FORTH Hotel at 760 Ralph McGill

The building’s exterior is wrapped in a striking “diagrid” constructed of exposed cast-in-place, mild-reinforced concrete columns that were carefully coordinated with the architectural vision to create the facade’s diamond pattern.
Visible concrete construction joints and intersections with other structural elements were thoughtfully detailed to achieve an aesthetically pleasing and structurally sound result.
The cast-in-place concrete tower includes three subterranean parking levels designed using one-way slab system spanning to mild reinforced beams and post-tensioned girders.
The hotel floors are designed with flat plate post-tensioned concrete slabs spanning 32 feet.
