BACK to main page Preparation of Pad Footing Floating the bolts (Fig. C003) > hole excavated ready for concrete foundation > holding down bolts are then inserted and fixed to a timber base plate, which is same size as the steel base plate and holes are in the same position. > timber base plate fixed to a temporary timber frame > temporary timber frame fixed to correct level by pegged into the surrounding ground and held at the correct position > concrete can be poured around the bolts after level checked (Fig.C003) next >>

Steel Portal Frame > economic alternative to warehouse structure > To be effective a pitched roof portal frame should have as low a pitch as practical to minimize spread at the knee joint. > the connection to the column haunched at the knee joint to make the connection deeper and stiffer > the haunching can be fabricated by welding a I-section to the rafter, which is the most economic in steel fabrication. - Design by architect - Liasion with structural engineer - Tender documents - Quotes from steel fabricator - Shop drawings—accurate details by draftsperson - Fabrication—off site - erection of steelwork BACK to main page next >>

BACK to main page Knee Joint Haunch to the steel portal frame at knee joint > The haunched connection of the rafter to the column can be fabricated by welding a I-cut section haunching to the underside of the rafter> the haunch length is usually of the order of 10%-15% of the span of the rafter> with the depth of the section at the haunch is about twice of rafter depth > web stiffener welded to top of column bolt connection from column to haunching << back next >>

BACK to main page Precast Concrete PanelAdvantage - good sound reduction - good fire resistance - loadbearing capacity - high thermal mass (less variation of temperture) Disadvantage - large amount of work required on-site - negerates waste on-site (drilling holes for services - units are heavy - high degree of finishing required on-site next >>

BACK to main page Steel Sheet Cladding - Roof/wall sheeting: approx. 0.4mm thick- Made from zincalume (Zinc & aluminium coated steel)- Available in a variety of profiles, including traditional corrugated and concealed fixed products- Sheeting is usually ‘custom cut’ by the manufacturer to suit the requirements for a particular job- Spanning capabilities: roof: 1200mm – corrugated sheeting; 2700mm –stronger, deeper profiles walls: can be 25 – 50% greater than roof spans Advantages - Cost effective - Lightweight - High structural capacity - Low maintenance - Consistency of quality - Zincalume steel: high solar reflectance qualities; rapid heat dissipation Disadvantages - Limitation to heights that can be reached by sheeting next >>
