BLOG 12- CASE STUDY

 PREFABRICATED NATURE

LOCATION: Cedeira, Spain
BUILDING TYPE: vacation house
MATERIALS:
  •  perforated COR-TEN weathering steel panels- facade
  •  viroc(a prefabricated panel composed of eucalyptus wood shavings in a cement-based matrix)- roof and side facades
PLANNING:

Six prefabricated modules- 
Three of the prefabricated modules were combined into the open living space, while the other three contain bedrooms, a bath and stair, and a kitchen, respectively.
attic- 
 sea views toward the southwest and the forest to the northeast

CONSTRUCTION:

  • galvanized steel columns and beams
  • concrete floor decks
  • facade walls total 2.2' (660 mm) in thickness and include a ventilated rain screen and a total of 4.7" (120 mm) of insulation. 


ST.ANDREWS BEACH HOUSE

LOCATION: Victoria, Australia 
BUILDING TYPE: beach house
MATERIALS: recyclable steel, wood, and glass

PLANNING:
organized in two distinct elements connected by a promenade deck-
  • an open dining/living space
  • compartmented bedrooms and a study
 The plan is a 1:6 rectangle, supported by columns at the quarter points. Rooms typically are 1:1.5 rectangles in the plan, and 1:2 rectangles in section.

The building is raised on columns with parking and storage underneath.

SPECIAL FEATURE:
The house has a protective outer layer made from industrial steel floor gratings, which hinge open to form brise-soleil shutters.

The shutters reduce glare and radiant heat gain on the home’s glass exterior walls.

Steel Erection, Fabrication and Hybrid construction -Blog 16

Image
This blog is about how the steel sections are transported to the site, the issues involved with transportation, erection and fabrication along with the onsite constrains. TRANSPORTATION: The steel sections have to transported from the manufacturing site to the fabrication site and this becomes a tough task due to their size. Often large pieces cannot be transported in a single part, they are split or divided and shipped as two separate pieces or even as one piece to avoid damage or scratches. Temporary connections are made on the pieces to avoid damage and to keep the parts in place during transportation.     These parts are not transported in normal vehicles but require long trail vehicles to fit their length and size which again becomes a difficult task to turn around the corners of the road and at junctions     FABRICATION & ON SITE CONSTRAINS: Fabrication of steel on sites which are along the main road or at the corner site is very hectic as there is very...

BLOG-16 FABRICATION, ERECTION AND HYBRID STRUCTURES

Image
  FABRICATION: The process of  steel fabrication  involves grinding, welding, cutting, bending, drilling, punching, burning or melting and other general crafting methods using various high-quality tools and CNC equipment. ERECTION LIFTING, POSITIONING AND PLACING OF STEEL MEMBERS IN A STRUCTURE  Once the member(s) are lifted and placed in the required place, with the help of temporary supports and equipment, they are fastened and fixed, depending on the nature of connection.  Erections may be achieved by two techniques such as MEWP(Mobile Elevating Work Platforms) by Mobile crane and Tower cranes. HYBRID STRUCTURES Hybrid structures are structures built with composite materials a combination of different materials with steel. A common  hybrid system  consists of hollow core slabs together with steel or cast-in-situ concrete frames                       EXAMPLE STEEL WITH TIMBER     I...

BLOG- 8                                     STEEL , ALLOYS AND THEIR COMPARISON                                                               STEEL AND ALLOYS                                               An alloy is a blend consisting of metal and other elements. Alloys are generally made for achieving properties like greater strength or resistance to corrosion. Steel is an alloy of iron. It mainly consists of iron with some small amounts of carbon. Definition ALLOY :      A homogeneous mixture of a metal with other types of elements                       ...
