Third-Party Structural Review Services: 18 Temple Street – Hartford, CT
The Sage Allen Building Restoration

GM2 conducted an independent threshold peer review of the additions to the existing eight-story-high Sage Allen Building at 18 Temple Street in Hartford, CT. The new structure had to conform to the 1996 BOCA code with the Connecticut supplement. The braced frames in the additions had to be designed to resist the seismic lateral forces due to the new additions as well as the existing building. Foundations for braced frames included spread footings with post-tensioned tie-down rock anchors to prevent uplift under lateral load conditions. The review also involved a comprehensive check of the RAM model to determine the adequacy of all applied loads and structural elements.
