LOAD PATH DIAGRAM

The load is not being transferred here because it takes the most direct routes down to the ground.

Action = - Reaction Reaction!!

FORCES Force

Vector LENGTH + DIRECTION

any influence that produces a change in the shape or movement of a body

Tension - happens when being pulled - stretch and elongate the material

Compression - happens when being pushed - shorten the material

* The magnitude of tension or compression depends on: stiffness of the material, cross sectional area, magnitude of the load

THEATRE

CONSTRUCTION SYSTEMS Construction Overview At the start of this theatre session, students were asked to build a structure out of paper that can hold a brick.

I tried putting IPad on top of my structure, and it worked. In conclusion, folding makes the structure stronger because it is more rigid.

E-LEARNING

MATERIALS Introduction to Material stiff Strength flexible Stiffness stretch

What to consider

sloppy monodimensional (linear) Shape

bidimensional (planar) e.g. sheet metal tridimensional(volumetric) e.g. concrete Isotropic

equally strong in both compression and tension (e.g. steel)

Anisotropic

behave differently depending on the forces applied

Material Behaviours

Economy Sustainabilty

How efficiently does the material get used with the construction system?

e.g. stud frame system is very efficient in Melbourne as timber is abundant

STUDIO

Compression MATERIAL: MDF (MEDIUM DENSITY FIBREBOARD) The aim of this activity is to understand the load path during different stages of construction and deconstruction

Construction concepts and block laying techniques As the tower gets higher, the block laying technique changes in order to keep the tower balance.

BASE We need a strong base hence the blocks are closer together but still leaving a gap for material efficiency TRANSITION When the base is high enough, , we started to lay the blocks inward forming pyramid. This reduces the amount of blocks needed.

TOP As the material is limited, we laid the block vertically so that the tower will get higher. We only focus on one side due to limited amount of material

Create hole to let the object in

DECONSTRUCTION PROCESS

column!

We started to deconstruct on the 2 sides, which are shorter than the other one, by creating holes in the middle, producing column.

SIDE VIEW The collapse critical point is when the middle part has gone. This is because the triangle shape is no longer connected hence nothing holds the top part of the tower.

TOP VIEW Here it can be clearly seen that the tower is no longer connected

COMPARISON WITH OTHER GROUPS’ TOWERS

A

B

C

BASIC SHAPE The three other towers use cylinder shape. A t first we planned to use cylinder, but in the end we decided to use prism as we concluded that prism would use less material.

BLOCK-LAYING TECHNIQUES & VARIANCE IN CONCEPTS Group B &C changes their techniques in laying the blocks, while Group A did not.

Achieve greater heights but become less stable since the base has smaller surface area Group B

Group A

Gap!

No!Gap!

Group C

Gap!

EFFICIENCY OF MATERIAL Group A and C leave gap between blocks, while group B does not leave gap at all. Leaving gap is more efficient since it reduces the amount of blocks needed to build the same area.

SUSTAINABLE BUILDING PRECEDENT: COUNCIL HOUSE 2(CH2) 240 Lt. Collins St Observation Date: 18 March 2014 12.30 pm CH2 building is Melbourne’s six star green building completed in 2006. The building is adaptable to day and night, as well as to winter and summer. There are several ESD strategies applied:

Roof Top Energy Wind Turbines Vertical plant

Healthy Air Thermal mass

Exhaust High level ceilings

Chilled ceilings

Shower Tower

(City of Melbourne, 2014) The facade facing west is made of operable vertical timber shutter, which is adaptable to winter and summer. As my observation was during summer, it was closed hence providing full summer shading while still allowing filtered daylight and views.

STUDIO ACTIVITY: ‘FRAME’ MATERIAL: BALSA WOOD This week's activity is to understand the importance of structural joints: pin joint, roller joint, and static joint, in frame structure

CONSTRUCTION PROCESS We decided to build a frame with triangular prism shape. We applied bracing on the 3 sides in order to prevent deflection / torsion (twisting).

Moreover, we make large surface area to minimize pressure, since P=F/A, so the grater the surface area, the lower the pressure.

LOAD PATH DIAGRAM

Load!

Load!Path!Diagram!

Reaction!

COLUMN The 3 columns have to be the strongest part of the structure; hence, we stick two balsa wood together perpendicularly, which strengthen the balsa wood.

BRACING We applied cross bracing on the 3 sides in order to minimize horizontal movement (shear).

HOWEVER, our frame structured failed to withhold loads. Things to learn: : As the balsa wood is long and thin, we need more cross bracing to stabilize it.

COMPARISON WITH OTHER FRAME STRUCTURES’ GROUP Group A It has a large surface area which causes causes less pressure to the ground. However, it does not have bracing on the sides hence the structure is weak.

No Bracing Large Surface Area

Group B

In contrast to group A, group B’s structure has a strong structural system as they applied truss system. However, only small area attached to the ground hence it has large pressure.

Truss system

Small surface area

Group C

This is a very good structure as it can withhold quite large loads. It has a very large surface area and many cross bracing.

The doubled the balsa in the middle part, which makes the structure strong The edge structure is very strong as even though the above part has bent, the edges keep straight

GLOSSARY STRUCTURAL JOINT ‘the junction of two or more members of a framed structure’ (Merriam-Webster, 2014) STABILITY Equal Forces / Balanced TENSION the stress resulting from the elongation of an elastic body (Merriam-Webster, 2014) FRAME to construct by fitting and uniting the parts of the skeleton of (a structure) (Merriam-Webster, 2014) BRACING A structure that hold parts together & resist shear forces COLUMN Vertical supports

is a (mostly) horizontal structural element.

Function: to carry loads along the length of the beam and transfer these loads to the vertical supports.

Load Path Diagram Force

BEAM

CANTILEVER •

is created when a structural element is supported at only one end.

•

Function: to carry loads along the length of the member and transfer them to the support.

Load Path Diagram Force

SPAN & SPACING (4.05)

SPAN • the distance measured between two structural supports.

• not necessarily the same as the length of a member SPACING • the repeating distance between a series of like or similar elements.

• measured centre-line to centre-line. * SPACING of the supporting elements depends on the SPANNING capabilities of the supported elements

Curing%of%the% concrete%

• Once it has been poured, it has to be quickly finished before it hardens, hence more labors needed (labor intensive).

2. IN SITU CONCRETE Process happening on site -

Uses: o Structural purposes (widely used in footings, retaining walls) o Sprayed using a pressure hose (SHOTCRETE), (useful for swimming pool) - Joints (potential weak point) o Construction Joints Divide the construction into smaller and more manageable sections of work o Control Joints Absorb the expansion and contractions ADVANTAGES (+): More varied shape must be insitu DISADVANTAGES (-): more labor required

During curing process the formwork is supported by props and bracing as the weight of the wet concrete is very heavy.

1. PRE-CAST CONCRETE Fabricated in a controlled environment and transported to site for installation -

Uses: Retaining walls, walls, columns (RARELY in footings) - Joints (potential weak point) o Construction joint o Structural Joints Structural connections joining the precast elements ADVANTAGES (+): ! More standardized outcome ! Much faster rate to construct ! More economical for standard shape ! Time effective ! Not depend on weather DISADVANTAGES (-): L May damage during transport L Limited in size due to transport L On site changes are difficult to incorporate

STRUCTURAL CONCEPTS Columns, Frame

COLUMN: Vertical structural members designed to transfer axial compressive loads.

SHORT COLUMNS

LONG COLUMNS

Large cross section area Shorter length < 12: 1

Small cross section area Taller length > 12 : 1

How does each type of column fail?

Crushing SHORT COLUMNS will be structurally adequate if the load applied to the column cross section does not exceed the compressive strength of the material.

Buckling The EFFECTIVE length of the column is changed because of the different fixing methods.

The effective length is measured between the points of CONTRAFLEXURE.

What materials would be used for each column type?

Concrete

Steel

Description Ratio height : width Sketch

FRAME (2.17)

Frame

Fixed Frame

Rigid frame connected to its supports with fixed joints

Advantages: More Resistant to deflection

Disadvantages: more sensitice to support settlements and thermal expansion & contraction

Hinged Frame

Rigid frame connected to its supports with pin joints

Advantages: Pin joints prevent high bending stresses.

It allows frames to rotate when loads applied

It alloes frame to flex slightly when stressed by changes in temperature

Three- hinged frame

Assembly of two rigid sections connected to each other and to its supports with pin joints

Advantages: least affected by support settlements & thermal stresses

Disadvantages: most sensitive to deflection

o

o

Consideration: The further apart in galvanized series, the more likely to corrode Ion transfer happens when the metals are directly in contact with each other or they are In an environment that facilitates the transmission of the ions (electrolysis) • To reduce the risk of corrosion, separate the metals by insulator such as rubber gasket or kept away from sitting in moisture • Galvanised steel: steel coated by a thin layer of zinc to protect the steel from rusting. (zinc corrode deferentially themselves thereby protecting the steel). Cheap • •

MATERIALS: Paints

Provenance & Composition Purpose: to protect (and colour) a particular element Clear paints are called lacquers or varnishes Components: BINDER – the film-forming component of the paint (polyurethanes, polyesters, resins, epoxy, oils) DILUENT – dissolves the paint and adjusts its viscosity (alcohol, ketones, petroleum distillate, esters) PIGMENT – gives the paint its colour and opacity. Can be natural (clays, talcs, calcium carbonate, silicas) or synthetic Types & Uses 1. Oil based a. Used prior to water based b. Very good high Gloss finishes can be achieved c. Not water soluble (brushes to be cleaned with TURPENTINE) 2. Water Based a. Most common today b. Durable & Flexible c. Tools and brushes to be cleaned with water PROPERTIES • COLOUR CONSTANCY – the colour of the paint should resist fading, especially when outside in sunlight, red dyes tend to be less stable • DURABILITY – paints need to resist chipping, cracking, and peeling, exterior painted surfaces have to resist the effect of rain, air pollution and the UV light. Newer paint technologies such as powder coating and PVF2 are harder and more durable • GLOSS – surface finishes can range from matt through to gloss • FLEXIBILITY / PLASTICITY – water based latex paint is more flexible than oil based paint.

Indicates how the cross-sectional area of a structural where member is distributed and does not reflect the intrinsic fb = extreme fiber stress in bending physical properties of a material M = bending moment c = distance from neutral axis to the outermost surface in bending ! ! = !!, !â&#x201E;&#x17D;!"!!" = ! !

S = Section modulus

The efficiency of a beam is increased by configuring the cross section to provide the required moment of inertia or section modulus with the smallest possible area.

Example Halving a beam span Reduces the bending stress by a factor 2 Doubling its width

Reduces the bending stresses by a factor 4

Doubling the depth

MATERIAL Glass FLOAT GLASS – TYPE

Clear Float Glass (annealed glass) o The simplest and cheapest glass product available in the market o Ideal in low risk / low cost / small size glazing scenarios. o Breaks in to very sharp and dangerous shards • Laminated glass o 2 layers of glass held in a sandwich format with a tough plastic interlayers. o When the glass is broken, the plastic interlayer holds the 2 panes In place so it is quite safe o Can be made out of clear float glass or tempered glass • Tempered glass (toughened glass) : strong o By heating ordinary glass up to a high temperature (650o) where it starts to soften. Then they cooling (quenching) it really quickly which puts the surfaces in compression so when a load is applied and effectively the glass is put into tension by bending, the compression takes up some of the tension load which can increase the strength of the glass by 4-5x. o Ideally used in high exposed situations (balustrades*, partitions, facades) or when the sizes required are particularly large.

Strategies to reduce the amount of heat loss and heat transmission • Double glazing o Keep the room warmer in winter by preventing heat loss, by having a relatively still layer between 2 panes of glass, which helps with insulating and retaining heat. o In summer, a building needs to be shaded effectively because the double glazing is not so useful In terms of preventing radiant heat transmission. It is better at reducing ambient* heat loss o Reduce the amount of Radiated heat into a building in summer : use low-e glazing (low emisity) absorb radiant energy. It does not absorb radiated infrared energy as much as normal floated glass !

MATERIAL Glass John Sadar WHAT ENABLE THE CHANGES? GLASS TECHNOLOGY CULTURAL

! ! ! ! ! ! !

Wanwright Building, St. Louis (1891) Punched window Architecture glass was handblown by artisan, varied in: • Thickness • Size • Productions methods (limited size, poor optical quality, high wastage) The glass was held in place by window frame (frame was the dominant feature of the window) Function of frame: hold the glass, secure it to the building, enabling it to be opened

RWE Tower Essen (1996) Windows disappeared, replaced by the glazed surface Mass produced in a computer controlled factories by machines running 24 hour a day with less quantity of material Float glass: continuous ribbon of glass is floated over a bed of molten tin, carefully cooled and cut, resulting in superior optical quality

• • • • • • •

The frame has been reduced.

The window has become the glazing system.

Fastening glass to the building Accomodates the movement of parts to thermal expansion and contraction Weather seals and adequate drainage of water Stands wind and gravity forces Opens and closes to ensure optimal energy efficiency.

GLASS IS GETTING BIGGER, BETTER, AND CHEAPER. Sadar (2014) Glass is cultural artefact Why is the need for the increase functionality of glazing systems?

Glass is the modulator between the building and sunlight Relationship to the sun.

In 1890s, glass is something to be avoided

The relationship becomes more complex.

• Health: sun was seen as teraputhic than harmful • Body Culture: Sun tan becomes a symbol of modern health Sunscreen not only beneficial but also detrimental • Energy issue: glass capacity to transmit heat, glass buildings require huge amount of heating and cooling to offset this effect. But also give potential to combine the abundant energy of the sun (balance with natural world) Managing this effect have driven the development of glass technology.

In RWE, the ideal relationship between the sun and the building: The building could harness, filter, and manage the effect of the sun to its glazing system

CONCLUSION: Besides technical material, material properties themselves are subject to cultural processes, whether related to health, environmental impact, or energy concerns. ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

STRUCTURAL CONCEPTS Lateral Forces Dynamic Loads (Ching. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Building Construction illustratedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. p 2.09) Wind: o Force: Come from any horizontal direction. o Consideration: the structure, components, and cladding of a building must be designed to resist wind-induced sliding, uplift, or overturning Earthquake Earthquake% o Force: 3D ground motion o Consideration: the horizontal components are considered to be the more critical in structural design.

Case Study: Holiday Beach House Failures: Timber Fascia - Material Selection, too wide - It is facing north hence exposed to hot north sun - Painted black on outside only - Fasteners

Flat Steel sheeting on plywood - Blistering & peeling sheets due to exposure to sun - Thermal differences The steel sheet is a conductor hence the walls turn extremely hot - The glue used to stick Timber plywood to timber studs is not strong enough

MATERIALS Galvanic Corrosion The Statue of Liberty History designed by :Auguste Bartholdi The copper skin is supported on an iron skeleton and ribs designed by Gustave Eiffel.

COPPER OXIDATION When copper is exposed to the atmosphere, it reacts with oxygen. The copper starts to dull, first becoming a darker brown colour and then forming a green copper oxide patina.

Armature: IRON Skin: COPPER INITIAL CONNECTION DETAIL CONSIDERATION The galvanic corrosion between the copper skin and iron frame (dissimilar metals) was considered.

INITIAL SOLUTION: Separation of the materials by a layer of shellac impregnated cloth Failure: Shellac turns brittle and porous and holds moisture at the joint between the 2 different metals. The connection system started to fail as the build up of corrosion products (rust) expanded & pilled the rivets away from the copper skin SECOND SOLUTION: Instead of iron, change to stainless steel ribs, Teflon coating.

Possible failure: The 2 different metals make it possible to cause another galvanic reaction

Interrogation of the detailing decisions and purpose -Sloping capping and flashing to lead water to go down to the metal deck roof and to the gutter.

- Thermal insulation is more dense at the roof since the temperature difference at the roof Is higher than wall 9Ching, 2008).

-Double layer plasterboard for fire resistant as well as acoustic insulation -Use aluminium capping and timber lining wall for lightweight construction + Identification of waterproofing elements • • •

Group 1 cuts the plywood into small pieces and nailed them on sides of the two pinewoods. This causes many nails, applied to the structure, which is a weakness

Group 3 put the plywood horizontally at the bottom at the bottom of the structure, which means it will experience tension force.

Span

Group 4 put the plywood vertically in between 2 pinewoods.

My group is the only group that puts one of the plywood horizontally. My group â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;s structure is a layer of plywood, pinewood, then plywood, after than pinewood.

Doubling width

1.5x depth

Doubling width and depth

According to flexure formula, double its width reduces the bending stress by a factor of 2, while doubling the depth reduces the bending stress by a factor of 4 (Ching, 1995)

Group 1

The structure breaks at the nailing points since there is a connection joint at the center load.

Group 2

My group structure is the worst amongst all since it has the highest bending stress yet the minimum applied failure load.

The structure broke at the vertical pine due to the presence of knot.

In fact, the plywood and horizontal pine wood do not break at all.

Group 3

Group 3 has the least bending rate. However, the structure was completely broken at the nailed point.

Group!4!has!the! largest!applied! failure!load,!while!

Group!2!is!the! least!

Group!2!has!the! highest!deflection! rate!while!Group!3!! deflects!the!least!

Group 4

Group 4 structure is the strongest as it can hold up to 600 kg before it breaks. The pinewood have 2 large knots which is a disadvantage, it breaks at the knots.

Comparison between working with actual construction materials as opposed to working with scale model making In actual construction materials, we have to consider the natural properties of the material, such as knots in timber, which may be a weakness.
