The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers AIT Barracks facility in Monterey, Ca is a four story, load-bearing, cold-formed steel structure that required a number of outside the box solutions to keep the project on time and on budget. From high seismic loading, antiterrorism requirements and a mix of cold-formed steel, masonry and structural steel, the project encompassed several very difficult design challenges. What makes this structure unique are the numerous lateral and vertical design considerations in addition to a massive coordination effort between trades through BIM and panelization. From a design perspective, the masonry wall was required to meet United Facilities Criteria (UFC) antiterrorism requirements where cold-formed steel wall studs could not resist the prescribed design loads. Adding to the complexity, the structure is located in a high seismic region which required a large numbe
