General Atomics Sorrento Valley Flood Wall
Kelsey Structural is performing the structural design of a new site flood wall for General Atomics (GA) in San Diego, CA. Recent flooding in the Sorrento Valley area of San Diego has prompted GA to construct cantilever flood walls around several of their buildings to prevent flooding of the buildings and protect the tenant services being performed. The walls consist of cantilever concrete-masonry unit construction with concrete foundations and required careful design for the high flood water pressures coupled with low resisting forces for sliding and overturning design. Deepened keys were required to help resist the sliding forces.
