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.
