< CLICK > < CLICK >

-higher strength and stiffness compared to other structural materials
< CLICK > < CLICK > -higher strength and stiffness compared to other structural materials -stays straight and true, preventing cracks due to shrinking -non combustible -does not warp, split, rot over time. -heavy and expensive -has tendency to corrode, expensive treatments need to be considered -slender and exposed steel work may be used to good architectural effects -steel is formed into sections of efficient shape to minimize weight and make optimal use of expensive materials

easy material to work with-
< CLICK > < CLICK > easy material to work with- readily available as a natural product from renewable resources- Low energy system of construction- building can be deconstructable or relocatable- has a wide range of structural uses and appealing- finishes and can be reused many times stable material which does not conduct heat and cold- not as strong as steel- affected by termites and rot- Flammable- problems rising from shrinks, warp, splits and twists-

The structure that we’ll look into will be as follows;
< CLICK > The selection of a generic type structure is based on a number of factors. The most important of which are; scale, which determines the spans involved; internal planning, which dictates the nature of the internal spaces required; and external treatment. The final selection will be determined by the issues of cost and technical feasibility. The structure that we’ll look into will be as follows; >CLICK ON THUMBNAILS< POSTS / BEAMS TRUSSES SPACE FRAME PORTAL FRAME

POSTS / BEAMS Brief intro -seen in most architectural structures
< CLICK > >CLICK ON THUMBNAILS< TRUSSES SPACE FRAME PORTAL FRAME POSTS / BEAMS Brief intro -seen in most architectural structures -consist of horizontal spanning elements supported on vertical columns or walls. -Subdivided into 2 categories- skeleton frame and panel structure. Skeleton frame A network of beams and columns which support floor slabs and roof cladding, and to which wall cladding is attached. Considerable freedom is available for the matter of internal planning. Both the internal partition and exterior walls are non-load bearing. Large wall free space can therefore be created. Panel structures An arrangement of structural walls and horizontal panels. It imposes greater constraints on planning freedom than skeleton framing. NEXT >>

POSTS / BEAMS Characteristics of posts and beams structures
< CLICK > >CLICK ON THUMBNAILS< TRUSSES SPACE FRAME PORTAL FRAME POSTS / BEAMS Characteristics of posts and beams structures -horizontal elements are subjected to bending-type internal forces (gravitational load). -requires structural materials to be capable of resisting both tension and compression (e.g. steel, reinforced concrete, timber) Advantages - Simple and therefore cheap to construct Disadvantages -larger amount of materials are required to support a given load which are unnecessary in other types of structure. Thus it is an inefficient type of structure. <<PREVIOUS <END>

< CLICK > >CLICK ON THUMBNAILS< POSTS / BEAMS SPACE FRAME PORTAL FRAME TRUSSES Brief intro -a braced framework of ties, beams or bars usually arranged in a series of triangles, as for the support of roofs. Characteristics of trusses -2 basic types -main difference being that in one, the principle elements are spaced close together and carry the roof cladding directly. In the other, they are located at fairly wide spacing and are linked by a secondary system of elements to which the cladding is attached. Advantages -wide variety of roof geometry in elevational forms; flat, mono-pitch, duo-pitch and curved. -relative simplicity and low cost in analyzing and fabrication. Disadvantages -a vertical load applied is not shared throughout the structure. -labour intensive, rising in labour cost. <END>

SPACE FRAME Brief intro
< CLICK > >CLICK ON THUMBNAILS< POSTS / BEAMS TRUSSES PORTAL FRAME Brief intro -3 dimensional triangulated frame work for enclosing space in which all members are interconnected and act as a single entity. Characteristics of space frame -vertical load applied to any point will be distributed through all the other elements and thus to all of the supports. Advantages -Easy installation of mechanical and electrical services and air handling ducts within the structural depth. Thus greatly reducing or even eliminating the need for secondary steel work. -failure of one or a limited number of elements does not necessarily lead to overall collapse of structure. -highly modular structures assembled from components that are almost exclusively factory made. -due to modular nature, space grids may be extended without difficulty and even taken down and reassembled else where. -great choice in the location of supports. Within reason, space grids can be supported at any node of the grid and at practically any location on plan. SPACE FRAME NEXT >>

SPACE FRAME Advantages
< CLICK > >CLICK ON THUMBNAILS< POSTS / BEAMS TRUSSES PORTAL FRAME SPACE FRAME Advantages -the whole roof can be assembled safely at or near ground level, complete with decking and services and then jacked into it final position. Disadvantages -the cost can sometimes be high when compared with alternative structural systems. -the number and complexity of the joints can lead to a longer erection time on site. <<PREVIOUS <END>

PORTAL FRAME Brief intro
< CLICK > >CLICK ON THUMBNAILS< POSTS / BEAMS TRUSSES SPACE FRAME PORTAL FRAME Brief intro -portal frames are in effect arches, but whereas true arches are curved, portal frames may consist of straight members. Characteristics -can be 3 pin 2 pin or completely rigid -exert horizontal thrust on their foundation -‘pin’ connection does not transfer bending -less stress on knee with low pitches Advantages -economical -spanning ability of 15-45m column free -ease and speed of erection -simple in construction -less trade skills are required Disadvantages -bracing needs to be considered as building gets longer. <END>

Colorbond (non-insulated)
< CLICK > The most ineffective place to do work for a building is on-site, for workers and the weather are unpredictable, therefore any work that can be done off site by other companies saves money and time.

< CLICK > >CLICK ON THUMBNAILS< COMPONENTS CONSTRUCTION TYPES 3 pin- 3 pin joints 2 at each of the supports, and 1 at the crown 2 pin- 2 pin frame has 2 pin joints at the supports. The bending moments are more evenly distributed, as a result the 2 pin frame is more economical Rigid frame- the rigid frame design due to the fact that its joints are rigid. Bending occurs in the columns of the framing. The column must therefore be of sufficient thickness to resist these bending moments. <END>

WAREHOUSE OFFICE>>
< CLICK > WAREHOUSE We wanted to have the warehouse with cladding so that anything could be stored inside giving freedom to any company that wanted to occupy it. So we needed cladding that was insulated against noise, heat, weather and that couldn’t get damaged too easily. Therefore we came up with the following recommendations. Pre-cast on all walls up to 2m Pre-Cast will be used up to 2 m on all walls of the warehouse due to its strength properties, if it got hit by a forklift, or similar. Also the thickness of the panels gives good acoustic installation. Insulated colorbond for 2-7m gap on walls Cheap to install, and has great thermal qualities for the cost of the product. The people and equipment needed to implement the material is also quite low. Resistance to water penetration due to off site production doubles the life of the product. Insulated colorbond for roofing Cheap to install, and has great thermal qualities for the cost of the product and the people and equipment needed to implement the material. Also resistant to water penetration due to off site production, doubles the life of the product. Colorbond can have a very low roof angle saving on expensive roof structure. Easy to add skylights at 2 sheet intervals of light penetration colorbond. Must be backed internally by a weather proofing membrane. OFFICE>>

< CLICK > OFFICE The office needs to be quiet and bright to work in, and the display space needs easy access for forklifts, with a front glass façade, so that customers would be able to see the product as they drove by. Pre-cast for south, east, and west façade The great acoustic insulation is what made pre-cast so good for the office space, it meant that all the noise from the trucks and forklifts outside and in the warehouse would not be heard. Able to be finished in many ways and colors also made pre-cast more appealing. Glass for the North facade, and some on the east and west A show room needs to grab the attention of a passer by, and this is done through the front glass façade, side windows on the west and east façade allow light to get into the office and display space. Insulated colorbond for roofing Cheap to install, and has great thermal qualities for the cost of the product and the people and equipment needed to implement the material. Also resistant to water penetration due to off site production, this helps the life of the product. Colorbond will match the warehouse in roof slope and look and save money due to the inexpensive roof structure needed. <<PREVIOUS <END>

< CLICK > RETAINING WALLS We recommend that all retaining walls are made from steel I-beams and pre-cast panels. This option was chosen due to the strength of both materials and life span. Wooden members tend to rot or be eaten after only a 10 year period. The warehouse is also made of pre-cast panels and I-beams, thus reducing the cost of attaining another contractor. <END>

SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
< CLICK > FORKLIFTS SAFETY While the forklift has transformed modern warehouse, storage and loading operations, the benefits can come at a terrible price. Forklifts present serious potential dangers to operators and pedestrians - dangers which frequently result in serious injury or death. The reality is that from January 1985 to January 2003, forklifts were associated with 48 fatalities in Victorian workplaces. These fatalities were preventable. (Believe it or not, almost a third of all forklift injuries involve slips, trips and falls while getting on or off forklifts. ) SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS All persons (including vehicle drivers) moving about the site must wear high visibility clothing at all times. High visibility clothing is to be available for all visitors. Area lighting must clearly illuminate pedestrians and vehicles in all traffic areas. A documented Traffic Management Plan is an invaluable aid to resolving many of the hazards and issues associated with forklift operations. The plan should be based on an assessment of forklift hazards and issues. It will govern all activities and procedures relating to forklift operations, and should cover areas such as: · Pedestrian exclusion zones · Black spots · Loading and unloading · Right of way · Policy development · Maintenance · Incident reporting and investigation · Site layout · Designated traffic zones · Use of attachments · Signage · Purchasing · Training NEXT>>

GENERAL INFORMATION ON FORKLIFTS
< CLICK > GENERAL INFORMATION ON FORKLIFTS Counter Balance Forklift, has a weight at the back which is slightly more than anything it will lift, hence the name counter balance. Much older design and actually has a seat like a car. These are rarely used compared to the other two types, their turning circle is 5 metres, which is just another negative for them. Extend Fork Forklift, has a turning circle of 3.1 metres, therefore aisle widths are generally also at least 3.1metres wide. In the case of the Deakin printery warehouse they are 3.1 meters wide. Ride or Reach Forklift, also has a turning circle 3.1 metres. It takes a person up with the platform, and they can simply pick up the required items and place them on the platform. Obviously only used for light objects and only the odd one, has no use when moving palettes unless its platform is removed. The platform can move up and down as the entire forklift travels down the aisle. This is all controlled from the platform. <<PREVIOUS NEXT>>

FIREWALL <<PREVIOUS <END> < CLICK >
A firewall allows the warehouse to become like two warehouses as this wall is basically impenetrable, allowing the areas of each warehouse to be smaller and thus the need for sprinklers to be not applicable. This door shuts on activation and locks each area, it is fireproof along with the wall for a considerable amount of time, and will resist considerable explosion. So at worst only half the warehouse could be destroyed. I.e. either side of the wall. The firewall here is comprised of hollow bricks tied in stages of 8 runs, then they are pumped full of concrete, and the entire wall becomes a solid. A firewall like this would also be used on an outer wall when any adjoining building is touching or reasonably close by, as well as for the above purpose of dividing the warehouse in two. <<PREVIOUS <END>

COMPOSITE FLOORING Span Benefits <END>
< CLICK > COMPOSITE FLOORING Span Bondeck or Condeck generally spans 2.5 metres Felders steel decking spans 3.5 metres Benefits Easy installation of services Speed of Construction Safe method of floor construction Saving in transportation of materials Easy installation of railing The temporary formwork required to assemble a composite floor, is considerably lower in cost, and required labour, when comparing to a conventional slab system. Once the concrete slab becomes rigid its load bearing capabilities match that of a universal beam. <END>
