annotation of structure:
York
Place Hotel is a new five storey 37 bedroom hotel in Leeds City Centre for City
Retreats Ltd. The site, 23 – 25A York Place, is approximately 20m by 30m in
area.
As recommended in geotechnical interpretative
report, the foundations are to be constructed as piled foundations by Arup’s
to bear onto the weak mudstone. The foundation sizes have been calculated based
on a recommended safe bearing pressure of 250 kN/m˛ for pad foundations.
A reinforced concrete retaining wall
approximately 1m highs, will be constructed adjacent to both
22
York Place party wall and 26 York Place party wall. This will retain the
basement levels of the adjacent properties.
The current proposals allow for a 150mm thick reinforced concrete ground bearing
slab.
The
superstructure shall be designed to meet the performance requirements detailed
in relevant National Structural Concrete Specification
The available structural zones are shown on the Architect’s drawings.
B&E
drawings showing a reinforced pre-cast concrete superstructure from VST
system with flat VST slab solution are provided to show the design
intent. Two transfer levels at ground and first floor are in that project
developed. B&E drawings showing system of reinforced pre – cast concrete
shear walls and RC in situ columns are provided to show design intent. The
current proposal allows for frame action to resist the torsion induced due to
the shear.
Arup
drawings showing a steel framed roof structure are provided to show the design
intent.
A
steel frame has been developed to minimize the weight of the roof structure.
Internal flights of stairs are to be provided as a pre-cast concrete stairs.
Refer
to Architect’s drawings for details.
