CHAPTER 2: BUILDING CONSTRUCTION , STRUCTURE & MATERIALITY

//Foundation System

2.1 FOUNDATION Foundation is defined as the below ground elements of a building that transfer the building’s loads into the soil. For this building, it imply Pad foundation-This is where isolated columns (pillars) are casted from the foundation to carry a slab at the top of the ground. This is mostly used when you want to make use of the under of building as parking space or when the other space is not conducive to have foundation.

//Retaining Wall

RETAINING WALL Retaining wall holds soil back to create an abrupt change in the elevation of the ground. Cut-and-fill has occurred on site, so retaining walls are needed to retain the slope from landslide. Besides that, the site is located next to the river. The retaining wall are needed to provide basement parking underneath the building. In this condition, the retaining wall must be built with the specific condition to withstand the water and soil pressure from the riverside.

//Retaining Wall

Retaining Wall Detail

//Column and Beam

2.2 COLUMN AND BEAM Columns are rigid, relatively slender structural members designed primarily to support axial compressive loads applied to the ends of the members. The load being transferred through column and beam to the substructure and subsequently to the ground.

A beam is a structural element that is capable of withstanding load primarily by resisting bending. The bending force induced into the material of the beam as a result of the external loads, own weight and external reactions to these loads is called a bending moment.

Section C-C’ showing the grid line system of column and beam from basement to roof structure.. The establishment of column are based on grid system following the grid line of the existing shophouses.. The grid system of column are the most important element to set up the construction of the building. With the grid system, it helps for establishment of column from the basement up to roof and also the beam structure.. Furthermore, basement parking are more efficient and economical by using the grid line system of column and beam.,

//Column and Beam

2.2 COLUMN AND BEAM Beams are wide and deep to accommodate the loads on the floor slabs. The columns within the substructure are generally 500mm x 500mm in size whereas the common substructure beams are 350 mm x 350 m. They have vertical and horizontal re- bars reinforcement that augments the ability of a concrete column to carry comprehensive loads, resist tensile forces when the column is subject to lateral loads, and reduces the effects of creep and shrinkage in the column.

Reinforced concrete beams are designed to act together with longitude and web reinforcement in resisting applied forces. The contraction and compression forces generated in resisting applied forces. The contraction and compression forces generated by the flow of loads must be kept within acceptable limit to avoid failure.

Section drawing showing the column and beam system of the building. The building using concrete column and beam for the main structure. Drawing also show how the load being transferred from the roof to the foundation by column and beam system. Sectional Perspectives drawing shows the beam running from one end to another and it was connected to the retaining wall at the basement.

//Floor System

2.3 FLOOR SYSTEM

Floors are horizontal planes that support both live and dead loads by transferring the loads horizontally across spaces to column or foundation. Floor loads can be distributed horizontally in two types of load distribution system; one way slab and two way slab.

The floor slab for the superstructure is typical cast in place concrete floor slabs. Two way slabs and beams are employed for the floor system in the design proposal. Two way slabs of 150 mm thickness are reinforced in two directions and cast integrally with supporting beams and column on all four sides of nearly square bays. Two way slabs are most efficient for carrying intermediate to heavy load over 4.5 m to 12 m spans.

In the design, there are several floor finishes that been imply. The type of floor finishes are depending on the activities and the type of spaces. For an example, rough concrete finishes are used in the retail and workshop because of the activities and the rough concrete finishes suit the spaces activities and in the same time the beauty of the finishes can be exposed.

2.4 WALL SYSTEM

Wall is the vertical construction of a building that encloses, separate and protects its interior space and buildings occupants. The exterior skin, which applied to or integral with the wall structure should be durable to

weathering effects of sun, wind and rain. The interior wall, which subdivide the space within the building, should be able to support the desired finishes material.

The structural frame for the wall system is combine structure, where they are typically rigid frames and qualify as noncombustible and fire-resistance construction. The use of concrete frame will able for greater span distance and carry heavier loads. Moreover, the structural frame will support and accept the variety of non bearing or curtain wall system.

There are combination of several wall systems such as

concrete wall, brick wall and full height of glass screen panel.

2.5 CEILING SYSTEM Most parts of the building do not use any false ceiling system, instead the concrete slab and ducting is exposed. This gives a modern and roomier feel and eliminated the need for false ceilings of which material may give off harmful emissions that reduce indoor air quality. The loading and unloading zone, basements and services rooms have bare ceiling as they do not require any fake ceiling that are mainly for aesthetic purpose.

//Roof System 1

2.6 ROOF Roof is defined as the primary sheltering element for

2

the interior spaces of a building. The form and slope of a roof must be compatible with the type of roofing used to shed from direct sunlight and channel the rainwater to a system of drains or rainwater harvesting pond. The construction of the roof should also control the passage of moisture vapor, the infiltration of air and the flow of heat and solar radiation.

1. Clay roof tiles with glass roof tiles for light ventilation into the building. This type of roof are to following the element of the old shophouses as complimentary.

2.Glazzed roof integrate with

solar panel . This type of roof

allowing 70% of light penetrate to the building but in the same time the solar panel store the energy from the sunlight for building use.

//Roof System

The building did not have any gutter for rain water management system. Instead of using gutter, the building have green roof as water catchment area and use natural stone as a filter, than direct and collect the water for rainwater harvesting. The rainwater harvesting than been used for watering the landscape.

CHAPTER 3: BUILDING SERVICES

//Vehicle Parking

3.1 VEHICLES PARKING There are two basement parking provided for the building occupants considering the number of workers, visitors and also the adjacent building’s occupants. The entrance of basement is located near to the river, far from main road to prevent traffic congestion at the main road for parking entrance. The width of the ramp is 7.2 meter with angled at 7:1 ratio. The traffic is one way allowing the traffic to move from one basement to another one. The entrance of the main gallery is on the first basement, hence the drop off also being provided. There are total 67 car parking with 2 disable car park each floor provided. The parking lots for able-bodied people are 5m long and 2.5m wide which follows the required size of 4.8m x 2.4m. Disabled parking lots are 6m long and 3.5m wide for more maneuvering space for wheelchairs and other equipment.

4

The number of car park provide in second basement is bigger than the 1st basement. At the second basement, there are 65 motorcycle parking provided for workers, visitors and adjacent building’s occupants.. There is also a open space and greeneries at second basement for cooling and allowing natural light and air ventilate into the basement floor and cleans the air.

//Vertical Transportation

3.2 VERTICAL TRANSPORTATION There are two main staircases which are also fire rated that connected from 2nd basement up to 2nd floor. Other are just a stair that connected by only one ore two floor. Main staircases located at each wing of the building, one near the entrance and another one located near to the riser.

All of the staircases in the proposal are made of reinforced concrete and some of them are from steel. All of them have risers of 300mm depth and thread of 150mm high. The staircases have a width of 1850mm and are furnished with 1000mm high steel railing

There are also 4 lifts which are 2 at the main building and another 2 lifts located at the auditorium building. One of the lift at the main building is a service lift which connect from the first basement up to second floor,

//Electrical Distribution System

3.3 ELECTRICAL DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM Electricity is a basic for daily lives where is it our most used form of energy to generate human technologies. Generally, electrical distribution system could be subdivided into three parts: •

TNB substation

•

LV room

•

Panel distribution board

4

//Electrical Distribution System ELECTRICAL SUPPLY

TNB substation is the main electrical supply compartment connecting incoming supply from the existing underground regular voltages supply. The TNB substation will distribute the electricity through. The services zone is located at the side of the building. It has its own zone for ease of

maintenance. The electrical supply from the main supply line is amplified by the transformers within the TNB and sent through a high voltage room to the low voltage main switch board room.

Additional and/or backup power is supplied from the GenSet room which located in the basement. The main switch room would then regulate and control the electrical supply from the TNB and GenSet room to the vertical electrical risers. On every floor, there is a main switch board in each of the electrical risers. It is to ensure sufficiency electrical supply will caters for the whole building.

//Telecommunication System

3.4 TELECOMMUNICATION

The telephone line for this Business Incubator is distributed from MDF room and distributed to each floor through IDF room (Intermediate Distribution Frame) that located at every floor. This line is distributed to a management office, rooms and etc. The telephone riser which distributes the telecommunication cables to the spaces is located in a small room.

4

//Mechanical Ventilation

3.5 MECHANICAL VENTILATION

Air conditioning Air conditioning is a system or process for simultaneously controlling the temperature, humidity, purity, distribution, and motion of the air in an interior space. The purpose of air conditioning is to control the temperature by cooling, and filters out the dust in the air in a particular interior space. Only auditorium and exhibition hall use air conditioning system in the building and it use centralize system for each floor where AHU room also located in both floor.

4

//Mechanical Ventilation

Mechanical Fans Mechanical ventilation equipment such as ceiling fan are widely use in business incubator.

In the office unit, studio, workshop and also retail. Only audi and main exhibition hall are using air-conditioning system. Ceiling fan helps to reduce energy consumption and also helps to circulate air within the space.

Exhaust Fan System

The hot and stale air conditioning heavy concentration of carbon monoxide gas in the basement is mechanically removed via ducts that are connected to exhaust fan rooms on basement level. The smoke is discharged to the outside atmosphere to maintain air balance. The outlet for the exhaust fans are covered by landscape. For toilet, the high damp air will provide a high bacteria breeding atmosphere, exhaust fan introduced to the toilet on hotel room which do not have opening to outdoor to suck out all the damp air to provide a hygiene atmosphere.

4

//Water Distribution System

3.6 WATER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM The existing water line located along the Jalan Sultan Muhammad Jiwa. The water supply is tap off from the existing water line, and connected to the bulb meter bulk meter for both domestic and fire fighting water supply.

From the main supply line, the water is distributed to the suction tanks in the basement.

From the suction tanks, the water is then pumped into domestic tank and fire fighting storage tanks on the basement. Fire fighting tanks are separated into sprinkler and hose reel tanks. The piping risers for the main distribution lines are located just above the suction tanks.

Rainwater harvesting is also a sustainable issue which is recycled the rainwater and reuse it for toilet flushing and garden watering. Therefore, there are two water distribution systems for toilet. Cold water system is supplied water for basin whereby rainwater system is supplied recycled water for water closet.

Besides that, recycled rainwater is also supply to the piping for garden

watering. There is a sensor in the rainwater harvesting tank on the water tank so the cold water tank will supply water to the rainwater harvesting tank in case if rainwater level in the tank is not sufficient to supply for the toilet. .

//Sewerage System

3.7 SEWERAGE SYSTEM 3.7.1 SANITARY & SEWERAGE SYSTEM Sanitary and Sewerage Conditions.

Sanitary system in a building is important for comfort of the users. Due to the smell and possible of germs generated from the waste, the system has to be well designed to carry away the waste to stack system towards the main sewerage line.

.

4

//Sewerage System

3.7.2 PLUMBING SYSTEM The single stack system groups appliances around the stack with a separate branch pipe serving each. Branch pipe lengths and falls are constrained. Initially the system was limited to five storeys, but applications have proved successful in high rise buildings of over 20 storey.

Branch vent pipes are not required unless the system is modified. Lengths and falls of waste pipes are carefully selected to prevent loss of trap water seals. Water seals on the waste traps must be 75 mm (50 mm bath and shower).

3.7.3 SEWERAGE SYSTEM Separate sewerage system carried foul water and surface water through separate sewers and drains.

The drainage system applied to Business Incubator is the below ground Grey Water Diagram

system where it used internal piping for discharge of foul water, waste water or rain water.

The below ground system is the perimeter drain that was built around the building. It functions for collecting water from paved area, and combined to rain water down pipe.

//Fire Protection System

3.8 FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEM Fire protection is one of the requirements in UBBL for every building to protect the occupants and minimize the damage done on the building. There are passive and active fire protection systems.

Uniform Building by Laws (UBBL) 1984 Part VIII By-Law 225-253 guideline is to ensure fire safety of the occupants and properties. Fire alarms, firefighting equipment and access are required for fire fighting. According to UBBL, three to ten storey building needs the hose reel system.

Therefore, this proposed building needs wet risers to transfer the water to the hose reels during the fire.

Passive fire protection system includes fire resisting material and zoning of building which should be taken into consideration during planning stage. The resort incorporates a lot of timber in the structure and faรงade which is vulnerable to fire, but fortunately the building is quite open to the outside and many staircases are provided. The resort also incorporates furniture made of rubber wood which is fire resistant.

The active fire protection system in the resort includes smoke detector, alarm bell, break glass, fire extinguisher and hose reel. They can be either automatic or manual. Almost all the equipment are painted red. .
