3D Configuration of Warehouse




These are images of Warehouse on Microstation. I chose portal frame construction system to design needed space. The detail that I used are related to the building of Herzog & de Meuron that shown on plan and section.

Steel reinforcing in concrete

Reinforcing steel use in concrete to make it strenght and hold the concrete. It also protect concrete from cracking and limit it to happen in concrete. Concretes that carries heavy loads such as footing, foundation walls and specially columns requier reinforcing steel.

Diagram of different portal frames



Portal frames can be used in timber for commercial and industrial buildings with large spans.
These diagrams show different usage of timber portal frames in different usages.

Portal frames are consist of thick galvanised steel and they fix together through bolts to make it more stronger.

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.
