4.0 FOUNDATIONFoundation is the lower portion of the building usually located below ground level, which transmits the loads of the super structure to the supporting soil.

PURPOSE OF FOUNDATION: To hold together and increase the stability of the structure. To distribute the load of the structure over a large bearing area.To load the bearing surface at a uniform rate to prevent unequal settlement.To prevent the lateral movement of the supporting material.To secure a level and firm bed for building operations.

Foundations are generally divided into deep foundation and shallow foundation.

DEEP FOUNDATION: used to transfer the load of a structure down through the upper weak layer oftopsoil to the stronger layer of subsoil below. There are different types of deep footings includingimpact driven piles, drilled shafts and caissons.

CLASSIFICATION OF PILES

Used when the soil is soft and no hard strata available to a certain depth.Carrying capacity is derived mainly from the adhesion or friction of the soil in contact with the shaft of the pile.Transfer their load to the ground through skin friction.

Load StructurePile Cap PilesLower DensityMedium DensityHigher DensityThe structure carries heavy concentrated loads.Pile foundation is suitable when: The soil is very soft and solid bed is not available at a reasonable depth to keep the bearing power within safe limits. COLUMN LOAD- Transfer load from superstructure to pile cap. PILE CAP- Connect to the cluster of RC piles below to ensure equal load distribution.PREFABRICATED REINFORCED CONCRETE PILE- Transfer the loads towards the more stable stratum.FRICTIONAL FORCE - Produced by the resistance of earth mass to provide lateral stability.

4.0 FOUNDATIONStep 1: Piling


15PROCEDURE OF PILE FOUNDATION0319735Step 2: Pile Cap Step 3: Footing Step 4: Ground Beam

A pile is a column of concrete that extends downward deep into the soil. It is a type of deep foundation. A pile cap is defined as a concrete block cast on the head of a group of piles. Pile cap transfers the load from the structures to a pile group and the load further transfers to firm soil. A base that supports the structure. Footing is the wider part of concrete that goes under concrete wall and is used to keep the wall from sagging. Ground beams are designed to support brickwork or to form a permanent shutter to the edge of in-situ concrete floor slab. The beams can be designed to withstand any heave forces with the use of void forming or compressible materials. PROCESS OF PILE FOUNDATION (DETAILS)1. DRIVEStarter or drive pile until maximum at pile point.

2. WELD The plate join of adjacent pile for extension. 3. APPLY Bitumen at joint as water proofing coating to prevent rust.4. DRIVEThe extension pile into the ground until maximum. 5. CUTCut off the excessive extension pile using a pile cutting machine.6. EXCAVATESurrounding soil of the pile cluster by approximately 300mm depth.7. CASTThe pile cap in situ.8. LOAD TESTCarried out by putting loads on the pile for certain period. It is a pass If the pile does not crack.

EVELYN LAI KAH YING5.1 SLAB1903227328.ConsolidationOnce the concrete is in place, it should be consolidated to remove large air voids developed during placement and to make sure that the concrete has flowed into all of the corners and nooks of the formwork. This process is also called compacting.

9.FinishingFinal treatment of the concrete surface after it has been consolidated to achieve the desired properties. This can be as simple as pushing a wide blade over the fresh concrete surface to make it flat screeding.

10.CuringAs the concrete hardens and gains strength it becomes less and less vulnerable, so the critical time period is the first hours and days after it is placed.

7. Placing ConcretePlaced concrete into the formwork that defines its final position and shape.

REINFORCEMENT OF CONCRETE SLABSteel Reinforcing Bars and Welded Wire ReinforcementConcrete is very strong when it is squeezed in compression but very weak when it is being pulled apart in tension. Steel reinforcing bars and welded wire reinforcement are very strong in tension, have similar thermal expansion and contraction properties to those of the concrete, and thus can handle high-tension stresses while the concrete can take substantial compressive stresses.

ColumnBeamBeam is horizontal load bearing member which is used to withstand load. It does so by allowing the structure to maintain its shape and not bend. It is commonly reinforced with rebar. Column is vertical load bearing member which transfer loads from beams to the foundation. Reinforcement are applied to strengthen their compressive force.ColumnBeamBeam and column are elements that make up a buildings structure. For our particular site, the beams and column are made of concrete. There are two different type of concrete beams and columns, pre cast and in-situ. Pre cast being beams and columns that are pre-casted off site and brought on site to be assembled on to the structure and in-situ being casted on site using formwork which was that was used in our site.

Our site uses cast on site reinforced concrete. Concrete is strong in compression but weak in tensile forces. Therefore steel reinforcement bar(rebar) are applied. Into concrete beam, slab and column to increase their tensile strength and resist compression, tension, shear and bending.

Material: Reinforced Concrete, timber & steelPROCESS CONSTRACTING BEAM AND COLUMN


1. Setting up of reinforcement bars. The thickness of bars and the number of bars used depends on the load it has to bear.2. Cladding of formwork using plywood.

3. Cement is being poured into the formwork. A concrete vibrator is then used to release trapped air and excess water. 4. When the concrete of the columns have dried up after 28 days, cladding of formwork for beams can be done.5. Reinforcement bars for beams are set up. 6. Cement is poured into the formwork. A concrete vibrator is then use to ensure that the concrete settle firmly in place. 7. The formwork is removed after the concrete dried. Columns and beams are formed. Excess rebar on top of column is for continuation of rebar for next floor.


Timber formwork

Scaffolding

The timber is for plywood formwork, the oil beside it is used to paint on it so that the concrete will have shinny surface.

Lateral Reinforcement

Number of reinforcement bar used in columns may be varied instead of varying the size of columns. Formations of lateral reinforcement bars depends on the number of vertical reinforcement bars used in a column. Lateral ties should have a minimum diameter of 10 meter. Type of reinforcement used is usually T12, reinforcement steel with diameter of 12mm.

Concrete columns mat be supported by isolated footings or by pile caps.

Length of overlapping reinforcement bar is 24 times of the diameter of bar. Dowels tie column to support beam or slab. Vertical reinforcement should not be less than 1% nor more than 8% of the cross sectinal concrete beam. Types of reinforcement steel includes T12, T14, T16, T20, T25, T32 and T40. T represents reinforcement steel and the numbers indicates the diameter.

Identify brickwork location and door positionUse planks and nails to prop up metal door frame. Ensure the correct direction of the door hinge then erect the door frame.Use spirit leveller to check whether the frame is properly plumbed.Begin brickwork by laying the bring into the rebate behind the back or the metal door frame. Place mortar into each gap between the brick and frame of each layer. This is to ensure the frame is properly filled to give rigidity and strength by becoming an integral part of the structure.Wire masonry anchors are used to ties with the brick and the metal door frame. These tie are for binding the bricks.

7.0 ROOFINGPart of a building envelope that covers the uppermost part of a building or shelter which provide protection from weather and animals.

CHONG YU XUAN7.1 TYPE OF ROOF44ROOFScaffolding font size: 14 0317950SLED ROOF Also known as the monopitched roof, is a roof structure that has one sloping surface and the sloped surface does not rest on any form of wall on the opposite ends. Monopitched roof encourages good drainage during rainy weather as well as aiding in reflecting heat away from the building if oriented appropriately. It is one of the easiest roof structures to build and requires less cost. Our site consist of 2 types of sled roof:Metal roofClay tiled roof

CONSTRUCTION PROCESS OF METAL ROOF1.The rafters are installed following the direction of the roof slope. Each rafters are 12 to 24 inches apart. The rafters act as the spine for the roof.

Rafters

2.Then the purlin is installed with a string like tool called tie rod, which is used to hold the purlin in position so that the distance between each purlin will be the same.

PurlinTie rod3. After purlin and rafter, A layer of reflective foil laminate is put into place. It helps cooling and prevents condensation. Which can cause roofing sheets to rust prematurely.

Reflective foil laminate4. Next will be putting on the metal roofing sheetsThe metal roofing sheets are light, and are usually passed up to the roof by hand, one by one. Theyre laid in place, and are carefully marked and cut for hips and valleys. Metal sheets is then drilled and screwed down.

CONSTRUCTION PROCESS OF CLAY TILED ROOF

1. The construction of tiled roof begins withinstallation of the guttering and fascia boards.2. Measurements are made and set-out nails are hammered in place along the raftersto hold the battens, which are timber pieces that run horizontally across the surface of the roof to keep everything in place.3. A layer of sarking (commonly a reflective foil laminate, or RFL) is then laid down over these set-out nails, with the reflective side facing downwards.4. Next, anti-ponding board (APB) is installed underneath the sarking at the edges of the roof. The purpose of the anti-ponding board is to prevent water from pooling underneath the tiles at the outer edge of the roof.5.Tiles are then laid out across the roof and clipped on. Tiles at the edges are cut to make even lines along the hips and valleys of the roof. BattensReflective foilRafters

8.0 SUMMARYCHONG YU XUAN0317950

SUMMARYIn this project, we learn about the construction process which is the part where ideas become reality. The underappreciated middle part of architecture. We studied the building process through observation, self-experience and also research. From site & safety, plant and machineries, external works, foundation, superstructure, doors, windows to roofs. Each part of the process shows utmost importance in producing the final outcome, the piece of architecture that the people can enjoy.
