Crossroads Business Park is a multilevel office building constructed out of steel framing and concrete .
It is an example of using finite element modeling to advance design. The previous concept done by another engineering firm required 29 bays of steel moment frames and 10 shear walls. Although moment frames are preferred due to their seamless integration in the building, they are a costly lateral system. Shear walls are also not preferred since the wall must be continuously solid to be most effective. HSA was able to eliminate all moment frames and reduce the shear walls to 9.
