Project Description:
The Sheraton Grand Hotel in downtown Sacramento, California consists of one basement level and 26 levels above grade. The lower 2 levels matched up with the adjacent retrofitted historical build to facilitate a ballroom and meeting rooms.The first four floors are 14,500 square feet. The 5th floor is stepped back to create a sun deck and pool area at the 4th floor.
The typical hotel levels consist of 8” thick post-tensioned slabs, approximately 11,500 square feet in size. All together there are 328,000 square feet of elevated slab.
A perimeter moment frame was used to provide the required shear elements for the structure. The suspended slabs were formed using aluminum truss flyers. The perimeter spandrel moment frame was formed using a hinged swing-up ganged beam form.
A typical schedule was for five days per floor and required all the trades involved to perform their work in the specific time allowed and turn the areas over to the subsequent trades to make the overall schedule durations. Crane time was schedule down to 15-minute intervals.
The vertical supports at the interior of the building consist of 1,040 columns.
