My tirp on the way to uni ensures I pass a few commerical construction sites, and this Settlement Rd site is one of them. Andy and I stopped off to grab some photos on a particularly useful day, as the workers were placing up tilt-up concrete panels. It was amazing to see the crane lift them and how these massive structures were put into place. It was also good to see some portal framed structures and skeletons, and also the discovery of the use of Bondek on concrete flooring systems.We got a good look at the panel from being lifted up right to it being place into position, which turned out to be very interesting to see first hand.
We found it interesting to see the mechanisms used to hold up the tilit-up panles once they were erected, which i never new were used to assist in the final stages of the process.
It was good to get a really clear vPortal Frame Construction.

Construction + Structures 2
Construction and Strcutures 2 is one of the four subjects most second year architects must study. As implied by the subject name, it is concerned with the construction and structures of buildings, namely commercial and smaller multistorey buildings. Blogs will be constructed to display research and work undertaken throughout the semester.
