illustration Below:

AIR QUALITY DESIGN


ASHRAE (62.1-2016) Calculation Procedure:
--Laboratory Hoods are classified as Air Class 4a, meaning the exhaust air cannot be recirculated.
--The Ventilation Rate Procedure was chosen since it dealt with parameters we already knew.

Vhz = RpPz + RaAz


where;
Vhz = airflow required in occupied space (cfm)
Rp = outdoor airflow required per person from Tale 6.2.2.1 (cfm/person)
Pz = zone population (person)
Ra = outdoor airflow rate per unit area from Table 6.2.2.1 (cfm/ft2)
Az = zone floor area (ft2)
Table 6.2.2.1 can be found in ASHRAE 62.1-2016
We will have different Rp and Ra values depending on the room type.
The Vhz was calculated for each room type.

This total was rounded to 20,420 cfm. This value is mainly for mechanical engineers in the decision
of an HVAC system, as well as for any energy analysis that may be required for the building, such as for
LEED analysis. A more intensive energy analysis is recommended using this value.
