Civil Engineering & Engineering Mechanics Modular Living: Step into Legoland Charlie Henry Renner, Abraham Oh, Katherine Koziol, Amin Mojarad, Isabella Citera, Tes S DeJaeger Advisor: Tom Panyoditi This project is a five-story modular residential building located in Brooklyn, New York made entirely from recycled shipping containers. A modular approach is utilized to highlight the benefits from a schedule , cost, environmental, safety, and structural standpoint. Although modular construction is less traditional, it has promising results as it is highly customizable, iterative and sustainable. The geotechnical investigation, the relatively low chance of earthquakes and hurricanes, and the need for more efficient housing in New York City makes Brooklyn an ideal location for modular construction using shipping containers.

Panayotidi The Stormsurge Protection project focuses on the design of a multi-purpose park located in Miami, Florida along Biscayne Bay. The park incorporates individual components that create a community space as well as work to protect surrounding communities from storm surge. With climate change on the rise, storm surge intensity and stormwater precipitation are on the rise making most neighborhoods in Miami highly susceptible to flooding during storms. The first component of our redesign is a pedestrian overpass over the existing A1 Freeway that runs along the water in downtown Miami. The overpass will be designed as a park connecting the residents in Brickell to Alice Wainwright Park spanning 280 feet over the A1 freeway. The second component is an amphitheater located in the southeast corner of the park. The amphitheater will have an in-built water filtration system at its center, which will retain and filter any excess stormwater and outfall it back into the ocean. Finally, the park itself will be designed such that the hills act as a natural protective barrier against high tides and flooding. The park will be graded so that it slopes towards the amphitheater. Moreover, ditches will be dug out from behind the hills, leading towards the amphitheater, to ensure that all the excess water is contained in the park system.

Civil Engineering & Engineering Mechanics A New Home for NYCFC Jillian Busetto, Patrick Chang, Sarah Marshall, Alexander Moreno, Natali Petani Advisor: Tom Panayotidi As the current New York City Football Club’s (NYCFC) primary location of play is in the Bronx at Yankee Stadium, this project seeks to produce a design for a soccer stadium in Queens, NY that will serve as the new home for NYCFC. The club was founded in May 2013 and while barely a decade old, the club has had noteworthy performance on both on the national and international stage. Despite the team’s success and the fact that New York is ranked fourth by ESPN in the top-ten markets for the MLS fan base, NYCFC lacks a dedicated stadium. Although Yankee Stadium can accommodate soccer matches, it has had difficulties serving both the Yankees and NYCFC adequately. The new stadium will be purpose-built for the club, allowing and supporting the development of a proper soccer experience at home games. The stadium is to be located on an undeveloped plot of land in Willets Point across the street from the New York Mets’ Citi Field, where the MTA 7 line is conveniently located. The stadium is a two-tier exposed steel structure with a cantilevered roof that can accommodate approximately 32,200 fans. The column, beam, seating and stair layouts were initially designed in AutoCAD to ensure that the design made logistical sense and met egress requirements before importing it into SAP to perform structural design. To design the steel skeleton, load calculations were performed and the appropriate load combinations were applied to the structure in SAP2000. Preliminary member sizing calculations were performed, and initial steel member design was iterated upon for the members that failed in the SAP capacity check. Reinforcement for the floor, seat slabs, and precast concrete seating deck was designed by extracting the maximum positive and negative moment and shear experienced by each slab type. To determine the type of foundation needed to support the stadium, approximate soil properties of the Flushing Meadows area were deduced from previous studies of the area, academic studies, building code regulations, and existing foundation designs. The approximated soil properties were then used to determine each layer’s corresponding bearing capacity. With this and the calculated loads that the soil would be supporting, a dynamic model was created to output the number of piles and their spatial feasibility along with the amount of settlement created for various combinations of pile depth and diameter. The resulting foundation design includes 960 8-inch high displacement driven piles. A SolidWorks model served to construct the physical models, as each part of the assembly was converted into a drawing to be manufactured using either a laser cutter or 3D printer; and, a Revit model allowed for virtual reality visualizations, specifically a compelling 4D time-lapse phasing model of the entire construction process. Revit 5D quantity takeoffs were used in tandem with RSMeans data to approximate the cost of construction, which amounted to $180 M. Construction sequencing for the project was optimized using the critical path method and a discounted cash flow analysis was conducted to determine time to recoup the investment. Finally, to minimize the project’s environmental impact, planning considered real engineering innovations such as VERIFI in-transit concrete management systems and SCM replacements. 17
