  • Project Type : Structural Design
  • Year : 2022
  • Designer : Chrome Stone Structural
  • Location: Florida, USA
  • Project Timeline : 4 Weeks
  • Visualization : Chrome Stone Structural

Project Summary:

Location: Florida

Project Type: 2-story wood frame single family residence

Total Area: 8,448 sq.ft.

 

Structural Systems:

  • Gravity System: The primary structural support for the floors and roof is provided by prefabricated wood trusses. Timber beams and columns offer additional load-bearing capacity and structural stability.
  • Lateral System: The building’s resistance to lateral forces, such as wind and seismic activity, is achieved through the use of sheathed wood stud walls.
  • Foundation System: The house rests on a slab-on-grade foundation, combined with CMU (Concrete Masonry Unit) stem walls for additional support and isolated footings to distribute the building’s weight.

 

This combination of structural systems is commonly used in Florida residential construction, providing a balance of cost-effectiveness, ease of construction, and resilience to the local environmental conditions.
