Conducted seismic analysis of the nitric acid tank farm expansion for Building PF-4 in
TA-55. Designed structure for tanks and piping support and anchorage.
Performed evaluation of Building TA-53-0006 (3-story reinforced masonry office building) and Building TA-21-1001 (unreinforced masonry one-story records storage warehouse) to requirements of FEMA-178. Recommended seismic upgrades for both structures and designed roof support repair for the records storage warehouse.
Conducted conceptual and detailed design of a Weapons Engineering Tritium Facility upgrade for rack storage of tritium canisters in Building TA-16-205A, including fabrication drawings and specification, and seismic analysis of the combined storage racks and existing on-grade reinforced concrete floor slab.
Designed a high-seismic performance storage vault for the Beryllium Technology Facility including seismic analysis, drilled pier foundation, reinforced masonry shear walls and light concrete filled steel deck roof.
