Well this will be my last post for src- 251, an I’d like to thank all out there in internet land! Overall I learnt a great deal from this subject and have most definitely become more knowledgeable in both construction and architecture! Thanks J-Ham

Visiting melbourne on the w/e i deceided to stop off at fed square for quick look an a few photo's, its a real interesting place/space to be in and the contrction is amazing. Though i did manage to loose my photo's :(, so i pulled the above off the -http://www.fedsq.com/index.cfm?pageID=56-Australia's first trapezoidal composite steel formwork system, it has enjoyed specification and use on some of
KF70 is a revolutionary new formwork profile able to achieve large unpropped spans and savings on concrete providing lower overall slab costs.
The Car park for the Royal Hospital of Adelaide had originally put forth a tender for the traditional re-entrant profile. Fielders were able to provide an alternative KF70 design for the project with the cooperation of the developers, contractors, engineers and form workers, King Form. The car park uses conventional steel framed construction with a composite concrete slab between the secondary and primary steel beam framework. Through the design development stage, a cost saving scheme was introduced and saved 10% to the major building items cost items present in the floor component of the structure, a fact well worth considering on your next project. Overall this saved a whopping $255,000 on the major cost items of the flooring component, this represented a HUGE cost saving of over $8.00 per square metre of floor area. Not to bad I think, I wouldn’t mind that 255k in my back pocket….

Plywood Box Beams
In line with tradition of the timber supplier, plywood box beams demonstrate the capability of timber and timber as a construction material. Consequently, the complex consciously displays a diversity of different timber based products, structural forms and jointing techniques.
Solid timber is used in bolted columns, framing and trusses and plywood in diaphragms, shear walls and external cladding. Plywood is also matched with other timber products in the webs of beams and as nailed gusset plates. Glue laminated elements, mainly radiata pine, form the main portal frames while LVL is used in bolted and nailed trusses and as a framing material.
In some parts of the building, structural and constructional simplicity was the key. The large warehouse, with its 30 m span plywood box beams, was devised so that the entire roof structure could be assembled, serviced and clad on the ground. With the supporting columns hinged to the end of each plywood box beam, the completed roof was raised in a single crane lift. The corner bolts were then fixed and the braces nailed home. Plywood shear walls brace each end of the building. In other parts of the building, there is a visual cacophony of forms and structures.
The project is Vodafone Arena is a leading-edge 10,000 seat stadium, it was built using the latest in construction techniques. Uses for the stadium include sports such as track-cycling, basketball and tennis, as well as serving as an entertainment venue as we all know. A vital design specification was that the 3108m2 openable roof was reliable, strong and wouldn't rust. Opened recently, it was hailed by Tennis World as the major success of the 2001 Australian Open.
The solution was Fielders' KingKlip 700 zincalume cladding. The 700mm concealed-fix roofing sheets were rolled on-site to 27 metre lengths, using Fielders' mobile roofing mill. A onsite Architect requested on-site rolling of the cladding to reduce the risk of sheet damage through packaging and handling – which they had experienced on other jobs using older style materials, they used wide sheets which meant workers could get the building envelope sealed quickly. "We cut down on problems such as strapping and shipping, which can be an issue with pre-packaged materials," he said. "Sheets can be dented or bent and paint stripped - all unsightly and all leading to corrosion and rust in the long term. But this is not an issue with the guaranteed Fielders product."
