Constructing Envs; Week 6 - Model making

Madelaine Walsh 635 805

Our group has been focusing on the extension of the MSLE building on campus at Melbourne University. A new structure/foyer area has been built which joins the two existing buildings together. The primary structures of the MSLE extension were identified as:

Ø Load bearing walls Ø Steel beams Ø Timber rafters Ø Existing brickwork Ø Existing concrete slab

Secondary structures:

Ø Timber battens Ø Timber joists Ø Lino flooring Ø Plaster board Ø Colour-bond roof sheeting

The roof structure over the new extension was constructed using steel L beams bolted into the existing brick walls. The primary wall structures were existing brick with timber stud walls, plaster board cladding and a fire curtains. The floor system was composed of an existing concrete and steel structure. After looking through the plans as a group, we found that the new MSLE extension receives structural support from the two adjacent buildings, which have pad and pile footings. The extension is set on an existing concrete slab.

- When pad footings are used, there is usually a column or pier sitting in the middle of a square base. These types of footings help to spread the load out.

- Piles are a less expensive type of foundation system and often depend on the soil type surrounding the structure.

The plans for the MSLE extension were drawn up at 1:100, so we aimed to complete our model at a scale of 1:50, which would be double what was seen in the plans. In class we worked with the floor, ceiling and roof plans to construct an appropriate model of the structural components of the MSLE extension. We started by with the floor as the base and built up from there. As the roof is composed of steel purlins that run horizontally across the roof we needed to figure out how these would have been attached to the existing walls. The plans showed the purlins being

bolted into the existing walls. We used pins as “bolts” to secure the purlins from one wall to the other. We were able to work out the length of the purlins by looking at the measurements of the floor as well as measuring the purlins on the architectural plans. In our first attempt of attaching the purlins we spaced them out evenly along the roof however, the plans actually showed that they were not evenly spaced along the width of the roof due to the placement of the skylights. The screenshot from the plans to the right shows the relationship between the steel purlins and the skylights on the roof of the extension. In the second attempt of this we followed the spacing used on the actual plans to the best of our ability to give a better representation of where the skylights would be in the roof.

Spacing of steel purlins according to the roof plans, larger gaps left for skylights.



After successfully constructing the roof, we looked at the construction of the mezzanine level. Leading up from the stairs at the rear of the extension the mezzanine level sits on a number of galvanised steel beams. The steel beams are bolted into the existing brick wall and support the load/ weight of the additional level. The first time we attempted to build in the 6 “steel beams” we laid them flat, however this turned out to not be enough to support the weight of the mezzanine. We tried again, this time turning the beams around so that they were able to better support the additional level. Once again we used pins to secure/bolt the beams into the walls. This method worked quite well as it held the beams in the correct place.

Galvanised steel would have been used in the roof structure of this area, as seen in the image above, There was galvanised steel beams that would’ve been bolted to the existing buildings in order for the roof to hold lateral and vertical forces.

Beams turned on vertical axis were able to better support the load of the mezzanine level.

Beams placed flat/horizontally, bolted into existing wall were not able to effectively support extra load.



The final part of the structure we added to our model was the stairwell area at the rear of the building. This area continues on from the corridor between the two existing buildings and houses the staircase leasing up to the mezzanine. Using the width of the floor already in place we took more measurements form the plans and constructed the rectangle and hexagonal floor for the stairwell. We then built the walls up from here. Overall our model was able to depict the major structural elements of the MSLE extension even though it may not have been the neatest/ most precise model. If we were to redo the model I think it would have been a better idea to use a combination of pasteboard and balsa wood to effectively show the structure of the building. I think balsa wood would have been good to use for the steel beams and purlins.
