SITE 1-‐450smith street ( apartment Harris HMJ) GLOSSARY: Post tension cable-‐cables, composed of steel wire inserted in to a plas<c sheath are subsequently tensioned and grouted aBer the concrete is poured. Allows thinner slabs and allow greater span lengths between the support columns Bored pier-‐used when the ground condi<ons are considered to be good. constructed with circular augers and filled with concrete and steel and reinforcement. Par1 walls-‐ wall that are between two separate proper<es. the wall requires insulated material covered with fireproof plasterboards.
STRUCTURAL CONCEPT & STYSTEM ü Concrete slab structure ü Design construc<on ü Post tension cable* ü Metal bracing (to hold to pre-‐cast concretes together) ü Bored pier founda<on* approx. 16m deep CONSTRUCTION SYSTEM & PROCESS ü Tower crane located in the center of the construc<on to maximize efficiency. ü The floors are built level by level ü Metal bracing and <mber table are used to form the frame structure ü In situ concrete is pour on top of the steel flooring system (which holds the concrete together un<l it hardens ü Par< walls* are constructed in between individual property MATERIAL ü concrete: -‐ Pre-‐cas<ng concrete -‐ In-‐situ concrete ü Plaster board: -‐ Fire resistant plaster board (red/pink in colour) -‐Water resistant plaster board (blue in colour) -‐ Normal plaster board (grey in colour) ü Insulator: -‐ Thick insulator -‐ Thin insulator ü Gas pipe: -‐ The end of the pipe are made out of rubbery material, In emergency fire events the hole closes preven<ng the gas from leaking
