RAJYALAKSHMI (RAJI) MAREPALLI

Santa Anita Community Center:

• Designed gravity systems in RAM SS for three buildings and a canopy, including steel beams, columns, and connections, and performed lateral design using reinforced masonry walls and steel cantilever systems. Conducted mat foundation modeling, analysis, and reinforcement design using SAFE.
• Prepared comprehensive calculation packages, developed structural details, and addressed plan check comments. Facilitated construction administration by coordinating with the site team.
  

West Jordan Data Center Expansion:

• Designed steel joists, columns, masonry walls, and shallow foundations for a one-story development.
  

Ontario Convention Center:

• Modeled, analyzed, and designed structural steel gravity and SCBF lateral systems for the expansion of ballroom area, and two new exhibit hall buildings using RAM SS and ETABS. Designed pile foundations for the new structures.
  

Seattle Genetics Non-Structural Elements:

• Designed and detailed three-tier steel utility racks, equipment anchorage (e.g., boilers, tanks, and chiller skids), and seismic bracing for pipes and ducts. Coordinated with client through weekly submittals.
  

Adventist Health Hospital NPC-4D Upgrades:

• Conducted inventory creation, permit overlay preparation, deficiency identification, and seismic compliance calculations in accordance with HCAI and PIN 68 guidelines.
  

LAUSD Roosevelt High School:

• Performed analysis and design of reinforced masonry retaining walls per code standards. Coordinated with DSA, supported construction administration by reviewing RFIs and submittals.
  

• Developed a knowledge management system by analyzing seismic design data from 37 projects to guide new designs, identifying trends in seismicity, floor area, lateral systems, and geometry.

• Contributed to the Mumbai Elevated Metro Rail Project by conducting lateral wind load analyses, automating design iterations, and designing bridge piers and foundations using STAAD Pro.
• Assessed pile capacities and supervised diaphragm wall construction activities for the Lucknow Underground Metro Rail Project, gaining exposure to top-down construction, TBM operations, and soil stabilization techniques.
