Major Assignment

Finished poster for Major assignemt showing all aspects involved and the erection of tilt up construction intersecting with steel universal column.

Research for Assignment

The diagram shows the importance of planning involved in concrete tilt up construction. The placement of the panels once lifted into position and the temporary bracing before connection to steel frame.

Structural engineers sketch of Universal beam connection to existing concrete slab

Architectural detail- Corner of factory using non structural tilt up construction. The connection shows location but does not nominate the size of universal columns or panels.

Architectural Drawing of proposed Factory.

The drawing shows the importance of the grid system and the relation of this to the structural and design detaing for the building. All drawings will relate to the image and grid set out by Architect.

Assignment research

The diagram show the stach casting arrangement for tilt up construction
taken from the Tilt Up concrete construction handbook.

Major Assignment research

This diagram was taken from the Concrete Tilt up manual, Concrete Association of Australia and shows the lifting inserts required for a centre and edge lift of concrete panels.
These teqniques can be adopted for both tilt up and pre-cast construction.

This picture shows the vertical formwork and whaling systems utilised when concrete poured on site. This is for a central stairwell shaft that continues from floor to floor.

Engineers Drawing Universal column and Beam connection.

The drawing shows position and type of bolts used for the nominated connection of steel mambers. This drawing was gained from a structural engineer.

Major assignment Research

This is a photo of shop drawings for the production of pre cast concrete panels. The drawings nominated the reinforcing, size, weight of each panel for proposed building.
