WEEK 9 LOGBOOK
W09 01_STUDIO REPORT
AL-06 FLASHING1: flashing here is a thin piece of metal to transfer water
Vapour barrier
Modification made to the drawing last week: this is the flashing if the canopy structure
Internal Oval pavilion redevelopment, Cox Architects, Melbourne 2013, A60-02, 1
FLASHING 2: CAVITY FLASHING A drip is set at the bottom of this flashing piece to protect structure/building from capillary action.

VAPOUR BARRIER: this is placed above the insulation to prevent moisture entering the internal structure of this building.

AL-01 ALUMINUM FASCIA: Fascia is the external part of a roof edge (Ching, 2014). Aluminum is an expensive metal but is light and can resist corrosion.

JOINT SEALANT: This is a joint filler that is used to control the depth of the sealant joint, and it need to be compressed but cannot support the sealant, so the material is usually foam or rubber, etc (Ching, 2014).
WALL TIES: They are used in a brick veneer wall system as a connection object of two different wall layers.

Sealant is made by silicon and it is used to seal any small opening on the surface of a structure that could prevent water going into the internal structure of this building.,
SQUARE HOLLOW SECTION (SHS) OR RECTANGULAR HOLLOW SECTION (RHS) They are steel structural members.

UNIVERSAL COLUMN; the depth is larger than the width. It is an important structural element used to transfer load vertically. Brick
Depth

Width
Because the steel was installed to the building after finishing the brick wall, cutting on brick wall could be observed due to the unfitness and the cutting on bricks is not neat

Timber cladding overhead: sealed & do not require regularly maintenance.
Compared with brick that the finished product is dry, concrete contains some moisture after finishing. However, as time goes by, the moisture will go out and shrink will happen that could lead to cracking at the joints between different pours of large-span concrete. These gaps need to be sealed to prevent water penetration because of the existence of the basement in this building While dry bricks absorb moisture, they will expand and exert pressure to other bricks next to them, which could lead to cracking. Expansion joints made by silicon could avoid the damage
Pin Joint
Fixed Joint
Pin joint is used at the top of this column but fixed joint is used at the bottom. This is caused mainly by constructability of the site
Timber flooring: unsealed and water drainage is under it, require regular maintenance and may also need substitution in the future.
Steel at the back
Glass glazing
Glasses on the curtain wall are all separated small pieces and there are 2 layers of structural support, Al framing in the front and steel framing at the behind
The exterior of Wilson Hall is curtain wall that is a glass enclosure system with steel columns at the back for support Shear walls at the ends of Wilson Hall are designed to prevent lateral instability of portal frame.
Aluminum framing Cover plates for connection
W09 02_LEARNING LOOP Masonry: materials such as concrete, brick and stone that are used in the form of small units and require mortar for connection (Ching, 2014). Use: 1. Wall system: Masonry bearing wall 2. Roof system: Roof tile Metal: Ferrousàsteel, made by iron and carbon, good quality on strength; NonferrousàAl, expensive but light and corrosion resistance; Cu, ductile; Pb, toxic (Ching, 2014). Use: 1. Reinforcement rebar 2. Floor system: girder, joists, truss, web 3. Wall system: steel framing, steel stud 4. Roof system: rafter, joist, decking 5. Flashing
Glass: manufactured by silica, flux and stabilizer and can be made into different shapes (Ching, 2014).
Single material or Monolithic material: one type of material or many types of materials used together but become indistinguishable (envs10003 W09 m1). Concrete: consists of cement, aggregates and water and it is weak in tension that require reinforcement under some context to become stronger in tensile force (Ching, 2014) Use: 1. Foundation: retaining wall, concrete slab, concrete column 2. Floor system: concrete slab 3. Wall system: concrete framing, concrete bearing wall 4.Roof system: concrete flat roof
Use: 1. Openingàwindow or door; 2. Wall systemàcurtain wall Timber: Hardwood and soft wood, need special consideration to the exposure
Use: Wall cladding
Use: Cladding; floor panel
Fibre Reinforced Cement: Made by Cellulose or glass fibre, Portland cement and sand that can resist fire, weather and termite damages (envs10003, W09 Composite material: 2 or more kinds of material used together that is distinguishable (envs10003 W09 m1). Al sheets composite: sandwich panel Made by Al and plastic that can resist fire, is strong and has various kinds of finishes (envs10003, W09 m1).
Use: 1. Floor system: Bearer, joists and decking 2. Wall system: timber framing wall and timber stud wall 3. Roof system: rafter, decking, joists 4. Opening: door and window Fibreglass: Made by glass Timber composite: fibre and epoxy Made by solid timber, resins that can engineered timber resist fire, weather. and steel that is very It is transparent, efficient (envs10003, light but strong W09 m1). (envs10003, W09 Use: Beams and truss m1). Use: Roof and wall cladding
Fibre Reinforced Polymers: Made by polymers and timber or glass fibres that can resist corrosion and is efficient (envs10003, W09 m1).
Use: Roof decking; structural elements, reinforced rebar
W09 03_GLOSSARY APPENDIX Bending: is a consequence caused by bending stress that is a mix of tensile and compressive forces applied to the cross section of a structural member (Ching, 2014).
Composite beam: is a horizontal structural member that used to transfer load and is made by two or more kinds of materials that still remain distinguishable after producing (Ching, 2014).
Cornice: is a molded object that is located at the top of the wall used for decoration and zone division (Ching, 2014).
Sandwich Panel: is a composite structural member that consists of two outer layers that are normally high-density metal sheets and an inner core that has relatively lower density (Rockwool Coresolution, n.d.). Shadow line joint: is a kind of joint that does not link two parts of materials tightly together, instead it creates a gap between two materials (Auskstone, n.d.).
Skirting: or baseboard, is the bottom section of a wall used to cover and complete the connection of wall system and the floor system (Ching, 2014).
