·LVL --- Laminate Veneer Lamber different veneers glue together in the same direction Characteristics: 1.Very common used in construction site today 2.Cheap 3.Very resistant, can take long distance and used in big span 4.Quite light so it’s very easy to handle
·reinforcing steel bars
Form Ply wood --used in formwook
CONSTRUCTING ENVIRONMENTS SEMESTER 2 2013 WEEK 10 JOURNAL DETAILNG VOLUME (PART TWO) NAME: ZEYU LI (VICKY) STUDENT NUMBER: 634091 ·Masonry wall (bricks) --- Construction type ·Retaining wall --- Resisting the lateral force or pressure from the soil. --- Gravity retaining wall: depends on their materials, uses concrete block here, uses their mass to resist, so it’s gravity retaining wall or cantilevered concrete retaining wall

SEMESTER 2 2013
hole Retaining wall ·water drainage --- to keep water away: when it rains, water come to site and it can keep stormwater away to low level --- Hole: water can drip from wall to the hole and into the pipe. --- Edge drainge always as high as footing to keep water seek into the gaps between the drainge and the footing. ·Bracing --- a indispensable member in timber structure Categories:
Rod bracing : Very light material and it can saving money Fix bracing : Just welded
In all structures, it can strongly resists the lateral forces, such as wind force and earthquake → very stable member
* In here, it uses rod bracing a lot
CONSTRUCTING ENVIRONMENTS WEEK 10 JOURNAL DETAILNG VOLUME (PART TWO) NAME: ZEYU LI (VICKY) STUDENT NUMBER: 634091 ·Formwork --- a box which used to shape the concrete *With reinforcing bar, it is a reinforced concrete
SEMESTER 2 2013
·Roof system:
Noise Purlin → timber → batten → insulation Heat → roof Moisture ·Top window --- for air circulation Waterproofing: flashing over cladding ·Glazing --- non structural member, can support by them themselves (self supporting)

·Timber wall --- Tongue and Groove --- Pros: it’s difficult to recognize joint area easy to assemble

(Builder bill 2013, tongue and groove ioints) 路Props --- a temporary support the formwork until concerte is cured, prevent failing --- In concrete, it needs 28 days to cure, but commonly props can remove after 2 weeks when concrete pour into the formwork

路Insulation sheet colour: 1. Blue --- water 2. White --- common 3. Orange --- electricity 路Z shaped purlin --- can used in the long span --- second structure member
--- V.S. C shaped purlin: Z shaped purlin is much easier to connect with each other
