The parking garage is a post-tensioned concrete slab system built using an unconventional construction sequence. This keeps the integrity of the perimeter cantilevered gravity system protected while the lateral system is repairable after a major seismic event. The casino structure’s innovative steel lateral force resisting system utilizes rocking braced frames and Krawinkler fuses integrated into Vierendeel trusses to produce a performance-based seismic design.
