PULAU BANDING RESEARCH CENTER

The Pulau Banding Rainforest Research Centre is located in an environmentally sensitive area at the heart of the BelumTemenggor Forest Complex in Gerik, Malaysia. (Pulau Banding Rainforest Research Centre / C' arch, 2014) It was built by Architect C'arch in 2008. The building total area have 286 m² . The weather of the site is hot and humid as Malaysia is a tropical country.

It was developed as a result of multiple consultations with different NGO's and is an important part of the client's dedication to sustainable development on the island. The idea of design includes CED values in terms of low energy solutions to cooling, selection of materials and insulation With open landscape, it invites participation of researchers to station there. The design of Pulau Banding Rainforest Research Center also ensure the consideration of local community, orang asli around the site. (Pulau Banding Charter)

Pulau Banding Rainforest Research Center consists of 2 laborateries, library, an office and open terrace. The aim of the building is to cultivate intellectual awareness of the forest complex. The elements of environmentally friendly for the building is by having deep roof overhangs, open terraces for siting and sleeping. The spaces is connected by landscape. (Pulau Banding Rainforest Research Centre / C' arch, 2014)

Strip foundations (or strip footings) are a type of shallow foundation that are used to provide a continuous, level (or sometimes stepped) strip of support for linear structures such as walls or closely-spaced rows of columns that are built on top of the foundation, placed centrally along their length.

Steel beams are a crucial support for the construction of buildings, structures, and any construction project.

Advantages of Steel Beam

higher vertical load capacity. reduce deflection of the mid-span

Pitched roof is used in Pulau Banding Research Center. A pitched roof is a roof that slopes downwards, typically in two parts at an angle from a central ridge

to support metal deck to support roof structure

Metal Deck is the finishes used for roof covering

STEEL STAIRCASE MATERIALITY

Steel staircase is simple design with high durability, practicality, beautiful appearance and small footprint. The steps are made out of patterned steel plates which provide more friction to the surface area. All staircase components need to be sprayed with anticorrosion paint or galvanized to prevent rusting or corrosion occurs.

BRICK

A brick is building material used to make walls, pavements and other elements in masonry construction.

Classification Of Bricks: Common Bricks

Most are about eight inches long and four inches thick

Long-lasting.

Generally used for internal brickwork only.

ADVANTAGE DISADVANTAGE

Low cost .

Easily for work Weatherproof.

STEEL

Lower compressive strengths than other bricks

Less focus put into a consistent appearance.

Steel, alloy of iron and carbon in which the carbon content. By far the most widely used material for building the world’s infrastructure and industries, it is used to fabricate everything from sewing needles to oil tankers [E.F.Wondris, J. N. (n.d.)

ADVANTAGE DISADVANTAGE

Lesser Construction Time

High Strength And Light Weight

Nature

Uniformity, Durability And Performance

High Maintenance Costs And More Corrosion

Fireproofing Costs

Susceptibility To Buckling

TIMBER

Sustainable timber has the lowest embodied energy (energy used in its processing, production and transport, from tree to consumer use) of any mainstream building material

ADVANTAGE DISADVANTAGE

versatile materials used within the construction industry

great for insulation

At the top staircase, the steel plates are bolted into the floor slab to provide more support to the staircase using bolt and nut.

The balusters of the steel staircase are welded onto the stringer of the staircase

withstanding harsh weather conditions

REINFORCED CONCRETE

may shrink or swell as it has the ability to absorb water not be able to withstand the heat and flames

Reinforced concrete in which steel is embedded in such a manner that the two materials act together in resisting forces. The reinforcing steel rods, bars, or mesh absorbs the tensile, shear, and sometimes the compressive stresses in a concrete structure

ADVANTAGE DISADVANTAGE

high compressive strength can also withstand a good amount of tensile stress

Fire and weather resistance of reinforced concrete is fair

The main steps of using reinforced concrete are mixing, casting, and curing. All of this affects the final strength higher cost

FOUNDATION TO WALL OVERALL SECTION

Based on the section drawing, it shown that the buildings have a 7 meters depth with open fenestrations located on both sides. The superstructure of the building is steel frame, and the wall which called "Huruhara" is a combination of lightweight recycled bricks salvaged from existing buildings with shiplap timber cladding. The building design with a deep roof overhang which called "salari roof" with a 2 meter eave. It double-layered sinusoidal profiled metal deck roof with a 300mm ventilated air-gap acting as a natural insulating stratum for the internal space. [ ISSN (2014, July 18) Pulau Banding Rainforest Research Centre / C' arch ]

The foundation used in this building is shallow foundation which is strip foundation as the building is located at the higher part of the topography, where firmer soil can be found. Shallow foundations are usually used where the load by the structure is relatively low to the bearing capacity of the surface soils. Strip foundations are suitable to use on soil that has good bearing capacity for supporting linear loads. (Designing Buildings, n.d.) The depth of foundation is about 800mm to 4meters

The flooring in this building is cement screeding. The wall is made up of recycled brick and it is topped with shiplap timber cladding attached by wooden barrier.

STAIRCASE DETAIL

ROOF DETAIL

Pulau Banding Rainforest Research Centre has used steel metal deck as roofing. (Pulau Banding Rainforest Research Centre / C' arch, 2014) The construction of the roof used mild steel rafter and mild steel C-channel. It also uses mild steel beam to support the roof rafter and metal deck roofing. The roof’s edge is covered by steel fascia board. (PEOPLE. THINK. SPACE., n.d.)

The roof has timber strip ceiling panel and connected to steel rafter using timber barrier and nailed. The edge between wall and roof is covered by slanted timber ceiling. The connection between wall and roof beam is connected and supported by mild steel hollow section.
