Westfield shopping centre's car park

Structure of this area is a combination of concrete columns and steel beams.
Steel beams are covered by cement for additional protection

There is two different kinds of beams in dimensions and that's because of the load that they were expected to support.

TAC Building

TAC building is located in Brougham street in Geelong (behind Waterfront campus).
These two columns are incomplete and they are waiting for the next floor to add on top of them. Steels that are coming out of the concrete columns give the ability of extension for next levels.
This building is constructing by reinforced concrete, there is supporting beams and columns till concrete construction take its place.
Concrete in this building is Pre-cast and transport from factory to site which gives higher quality control in materials.
