The Mass Tower

We are required to make a tower thatmade my wood blocks.The Tower should be including thewindow and the door which meanswe have to keep the space during thetime when we built it!

FoundationOur group decided to make the shapeas a circle because circle is verystable and we keep the side open forthe door as image shows.

Process:

We uses structural as show on thesketching that the frame is able tosupport the weight on each block.

Additional, in order to close top ofthe tower we move each a little bitclose to the central of the circlewhich shows on the sketch.

We perspective that the total featureof the tower will looks like a cone!

4

Problems:When we built the tower to the fifth floor werealize that the building is not as stable aswe wish because if every blocks is directedto the central of the building and they willtrend into the middle and falls down beforewe close the top.

Solution:We decrease the radius of the circle even thetower may become lower than before.

Challenge:

We leave a hue space for the ‘door’ thatmakes us struggling to connect each sidetogether.

Solution:One man added one block on each side andthe other man have to support the towerotherwise it will falls down.

Finishing:After we connect the both side togetherthere is nothing struggling for the processuntil we saw the project built by othergroup which is taller than us.

As the image shows we add two blockseach and cross together which is able toincrease the height of the tower but lessweight occur.

5

Testing:After all we tried to make a window at theother side of the tower.

Initially, we tired to move one block in themiddle out and find that there is not anyeffect for the stablish.

We move the block one by one until the‘window’ touch the ground.

It looks like the building support by the threefulcrum and it is able to make the projectstable.

Balsa Tower

Main Material: Balsa Wood

Task : Cut the Balsa Wood into 20-40pice by the cutting knife then connectingthose balsa wood to build up a frame inorder to make a tower as high aspossible.

Preparation:In order to cut those Balsa in the samesize and as much as possible, i mark bothside of the wood and the width is2.5mm each.

Hardship:I dont have any equipment tohold the wood and the rule the isnot long enough so that it is hardto cut them in the same size.Some of them is not able tomake the frame which can brseen from the image.Finally, there are 29 pieces ofBolsa wood are able to make theproject.

8

Starting:We plan to make four rectanglegrame at first and there is apiece of wood across it whichable absorb more compressionforce from the frame.

We tried to uses Pva to stick eachpieces of Balsa together, however,we find that it is not strongenough so we decide to use tetape to cover the connection pointwhich can make it stronger.

Improving:By follow the suggestion fromthe tutor, we added another pieceof wood cross the frame.

9

Processing：We realize to make that trangle base is stable and ablto save a lot of time so we change our planning.

We put three frame together but the three connectionare not in the same level so we cut some extra Bolsa.

The basement is really stable so we decide to putanother triangle on the basement and it looks so farso good.

BY the success we have, we put a convert triangleframe on it and the game which is anti Physical LawMakes us almost give up.

10

The only chance to increasing the height of theproject si put single piece of he wood.

Moreover, we have to use another piece of woodto hold the one which almost broken.

Even we put one on the basement in order tomake it keep standing on the ground

Testing:

We slowly break every pieces of Balsa we candestroy expect the three main pieces of wood andthe one connect in the middle..

Lecture 3Olympic Constructs —Alan Pert

2012cOlympic Park was development in a“brownfield” area of London_Queen Elizabeth Olympic ParkLandscapeStadium: Fabric structural

ActivityLot 6 Cafe

The building is a typical concrete structure withcolumn frame and concrete frame elements,moreover it is supported by bricks columns.The footing of the building might be the shallowfootings.The main material uses is concrete, bricks andglasses.

The concrete frame system is stable so that it isable to leave big area for enclosing elements asglass that enough sunshine will come into thebuilding.

13

Underground carpark & South Lawn

The first interesting things we find that is the treesare related to the building.

The ceiling of the entrance uses kind of latticeconcrete frame which is much stronger thanoriginal one.

Moreover the material i think is pre-caste concrete.

The car park is supported by some curve concretecolumn tht makes those column can be supportedthe fore from the top uniformly. In addition, theshape is not only stable but leave more space forparking .

14

Stairs on west end of Union House

The Stairs is totally metal frame work.In order to make a stair in limit area, the builderdecide to material as metal because is strong andlight.

There are three supporting points on the ground andbuilding, moreover, some beams are supported bysome cables in for keep the stairs stale.

Triangle is a really stable shape that is why they useit.

15

North court Union House

It is a fabric system and the material it use is kindof fabric material which is water proofing.

The Fabric is supported by some cables in themiddle and some cables at the edge of the fabricthat connect tot the column stand on the side insertto the ground. I think all of those cables aresupported tension force and columns will be pulledby force.

The aim of the building is provide a place that noraining and having enough sunshine. Obviously,traditional housing are not able to provide suchplace for students. Moreover, the cost of thebuilding is also less normal construction work.

16

Beaurepaire Centre Pool

From the image e can clearly find that the buildingis frame work. There are some long curve beamsupport the ceiling of the building. And this kind ofsystem usually used for open large area such asstadium.

The main material it use is concrete, timber, steeland glass.

17

Oval Pavilion

It is the bricks frame system, that the building is oldand not such big so that the designer decided to usebrick as the main material to build it.

From the top of the wall we can find the arrange ofbricks are different because bricks arrange invertical could support more vertical force.

18

New Melbourne School of design underconstruction

It is new building of the school and the it is be builtas steel frame system and material it use is variousbut it should br including steel, reinforce concrete,glasses and timber.

The most interesting structural elements of thisbuilding is the cantilever system. The force issupport at the building touch the ground.

The foundation of the building i think it should bedeep foundations because of its special constructionsystem, the foundation should be very strong.

The joins is fixed joints mostly and those metalexpressed outside will be remove later.

19

Old Geology South Lecture Theatre EntryStructure

The same as New Melbourne School of design, theentry structure is a cantilever structure and it ismade of concrete and bricks. The Two column canhold the whole building by tenson force.

20

Frank Tate Pavillion

Obviously, it is a cantilever structure as well,however, the material it use is different which istimber mostly which means the force it can take isnot as much as steel frame. So it uses two morecolumns to keep the structure more stable.

The designer did not decide to use other materialsmight hope to relate the circumstance of the gardenand the pool.

Glossary:

Moment: In physics, moment relates to the perpendicular distance from a point to a line or a surface, and is derived from the mathematical concept of moments.[1] Itis frequently used in combination with other physical quantities as in moment of inertia, moment of force, moment of momentum, magnetic moment and so on.(wiki)

Strip footing: A Strip Footing is a relatively small strip of concrete placed into a trench and reinforced with steel. The footing supports the load of the exterior wallsand any interior wall that is load bearing or supports a slab such as for a bathroom. Strip footings can be used for both traditional timber and concrete floors. They areone of the most common footings used in Australia.

Retaining Wall: Retaining walls are structures designed to restrain soil to unnatural slopes. They are used to bound soils between two different elevations often inareas of terrain possessing undesirable slopes or in areas where the landscape needs to be shaped severely and engineered for more specific purposes like hillsidefarming or roadway overpasses.(wiki)

Slab on ground: A shallow foundation is a type of foundation which transfers building loads to the earth very near the surface, rather than to a subsurface layer or arange of depths as does a deep foundation. Shallow foundations include spread footing foundations, mat-slab foundations, slab-on-grade foundations, pad foundations,rubble trench foundations and earthbag foundations.(wiki)

Pad Footing: A concrete pad footing is the simplest and cost effective footing used for the vertical support and the transfer of building loads to the ground. Thesefootings are "isolated" i.e. there is no connection between them. They are also reinforced.

Activity on Week 4

The scale is one of the most important elements ofthe construction documentation.

The first construction documentation is the scale of1:250 which shows the bird view of the wholestructure. It shows that the scale can compress thesize of the paper which is easy for people to viewthe whole structure.

The second one the is scale of 1:5 which showssome details of the structure.Because the size issmall and it is more relate to the true size so thatpeople can get more accurate information on smallscale documentation.

24

The annotation of on the side of the constructiondocumentation is also very important .The firstimage shows that those annotation provide whoresponse for the the designing and what is the scale,date and so on.

The second annotation provide the description ofthose material Abbrev. Which help us to get moreinformation from the documentation.

Glossary:Joist： joist is one of the horizontal supporting members that run between foundations, walls, or beams to support a ceiling or floor. They may be made of wood,engineered wood, steel, or concrete. Typically, a beam is bigger than a joist and joists are often supported by beams laid out in repetitive patterns.(wiki)

Girder: A girder is a support beam used in construction.[1] Girders often have an I-beam cross section for strength, but may also have a box shape, Z shape or otherforms. Girder is the term used to denote the main horizontal support of a structure which supports smaller beams. A girder is commonly used many times in thebuilding of bridges, and planes.(wiki)

Steel Decking: Steel decking lies atop joists, interlocking to create a light, strong, virtually maintenance-free deck surface. You can compare two types of aluminumdecking, Lock-Dry and NextDeck decking, made by FSI Home Products in Cullman, Alabama.

Concrete Plank: Concrete plank are used in a wide range of buildings as floor/roof components. The precast concrete slabs are cut to length for each project.Hollowcore is frequently used in residential, commercial, industrial, institutional and other applications.(wiki)

Span: a section between two intermediate supports(wiki)

Spacing：spacing is supporting elements depends on the spacing capabilities of the supported elements.

Activity

Model Making

The part we decide to make is the kitchen and plantroom of the building. The structure got two levelsand the level one is concrete frame system but thesecond floor is the timer frame system.

Before we start to make the model, we draw thestructure of the part at first and analysis whatmaterials and tools we should use.

28

Finally , we decided to use cardboard and balsa tomake the model .Furthermore, we use cut knife,Pva glue ruler and pen to help us finish the model.

Firstly, we measure the dimension of thosematerials and plan how to uses them moreefficiently.However, we find that those material are notenough to make the model in 1:20. So we decide tomake the model in 1:40.

We measure and cut materials into pieces we need.For lack of materials we think that Balsa would bethe wall for this property.

The double wall we use can make the structuremore stable.

29

After that the firs floor is finished by cover thecardboard.

At the second floor, we plan to build the back walland side wall at first, and we uses some columns tokeep the back wall stable, in addition, twocardboard strips connect walls and the ground ofthe second which take compression force.

The roof structure is different from the first floorbecause there is no double walls to support thecardboard and it should be supported by severalbalsa timber columns, however the time is nearlyrunning out so that we decide to uses a piece ofbalsa ti support the roof.

Glossary

Stud: a vertical member in construction

Axial Load: Axial loading is defined as a structural frame system that is a combination of primarily vertical and horizontal members that are designed to transmitapplied loads to the ground. An axial load is termed as a force with its resultant passing through the centroid of a particular section and being perpendicular to theplane of the section. In short, an axial load creates a force parallel to the axis of an object.Nogging: term used for the filling in-between wall framing in buildings(wiki)

Bucking:In practice, buckling is characterized by a sudden failure of a structural member subjected to high compressive stress, where the actual compressive stress atthe point of failure is less than the ultimate compressive stresses that the material is capable of withstanding.(wiki)

Lintel: A lintel can be a load-bearing building component, a decorative architectural element, or a combined ornamented structural item. It is often found over portals,doors, windows, and fireplaces.(wiki)

Seasoned Timber: drying, to adjust the moisture so the timber is appropriate for the intended use

31

Workshop

In the workshop each group will design andconstruct a structure that must 10000mm. And themaximum height if the structure will be advisedbefore you commence structure.

Each group have different materials and what wehave is two piece of timber and one piece ofplywood.

Because of the property of those woods, our groupdecide to use timber as the main material of theframe work, and the plywood will cover the bridgeon the top.

We plan to made two separate bridge frame andconnect them by the plywood. So that the forcefrom the machine will transfer to the fourfootings.

32

During the process we overcome a lot ofdifficulties such as how to saw the timber as fast aspossible and the type of joints we used. Of course,we choice fixed joints which is more stable thanothers.

Before we saw the machine we don't know how totesting this stability of the structure and we don'tknow there are just the side of the the structure canattach the ground. So we added more supporting onthe structure.

The teacher said it should be works well, howeverit experiences catastrophic failure very quickly.The reason is there is a knots on our timber, and itbreak follow slope of grain.

That emphasis that how important the quality of thematerial is even they looks similar.

Activity:

In this tutorial we present on the model makingwe did last week and the full size presentation.

The model making other groups did are mostlystairs structure and the main material they use iscardboard. From the model we can clearly find thathow those stairs be supported. There are fewconcrete wall under the stairs which support theweight of stairs.

From the site visit presentation we also get a lot ofinformation that we did not get from our site visit.Which meas different construction plant gotdifferent structure frame and different way slovethe problem.

35

The topography of the Newport is a flat land whichcan build the footing system at first which isdifferent from the Edge water. Before they build thehosing they have to use formatube to avoid the soilto move and build the retaining wall for the samereason.

Moreover, the structure of the building in Newportis the timber frame work but for the building od theEdge Water they use steel which is steel structure tobuild the first floor. I think it is affected by the costof the whole construction.

Glossary

Rafter: A type of beam that supports the roof of a building. In home construction rafters are typically made of wood. Exposed rafters can be a feature of traditionalroof styles.(wiki)

Eave: The eave is the bottom edge of a roof. The eaves normally project beyond the side of the building forming an overhang to throw water clear of the walls andmay be highly decorated as part of an architectural style such as the Chinese dougong bracket systems.(wiki)

Purlin: In architecture, structural engineering or building, a purlin (or historically purline, purloyne, purling, perling) is any longitudinal, horizontal, structuralmember in a roof except a type of framing with what is called a crown plate. In traditional Timber framing there are three basic types of purlin: purlin plate, principalpurlin and common purlin.(wiki)

Alloy: An alloy is a mixture or solid solution composed of a metal and another element.(wiki)

Cantilever: A cantilever is a beam anchored at only one end.(wiki)

Soffit: the underside of a ceiling to fill the space above the kitchen cabinets, at the corner of the ceiling and wall

Portal Frame: Portal frame construction is a method of building and designing structures, primarily using steel or steel-reinforced precast concrete although they canalso be constructed using laminated timber such as glulam. (wiki)

Top Chord: The top beams in a truss are called top chords and are generally incompression, the bottom beams are called bottom chords and are generally in tension,the interior beams are called webs, and the areas inside the webs are called panels.(wiki)

Glossary:

Drip: Dripping liquid

Vapour barrier: A vapor barrier (or vapour barrier) is any material used for damp proofing, typically a plastic or foil sheet, that resists diffusion of moisture throughwall, ceiling and floor assemblies of buildings and of packaging. Technically, many of these materials are only vapor retarders as they have varying degrees ofpermeability.(wiki)

Gutter: a narrow trough or duct which collects rainwater from the roof of a building and diverts it away from the structure, typically into a drain.

Parapet: A parapet is a barrier which is an extension of the wall at the edge of a roof, terrace, balcony, walkway or other structure. Where extending above a roof, itmay simply be the portion of an exterior wall that continues above the line of the roof surface, or may be a continuation of a vertical feature beneath the roof such asa fire wall or party wall.[1] Parapets were originally used to defend buildings from military attack, but today they are primarily used as guard rails and to prevent thespread of fires.(wiki)

Flashing: Flashing refers to thin pieces of impervious material installed to prevent the passage of water into a structure from a joint or as part of a weather resistantbarrier (WRB) system.(wiki)

Insulation: reduce the rate of something else

Sealant: A sealant may be viscous material that has little or no flow characteristics and stay where they are applied or thin and runny so as to allow it to penetrate thesubstrate by means of capillary action.

Activity:

Each student will br allocated a 1:5 detail from theOval Pavillon construction documentation set.

The detail i get is the roof structure of the functionroom and it is located at the middle of the building.

Then walk to the Oval Pavillion ad located mydetail.

Because it is hard to see my detail in the actualbuilding so i decide to take some photo with thoselocation having similar frame system and material.

The structure shows from the picture is timer framestructure and the material it use mostly is timber.However, for insulation noisy and heat, it should besome insulation materials inside the wall suchthermal insulation and acoustic insulation materials.

41

When we come into the function room we can clearsee the wall is made by plasterboard and from thedetails it shows it is double impact and fire resistantplasterboard.The ceiling above is made both acoustic insulationand thermal insulation which can keep the room ina comfort temperature and without noisy.

After we back to the class we start to draw the 1:1detail. Because the detail we have is compression to1:10 so we have to measure the dimension andthem times 10 on every numbers.

Activity: Off Campus

The off campus is located at west Melbourne at thebuilding is used for residential as apartment. Thebuilding is totally in 8 levels including 2 forbasement. The main structure of the building isconcrete frame.

At the second floor there are some yellow metalcolumns is used for built the wall to separate roomsindifferent function which is the same as timber wesaw before.

The concrete slabs is used for water proofing, Theleft side is in side of the room and the right side isbalcony so it has to do some waterproof working.

45

When er arriving at the bath room we can findthose massive tubes which including gas, water,electronic, From the image we can see the differentbetween hot water tube and electrical line.They have different safeguard procedures to protectthem.

On the ither floor the concrete slab have just beenput on so that they have to use some tools tosupport the slab. The manager said that everyvertical walls and columns are pre-cast concrete sothat we can find the touch point is not natural.

46

If we close to the concrete we can find the wholeceiling is made by several square concrete slabs,moreover there some whole on the slabs which isused for more those concrete easily.

This part of the concrete is still wet and themanger said it is used for testing the strength ofconcrete.

They put the metal stick into the whole and start toinsert concrete until the concrete on the metal stickarrive the place they need which means the strengthof the concrete is suit.

47

We are arriving at the basement of the building andi realize the material they use for build the ceilingis not concrete but piece if mental. The answer i getfrom the manger is it is for save money, becausethey have to control the cost it will spend and thedon't think it looks any different.

During the site visit we go to the Oval Pavilionagain and this time is only for outside viewing. Theimage shows two timber structure building but thearrangement of timber are different.

I also look at the window structure system which isalso supported b the timber structure.

51

The water proofing of my detail is the flashing onthe top of the roof and at the connection betweenFascia and the flashing is a water proof structurewhich is called over lap.

Glossary

Shear Wall: In structural engineering, a shear wall is a structural system composed of braced panels (also known as shear panels) to counter the effects of lateral loadacting on a structure.(wiki)

Soft Story: A soft story building is a multi-storey building in which one or more floors have windows, wide doors, large unobstructed commercial spaces, or otheropenings in places where a shear wall would normally be required for stability as a matter of earthquake engineering design. (wiki)

Braced Frame: A Braced Frame is a structural system which is designed primarily to resist wind and earthquake forces. Members in a braced frame are designed towork in tension and compression, similar to a truss. Braced frames are almost always composed of steel members.(wiki)

Fascia: Fascia is an architectural term for a frieze or band running horizontally and situated vertically under a roof edge, or which forms the outer surface of acornice, visible to an observer. Typically consisting of a wooden board or sheet metal.(wiki)

Corrosion: Corrosion is the gradual destruction of materials (usually metals) by chemical reaction with its environment.(wiki)

IEQ: Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) is most simply described as the conditions inside a building.
