About Me Education: 2015-2017 The University of Melbourne Bachelor of environment Major: Architecture 2009-2014 Mount Waverley Secondary College Year 7 - Year 12 Victorian certificate of education (Baccalaureate) My name is Qian Rong (Rebecca) Li, a fresh graduate of the University of Melbourne. I am a person who loves challenges and to face my fear. Therefore, I chose architecture. The time I get in touch with architecture was three years ago as a first-year university student. During these three years, I also participated in various design studios and extra curricula such as theatre performance and a filming project. Engaging these experiences, I developed a positive and affirmative attitude makes me an effective communicator with my team and tours. From my perspective, architecture is an art that grasps the balance between creativity and practicality.

CONSTRUCTION DESIGN
1. Site soil profile is Class M with moderately relactive silt that causes some ground movement (0.3m snady Silt, 0.9m high plasticity sandy silty Clay and 0.3m extremetly weathered Basalt ) 2. Mass concrete15Mpa is to replace the unstable clay to allow a uniform bearing support in the foundation for the footings. It should extend minimunt 100mm into the Basalt 3. Bored pier 450mm to support point load from the steel column with reinforcement 4-N16 Bars, R 6 LIGs at 200 to resist torsion force 4. 150mm UC welded with 20mm thick base plate that is bolted to the bored pier 5. Strip footing 450mm wide x 600mm depth to support continuous loads from external wall with reinforcements 4-L12 Top and Bottom and R10 LIGs mazximum 900mm spacing to prevent torsion force 6. Pad footing 2000mm x 2000mm with reinfrocement N20 reinforcement bars spacing at 250mm max to support point load from column and preventing downward and upward bending force

7. Reinforced concrete slab 300mm thick with a 450mm wide edge beam 8. Square reinforcement mesh SL92 Top and Bottom, 30 cover to prevent weakening due to concrete cheaping and add tensile strength to concrete 9. Compresable carboard 100mm thick is void former, a void will be created when the cardboard deteriorate and allow soil movment without effecting the concrete slab 10. Polyethlyene waterproof membrane to prevent water lost and gain in conceret to minimise cracks due to expension and contraction 11. A setdown 34mm for capert 12. Capert at the door entrance 13. Slab thicking to prevent upward shear force from bored piers penetrating the concrete slab 14. Grout ducts 50mm diameter is to allow dowel bars 8 N20 to be inserted into it, which prevents movements and locks the column onto the pad footing 15. LIG Ties R10 sbased 250 up the column to prevent bending and torsion force to increase the strength of the column 16. Blockwork wall the external layer each block 400mm long, 190mm depth and 90 wide sits on the slab rebate and the inner layer is concrete filled in the cavity and N12 Bars reinforcement to strengthen as a retaining wall for the series of windows above it. 17. 70mm air gap and 20m R6.4 foilboard is present to further insulate the blockwork prevent its expension and contraction due to extreme temperature differences

18. Precast concrete beam serve as holder for the planking concrete slab it is reinforced with 4 N24 Bar Top and 5 N24 Bar Bottom for tensile strength. 19. Closed LIGs N12-300 casted into the precast concrete beam with the reinforcements to allow stronger grip to the planking concrete slab 20. Hollowcore plank has cylindrical holes 210mm and 235mm boolean through to allow screed concrete to flow in. It has reinforcement S12.7mm and N12 at 600 spacing to allow minimum concrete strength at transfer 30MPa 21. Reinforcement mesh for screed concrete to further prevent torsion force 22. Screed concrete is poured on site to provide a grip connection between the planking hollowcore and precast concrete beam 23. Neoprene is present to provide thermal break between the precast concrete beam and hollowcore slab as the heating system will cause heat transfer that could lead to expand and contract of concrete beam 24. Hydronic slab heating system

Project title: Wests BACE Year Level: 2 Studio: Construction design Individual Description
This project is completed in two parts: Part 1 is to reconstruct a section of the building as an axonometry drawing that show our understanding to how the building is built and respond to its site Part 2 is to reconstruct a section of the building as a physical model to show our understanding to the chosen material and how structural components function together.
25. PFC 280mm x 100mm to be the structural connection between the hardwood roof beam and precast concrete column and provide support for roof load transfer 26. Hardwood roof beam 600mm x 115mm is bolted to the PFC being the main suport to the roof joist and rafter structure and transfer loadds down to the column to the foundation 27. Dropper 75mm x 75mm x 4.0mm SHS is welded with 10mm thick plate and bolted iwth coach bolts to the Hardwood roof beam to allow the start of ceiling joist system from beyond 28. Ceiling beam 240mm x 45mm F17 KDHW is bolted to cleat plate welded to dropper to hold up the joist network 29. Packers maximum 45mm depth are required on top of I-joists to allow gradual slope fall 30. Hyspan LVL blocking are to be plated between the I-joist to minmise torsion force from the span and structures connected to the dropper 31. Hy Joists are required to gradually reduce its height from 400mm to 360mm, 300mm and 240mm to allow a 1.5 degree sloped roof 32. Roof rafter 45mm x 90mm at 1200mm spacing is present to support and transfer dead from roof cladding and live (wind load) 33. Battens 45mm x 90mm spaced at 900mm are required to attach the roof cladding 34. Cross bracing are present to torsion of roof strcuture due to live load (wind load) and dead loads 35. Roof insulation 190mm 36. Sharking to provid water prove and insulation ensuring the timber structure does not deteriorate 37. Structural insulated structural panel are required for roof cladding as solar panel will be attached to the cladding and ensure heat from sunlight is kept out
Steel Framing
38. PFC 150mm x 75mm Steel acts as a batten for the capping, and it is present to prevent rain driven water to enter the steel framing structure 39. Girts C150 are present attached to facia column to allow caldding to be placed 40. PFC 200mm x 75mm are bolted to the UC to transfer load from the sun screen to the bored pier footing 41. Window frames150mm x 60mm have are attached to the 10 shelf plates that are weled to the window sill as the glass glazing can be extended out from the structural frame instead of bearing the loads from the upper floors 42. Fascia Column 150mm x 75mm PFC is bolted to concrete column and concrete slabs to support the downword force of the windows and cladding which is then transfterd to the precast column onto the pad footing 43. SHS 100mm x 50mm x 3.0mm is bolted to the fascia column and to UB to transfer some load onto the bored pier 44. Double glazing 45. Flashing is placed on the shelf plate under the window frame to prevent wind driven rain to enter the structure 46. Thermal breaker is under the sill to seal the any gap and break the heat transfer from external environment to the internal environment 47. Pop out window frame 48. Lintel for the autometic door from beyond 49. Main support for the shelter system at the entrance and transfer the loads to the bored pier
