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.

SITE 2: 25 george street Northcorte GLOSSARY: Ridge-‐ brand new ridge placed on the roof in living room, which is located at top edge of the roof where two adjoining surfaces meet. Ridge Board-‐ Brand new ridge board is placed on the roof, which is located under the ridge suppor<ng the raBer RaNer-‐ new raBer is plaved it is a structural member used to frame and provide support Studs-‐ Exis<ng studs are used which is a ver<cal framing mebmer suppor<ng the wall. New studs were used to support exis<ng studs. 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.
STRUCTURAL CONCEPT & STYSTEM ü New roof structure employed in the living room area by replacing new ridge, ridge board and raBer of the roof. ü Combina<on if new and exis<ng wall structure was applied with exis<ng studs and sill is enhanced by suppor<ng it with new studs and sills. ü New sheathing for wall structure-‐plywood. ü New floor structures using new joists and finish flooring by applying <mber flooring ü Due to poor soil condi<on (ac<ve soil) had to be neutralized by adding alkaline. ü Poor soil lead to replacement exis<ng founda<on. However foo<ngs are kept.
