Project Description: For this assignment, I was given a plot of land with a building
foundation and base structure in Noblesville, Indiana, and instructed to design and build a
safe and efficient public library. Many property calculations and data analyses must first
be conducted in order to see if the land is suitable for commercial use. In order to create a
utilizable building, certain codes and regulations must be followed so that safety and
service are ensured for everyone. For the Keystone Library, I was able to successfully
incorporate the desired design principles so that the building could be open for public
usage. To create a stable and steady structure, I inserted beams and girders under each
ceiling, and columns to keep the building from collapsing. In order to create a visual half
of the roof above the first floor into a green roof that is accessible to the public, which
can be used for eating, reading, or relaxing. Stairs were also placed close to the middle of
the building so that access to the second floor is unrestricted at all times. When it comes
to design and structure, I placed normal library components, such as bookcases, a
reception desk, reading rooms with couches and tables, and office spaces. All
components and constraints present in my design allow for proper utilization and function
of a safe public library.

Floor Plan Design: Upon entrance through the revolving door, you first enter the
vestibule, which is used to prevent heat loss or gain. Then, you enter the building through
the double doors and notice a reception desk at the center of the building and bookshelf
arrangements throughout. As you walk to the left, you come upon two open-walled
bookrooms, and as you walk to the right you notice the stairs to the second floor as well
as the checkout counters. In the back right corner, a walled off reading/conference room
is present, with public bathrooms at the far side. When taking the stairs up to the second
floor, four office spaces for staff are present with a desk and small table in each. On the
other side, public bathrooms and an open-walled reading room are present with tables and
couches for reading, as well as a full view of the green roof. Two sets of double doors
open up to the green roof, which contains trees to benefit the environment, tables, and
benches for seating and relaxing. The design of my library is simple, yet efficient.

Code and Regulation Research Summary: For every commercial building or site, an
established set of codes are implemented in order to ensure safety and efficient
production. In order to find where the Keystone Library can be placed, one must first
reference the Noblesville, Indiana Zoning Map, because it shows the layout of all the land
and their purposes/uses. In order to build a structure, the rules and codes of the
International Building Code (IBC) must be followed, or the building may not be legally
acceptable for use. IBC classifications, such as occupancy group and construction type
serve as the main factors for the regulation of a building. Upon research, it was found that
the Keystone Library belongs in Occupancy Group A and uses Construction Type II.
Codes and regulations are very important for every structure so that they maintain safety
and stay up to date at all times.

GREEN ROOF

Roof Joist Design: Some calculations collected for the roof of the Keystone Library
include snow load, roof live load, dead load, and total loading. These calculations are
interpreted from a series of data collections and formulas that are assigned to specific
roof components. These factors are very important for the design of a structure, because
they help determine the maximum load the roof can withstand without collapsing and
make sure the customers stay safe at all times. For this specific roof, I implemented 14K1
exterior joists and 16K4 interior joists for the most efficient design possible. The interior
beams are designed to carry more weight than the exterior beams, therefore they need to
be larger. Beams will be placed every five feet across only half the roof, because the
other half is nonexistent due to the implementation of a green roof. These joists are a
proper fit for the building design due to their efficiency and low weight.

Structural Beam and Girder Calculations: For the flooring of the Keystone Library
second floor/green roof, certain beams and girders were chosen that were strong enough
to withhold certain loads, yet cheap enough to stay under the total budget. A large
contribution to which beams were chosen was the weight, because the heavier the beams
are, the more they cost. The larger the internal shear force, the larger and thicker the
beams will be due to the fact that heavier forces will be acting upon them. With the given
dead and live loading for the beams and girders from the Composite Floor Deck Load
Span Table, I was able to calculate certain factors, such as maximum moment, deflection,
and shear strength. Therefore, for this project, I chose to implement W18x35 beams and
W27x84 girders. These specific beams allow for the best design due to their cheap cost,
lightness, and ability to withstand large amounts of weight.

Wastewater Discharge Calculations: Given certain constraints and details of the


Keystone Library sewer system, I was able to determine whether it was working properly
or if it needed adjustments to ensure efficiency. The discovered distance from the
structure to the sewer main was 435’, and all conditions within that length of pipe must
be working correctly in order for the building to be open to the public. Water pressure is
not needed for wastewater disposal to prevent clogging and ensure the efficient
transportation of waste material, therefore a minimum slope is required. The minimum
slope for an un-pumped sewer pipe is 2%, so the Keystone sewer system meets that
requirement. If the library had a slope of under 2%, design constraints and construction
would need to be done to install a pump, but the pre-existing pipe slope calls for nothing
to be done. The Keystone Library sewer system is qualified to be used by the public.

Water Pressure Calculations: As part of the Keystone Library design and construction
procedure, I was assigned to determine whether the flow of water from the tower to the
building was working efficiently. Given the pipe length from the main to the water tower,
pipe diameter and material, water flow rate, elevation, and the Hazen-Williams Formula,
I was able to calculate the dynamic pressure of the pipe. In order for a pipeline not to
need a pump, the water dynamic pressure must exceed 40psi, but the Keystone pipeline
only maxes out at around 36psi. This concludes that a pump is needed in order to create
an efficient and steady flow of water from the tower to the library in order to meet the
public needs. If it weren’t for this procedure, the water flow to the Keystone Library
would have been majorly ineffective, because the pressure was not high enough during
the pre-existing conditions to provide proper water usage to the customers.

5
Storm Water Runoff: For the 6.67 acre site holding the Keystone Library, I calculated
that for a 10 year/1 hour storm, there would be 0.53 cubic feet/second of runoff water,
and for a 100 year/1 hour storm, there would be 0.99 cubic feet/second of runoff water. In
order to provide the highest safety measures possible, the Keystone Library should be
planned for a 100 year storm so that conditions don’t get too bad. One way to decrease
potential damage and limit runoff is to build a retention pond. This way, all the water
flows into the pond instead of flooding the site or building. I calculated that for this
particular site, a 5 foot deep, 0.267 acre pond is reasonable. Storm water runoff
calculations are very important so that the safety of the site, the building, and the people
are preserved.

1ST 2ND
FLOOR FLOOR

Conclusions: The Keystone Library renovation called for the implementation of


multiple sustainable and energy efficient components. In order to conserve high levels of
energy, I converted the half of first floor roof into a fully accessible green roof, which
reduces water runoff as well as noise and air pollution, and creates more open space for
public usage. Trees were planted on the green roof to create a positive environmental
impact. I also incorporated a vestibule at the entrance of the library to help prevent heat
loss and gain inside the main building. These features help recover for the high losses of
energy from the large amount of windows on the building. Although this was a major
design challenge, the main challenge overall was designing the library with correct
constraints and components allowing it to have a high rate of efficiency. If one aspect or
detail of the construction went wrong, the library would be unsafe for usage, so I made
sure to be as careful and precise as possible in order to ensure a successful design. When
it came to placing components into the space, I had to make sure they were easily
accessible to the customers and that I had a reasonable amount of space for them to be
used properly. Although I did manage to create a successful design, I could’ve created the
design with much more detail and efficiency. If I had more time to design my library, I
would have increased the size of the building to create more occupancy space and created
more detail components to enhance the overall look. Adding extra space and design detail
increases the efficiency and success of the library, because it allows for a more customer-
friendly environment and ensures that all necessary components are present for the
building to run properly.
