CREATING THE MODEL: PRIMARY STRUCTURES: -‐ Horizontal: Beams, concrete slab, lintels -‐ Ver5cal: exis5ng load bearing walls
SECONDARY STRUCTURES: -‐ Horizontal: colorbond cladding, 5mber flooring, plasterboard ceiling lining, skylights -‐ Ver5cal: external zinc wall cladding and colorbond, automa5c doors, windows, balusters along ramp
CREATING THE MODEL:
TIMBER WORKSHOP ACTIVITY: GROUP 1: WEIGHT: 160KG DEFLECTION: 35MM THE PRESSURE STARTED TO CREATE A TWIST
GROUP 2: WEIGHT: 250KG DEFLECTION: 50MM SIMILAR TO THE PREVIOUS GROUP
ONTO THE VERTICAL STRUCTURES,
THE VERTICAL STRUCTURES STARTED TO
THIS IS DUE TO THE COMPRESSION FORCES
CHANGE DUE TO PRESSURE OF THE COMPRESSION FORCES ON THE TOP OF THE STRUCTURE AND THE TENSILE FORCES ON THE BOTTOM END
ON THE TOP OF THE STRUCTURE AND THE TENSILE FORCES ON THE BOTTOM END
TIMBER WORKSHOP ACTIVITY: GROUP 3: WEIGHT: 590KG DEFLECTION: 55MM DUE TO THE WAY THE BEAMS WERE STACKED
GROUP 4 (MY GROUP): WEIGHT: 300KG DEFLECTION: 95MM WE CREATED AN I BEAM FOR OUR DESIGN. TO JOIN THE BEAMS TOGETHER WE ADDED SCREWS TO THE TOP END AND TO BOTTOM. THE SPACING BETWEEN EACH SCREW ON TOP WAS 20CM AND WE HAD 6 SCREWS. ON THE BOTTOM END WE
THIS DESIGN WITHSTOOD THE MOST WEIGHT
ONLY HAD 4 SCREWS. THIS WAS DONE TO
THE SIDE BOARDS ADDED SUPPORT
CREATE AN EFFICIENT STRUCTURE THAT RESPONDS TO BOTH TENSILE AND COMPRESSION
FORCES AND DOESN'T’T CAUSE CRACKS
