We also examined the inclusion of low-impact design (LID) techniques, such as bio-retention, rain gardens, and pervious pavements, for this particular site. Structural engineering services include structural design of the proposed 2,000-sft building addition, design of Anti-Terrorism Force Protection (ATFP) framing for replacement windows in the perimeter walls of the existing building, and design of minor framing and structure repair and reinforcement details for proposed modifications of the existing building. American Structurepoint's Structural Engineering Group also performed a seismic analysis in compliance with ASCE 31-03–“Seismic Evaluation of Existing buildings,” which supersedes the FEMA code on the one story Dental Clinic at Ft. Campbell US Army Base. This seismic analysis included a Tier 1 analysis as prescribed by ASCE 31 and as a result of the analysis the building was found to comply with the criteria of the analysis.
