Dayton Children's Hospital Patient Tower - Structural Presentation & Tour (1.0 PDH)
Presenter: Benjamin Van De Weghe PE, Shell & Meyer
Join us for a tour of the still under construction new Dayton Children's Hospital Patient Care Tower. This is a new eight-story, 260,000 sf facility which will house the NICU and patient beds with future shell space for imaging and surgery. The presentation and site visit will focus on the structure of this wide-module concrete framed building including both gravity and lateral loading. Points of interest will include the tower crane foundations, efficient design of the concrete frame for efficient forming, steel framing of the entry and penthouse, and reinforcing of the existing structures.
