GLOSSARY_05 CONTINUOUS SPAN

A span designed to extend without joints over one or more intermediate supports. Continuous spans are often used as multispan bridge structures.

This type of bridge results in a savings of a material or in longer spans for the same amount of material when compared to a simple span bridge.

TUTORIAL_05 A02_INTERIM SUBMISSION PRESENTATION _Reflection

Only three people in studio 02 did the in situ option for A02. After watching their presentations I think I should focus more on the structural component of the construction more in the following obsevations.

_STRUCTURAL CONCEPT ACTIVITY II. Graphic Structural Diagrams a) Foundations & Footings

Small rectangular boxes represent the bluestone pavements. Refer to drawings A06.06

Box at the bottom of the diagram represents the shallow footing foundation in the structure.

_STRUCTURAL CONCEPT ACTIVITY VI. Sustainability & Environmental Analysis a) CARBON FOOTPRINT _demolition of current existing structures/sites (Destruction of plants/trees) Construction & Operation of machinery uses energy/petrol transportation of materials to construction site. b)EMBODIED ENERGY _Concrete columns use huge amount of embodied water & energy _Steel columns take a lot of energy to make as it can allow glass panels tkae energy to heat and mold into different shapes and sizes. c)RECYCLABILITY _Conrete shallow spread footing(s) cannot be recycled if building is demolished VII. Economical Implications of Decisions _Using steel and concrete framing rather than convention timber framing is mroe expensive _Water feature will dramatically increase the cost of construction and maintanence _Short footings and shallow spread foundation is very economical
