Week 6_Journal Constructing Environments Activity_Structural Concept Studio_12 CASE STUDY BUILDING NAME: Centre for Theology and Ministry/Joint Theological Library/ORMOND COLLEGE 1_Descripition/classification of structural system a) Foundations & Footing Strip footing and mat or raft foundation b) Primary structure(Horizontal and vertical) Beam, column, bearer c) Secondary structure(Horizontal and vertical) Joists, slabs 2_Graphic structural Diagrams (structural systems to be clearly shown) a) Foundations & Footing

Scale 1:20 b) Primary structure(Horizontal and vertical)

Scale 1:100

c) Secondary structure horizontal and vertical

3_Identification, description and location of structural materials a) ConcreteďźšIn this case study the concrete can be found in wall, beam and foundation

For example: b) PlaywoodďźšIt is being used in roof, floor and door system.

For example:

c) Aluminum Jamb：In this site you can find Aluminum jamb in the door system and window system.

d) Masonry： Masonry is be used in wall System in this Site

e) Copper： use copper for cladding or flashing

Example: 4_Identify 3 structural Joints (use tracing paper to sketch from the construction drawings)

a) Caulked Joint

b) Closed

Joint

c) Silicon Butt Joint 5_Identify and explain the use of different structural fixings (weld, concrete, bolt, screw, nail)

a) Weld, From this example that we can find weld is a fabrication or sculptural process that joins materials, such as steel. b) Concrete: Concrete wall/ slab (Concrete is a composite material composed of coarse granular material (the aggregate or filler) embedded in a hard matrix of material (the cement or binder) that fills the space among the aggregate particles and glues them together.

c) Bolt : bolt is a bar that can be slid into a socket to lock a door, gate, etc. d) Screw: (e.g. 50mm DIAM, SSS Patch fixing with C’ Suk screw and chest fixing

e) Nail: In woodworking and construction, a nail is a pin-shaped, object of metal(or wood called a treenail) used as a fattener, peg to hang something, or sometimes a decoration.

6_Sustainability and environmental analysis a) Carbon footprint: The total amount of greenhouse gases emitted directly and indirectly to support human activities, usually expressed in equivalent tons of either carbon or carbon dioxide. Carbon footprints are calculated by countries as part of their reporting requirements, as well as by companies, regions, or individuals.(Cereplast, 2013) b) Embodied energy: Embodied energy is the energy consumed by all of the processes associated with the production of a product. c) Recyclability: Ability of a material to be captured and separated from a waste stream for conversion or reuse.

7_Economical implications of decisions: The impact of depression on social economic decision making. (Allen, 2010)

The Model of Our Case study building (Reception) Modeling process

Roof System Thermal Insulation Roof Foundation: Strip footing (Strip Footings are the continuous spread footings of foundation walls(Ching, 2008)) A mat or raft Foundation( A mat or raft foundation is a thick, heavily reinforced concrete slab that serves as a monolithic footing for a number of columns or an entire building(Ching, 2008) The interesting is reception part use lot of universal beams; like in roof system and frame you can find lot of it.

The I Beam (universal Beam)

Notch, viwed on 30/08/2013 http://rampplans.dalehite.com/ EXAMPLES of how, where and when used (include sources) A v notch weir is used to meter flow in an open channel. The v notch weir is very good for measuring a low flow rate of open channel flow. The head over the v notch is measured and correlated with flow rate through the open channel. A v notch weir equation will give the open channel flow rate.

Rather than just diving into a project and hoping for the best, a feasibility study allows project managers to investigate the possible negative and positive outcomes of a project before investing too much time and money (Definition of 'Feasibility Study, Investopedia, viewed 04/09/2013 http://www.investopedia.com/terms/f/feasibility-study.asp) OWN IMAGE:

The Planning Design and Construction Process At A Glance, Viewed 04/09/2013 http://www.docstoc.com/docs/4194576/The-Planning-Design-and-Construction-Proce ss-At-A-Glance EXAMPLES of how, where and when used (include sources): In the construction industry, feasibility studies are conducted to determine whether a company can realistically and profitably take on a project. They analyse the strengths and weaknesses of the business, and identify any opportunities and threats in the competitive environment, such as economical instability. These reports also outline the materials, labour, and time required for the project, and rationally say whether or not the company can meet those needs. Feasibility studies outline the best possible strategy and results the company can offer the client. Finally, they judge the likelihood of success and profit, and come to a conclusion about whether the project will be financially viable and rewarding.

wood.
