MAJOR PROJECT POSTER...

tilt up concrete panels

Week 04 (PHOTOS OF LOAD BEARING CONCRETE 'DANDENONG')

The actual factory is built using a portal frame, but the office area at the front is being built with load bearing concrete. I am guess it is Pre Cast Concrete because the window/door openings would of most likely been done off site
Bracing is used to hold the concrete in position
Cleats are used to hold the panels together
A filler is used on the ground to keep the panels levels.

PHOTOS TAKEN FROM A FACTORY (GEORGE ARCHER METALS IN DANDENONG)

- Basic portal frame
- Ridge apex
- Steel plates factory welded to steel rafters and then bolted together at the ridge
- Steel purlins running perpendicular to rafters
- At the end of the building there is some steel bracing to help the structure from skewing
- Bottom left is some engineered steel cantilevers coming out of two columns. This is for the crane and needs to be strong.
