Activity 5

Aim
The aim of this activity is to gain a high-level understanding of structural engineering design Process.

Deliverable
The solutions, answers and discussions on this activity must be included in Group Activity Report 3.

Introduction
This activity is based on the 'Hotel at Sydney Airport' as the case project. The project has two sets of structural design drawings: one for the tender stage and the other for the construction stage. Changes have been made to the tender stage drawings for the construction phase. Through reviewing these drawings, you can note who the structural engineer will need to collaborate and coordinate with and for what purposes to develop the design. It's also important to understand how adjacent infrastructure may influence the structural design and how certain standards may inform the structural design process

Task 1
Review structural drawings for Tender and Construction and:
» Identify 3 structural changes between Tender and Construction drawings. Summarise pros and cons of the changes.
Changes:
1. Pile loading (foundation loadings) on ground floor are reduced in dimension (still the same amount of piles)
Tender:

» Identify three key collaborators to project that interface with the structural design- other consultants or subconsultants - and summarise the collaboration that would need to happen (150 words for each) Get Professional Assignment Help Service Now!

Task 2
The site is adjacent to a rail corridor on our southern boundary, owned by ARTC. Summarise the impact this has had on the structural design development by:
» Review and summarise relevant collision clauses within AS5100.2 (hint: Refer to Sections 11 and 15)
» Review structural Tender and Construction drawings. Identify structural upgrades implemented to address adjacent rail corridor between these drawing issues (hint - separate columns, core and slabs)

Activity 6

Aim
The aim of this activity is to learn how to make managerial decisions in the structural design of concrete-framed buildings while preserving the desired architectural layout as much as possible.

Deliverable
The solutions, answers and discussions on this activity must be included in Group Activity
Report 3.

Introduction
This activity is based on an 'Apartment Building in Sydney CBD' as the case project. There are three sheets of drawings corresponding Level 6, Ground Floor, Basement Level. The building is made of concrete framed and we want you to explore different aspects of the design to develop an understanding of structural design planning, i.e. how different design elements, such as slab spans, thickness, and movement joints, come together in a concrete framed building. The following tasks do not require any calculations or a background in structural engineering.They are primarily focused on understanding how to align architectural layout with structural design requirements. Review the drawings and undertake the following tasks:

Task 1- Slab Spans
» Review architectural layout for Level 6 and apply a column grid through the building to achieve a 200mm thick flat slab.
» Use an 8m x 8m grid, with 7m max. end spans and 2.8m max cantilever
» End spans occur at the edge of the building as well as next to penetrations like lift and stair cores
» Circle areas where a wet area set down is next to a column and would require a slab fold to achieve a 90min FRL
» Mark up a column grid for a 250mm thick slab
» Use a 9m x 9m grid with 8m max. end spans and 3.2m max cantilevers
You can either hand draw or use markup software tools to overlay the grids on the floor layouts.
Using markup software like Bluebeam will make the process faster and easier. The same
applies to the following tasks.

Task 2- Transfers
» The builder wants to go with a 200mm thick slab. Take your column grid down to Ground Floor and Basement Level. Mark up all of the transfer locations that would be required.
For this task, you may refer to the principles that determine when and where a transfer
element is required in the framing of a building.

Task 3: Movement Joints
» The building is over 100m long so needs a permanent movement joint. Find a location that works best on all levels.

The same principles as the previous task apply here. More than that, the joint cannot go through a transfer beam.
