There four, one story, commercial warehouses, 50,000sf total, in this project. The structural system is wood joists supported by wood bowstring trusses bearing on brick walls, and the foundation is reinforced concrete footings. Rehabilitation was required of this large area warehouse, that spans over one block along 4th Avenue in Brooklyn, after a partial collapse. Special design of deformed and out of plane trusses and lateral bracing were required in order to restore the rigidity of the roof system; new posts were introduced in order to reduce the span for the trusses and special braces were designed for the bearing walls.
