St. Andrews beach house, Australia

first, let see about the location, the site is elevated and exposed to sea view. so in winter, it can be forced to glace winds, their design intention is to have minimum exposure although the house is beach bouse, only the room to room necessity are exposed to summer heat and winter chill main idea is to chill from office work and spending their weekend's characteristics of the Australian architecture is redesigned and abstracted in their functional and landscape quality.

The materiality of this design, more of recyclable steel and glass are used steel floor gratings are used as protective layer shutters are used to reduce glare and radiant heat and it is also used cover the roof as a renewable source the floor finished and exterior decking is made up of recyclable wood.

The vacation house - prefabricated-Spain

this house is prefabricated in three months. The terrain of the land is steep and the vegetation of the forest is major of eucalyptus. spaces are wisely connected with the surrounding landscape there were a total of six modules, three were combined into the living space, while the other three contain a bedroom, bath, and stairs. space above the module opens to view the sea and acts as a multifunctional area. Depending upon the surrounding landscape material is used.

Glass facades are perforated with COR-TEN steel panels (Cor-ten is a high strength, low alloy, weldable structural steel). meal screen used in filtration of sunlight and it also acts as shutters providing protection from storm and intruders. viroc is a prefabricated panel composed of eucalyptus and cement matrix. it is used in roofs and facades. now let's see how this prefabricated modules traveled over 435 miles are getting assembled.

Beams and galvanized steel columns are the frames, steel decking, and concrete slabs for floor decks. COR-TEN screens are secured with stainless screws and several piles are laid inside for overlocking.bi folding steel gramed shutters are used over windows and doors.

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...

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                       ...
