Week 10 ELearning 

Detailing

It is mentioned about the first principle of detailing.

Movement -

Building moves overtime (however very little) Causes cracking Due to temperature and chemical change To prevent this, expansion joints are usually placed in brick walls

This gives it an advantage as no matter what country, the most important understands the detailing as it can help to clarify strategies which ensure that buildings age gracefully or it is easy to build.

Expansion joints

In detailing -

Decisions are made by how materials can help with construction\ May be based on tradition or innovation Manufacture produce products based on detailing

Examples of detailing:

Choosing materials

Drawings

-

-

-

Help to develop building Transition from drawings to manufacture to build the building

‘

Repairable surface

Carpets -

Materials chosen should suit the environment E.g. - a building built in the beach should be made from good materials to be able to endure the harsh environment.

Some materials can improve overtime such as copper Copper forms a self-protective layer which is green in colour in which are attractive to some people.

Acts as an acoustic Used in places such as class rooms, cinema.

-

Surface that are resistant to damage An example is the plasterboard which is easy to replace and repair

-

Timber skirting helps to protect plasterboard Plasterboard wall

-

Can hold as much information in just 1 location Tutorial For this week’s tutorial, we visited the oval’s pavilion construction site.

Timber skirting -

When fixing a surface, replacement of the damaged surface must be thought out

Constructability 

-

We were brief on some of the information about the building and some information on how certain parts are built.

How easy for components to be replaced Accuracy Materials manufactured or constructed on site Skilled labour BIM In the voice recording, the guest speaker Anthony McPhee gave us some general information on what BIM is used for and how it works Three dimensional modelling system Creates virtual copy Can test everything of a building (more accurate) Provides good information Able to do sections, elevations, plan Can cut a section of the 3D model Provides better communication

Tongue and Groove board

The tongue and Groove Board is used to make the wall cladding

Cover plate Mullion window head

Box gutter

Example on how the box gutter and the flashing is used in a building

A framed wall system is use to build the wall which consists of structures such as studs, noggins, top plate and bottom plate

Water proofing membrane made from cloth where it will let the storm water flow to the agi drain

Plywood wall

Bracing- to ensure that the wall is stable and braced when building it.
