Department of General Services
James Monroe Plaza – Repair of Precast Panels
Richmond, Virginia
 
For this project, HDH was commissioned to correct an emergency situation at the James Monroe Building where there was an imminent danger of the 2 ton precast panels at the plaza level falling off the building. This was due to their connections being improperly designed and there being no capacity designed into the fill slabs. HDH reviewed the situation, and once the problems were identified, re-designed the panel connections and the edge condition of the plaza to allow for the thermal expansion properties of the fill slab to prevent any such reoccurrence in the future. To accomplish this in an aesthetic manner, precast cover plates were designed to cover the necessary thru-bolt connection, which matched the existing panel aggregate and enhanced the general appearance of the building.
