1.3 Describe the following terms that help to understand the structural principles of residential low-
rise structures.
Verbally interviewed

Term Meaning
Load
- Refers to the physical weight imposed on the building/structure and
the consequential pressure of this.
- Loads include those which are fixed, known as dead loads.
- Loads can be variable such as movement within the building,
known as live loads.
- Environmental loads also exist, such as wind and snow loads.

Dead load
A non-moveable weight, for example a concrete slab, walls, roof
etc.

Live load
A moveable weight, for example, people, house hold furniture, light
fittings etc.

Wind load
The positive pressure against a building, induced by wind.

Shrinkage load
volumetric change of one element due to loss of moisture without
external load for many factors. (Weather, or components chemicals)

© ATAR Design. All rights reserved. No part of this work may be produced, published, communicated to the Services Training Package
public or adapted without permission. Page 16 of 80

Term Meaning
Thermal load Temperature changes in the weather and seasons, have an effect on
building structures. Heat may cause expansion in building materials,
while cold may cause the opposite, which is contractions.
Heat is responsible for evaporation of moisture from soils and causes
contraction, while cold weather in the alpine regions; ice actually
expands.

Settlement load
Settlement is the downward movement of the base of a structure.
The effect upon the structure depends on its magnitude, its uniformity,
length of time it takes place, and the nature of the structure itself.

Compressive load
Compression is the opposite of tension as this force acts a manner
that tends to shorten/compress together. This force is a compressive
force and the body is in a state of compression when under load.

Shear load
Shear is when an object goes in opposite directions, a perpendicular
tearing force.

Tensile load
Tension is the force that tends to stretch/lengthen an object/body.
This force is known as tensile force and the body is commonly known
as in a state of tension if under load.

Bending loads
A bending force is when a weight forces a particular material to have
a bow. The member experiences compression in the top of it and
tension in the bottom.

• Working out the practicalities of the design
• Preparing site analysis reports including recognition of any site constraints
• Preparing contract documentation (including build specifications and
working drawings)
• Administering contracts and the tendering process

Building surveyors
They check that new buildings comply with the Building Code of
Australia (BCA); they also check that maintenance, repair, alterations and renovations of existing
buildings comply with the BCA. They employ building inspectors to check the site to ensure
the minimum requirements of the BCA are being met. They must also advise on laws and regulations
for construction and safety and undertake structural surveys and prepare reports of these;
they negotiate with local authorities to obtain approvals under planning acts and other relevant legislation. They may also:
• Assess building plans to check they meet the requirements of building regulations and codes of practice
• Advise builders and owners of potential problems in plans
• Recommend additional community facilities/amenities as a result of the build
• Inspect all types of buildings before purchase and inspect buildings during construction to ensure they meet building regulations
• Maintain records of progress on the construction and document occurrences of breaches in regulations or
unapproved alterations
• Give evidence in court for breaches of building regulations
• Issue certificates on completion of the build to show compliance
Drafts people

They produce different types of drawings for architects and structural advice on the build for engineers,
they may also:
• Work on the design brief
• Calculate structural requirements and strengths
• Prepare feasibility studies on constructing the build
• Estimate costs for the build • Prepare permit documentation

Engineers

Engineering is a professional discipline that deals with the designing, planning, construction, and
management of infrastructures such as roads, tunnels, bridges, airports, railroads, facilities, buildings,
dams, utilities and other projects.
• Geotechnical engineers who assess the land and soil of the construction site; they inspect and take
samples to analyse and determine the best footing systems
• Services engineers who provide expertise for specific technical requirements of the build, for example,
acoustics, lighting and electrics, and security systems
• Structural engineers who design the structural components of a building such as the concrete slab or the
footings; they may also prepare reports about structural-related aspects

1.8 What is a pre-commencement site inspection?


Verbally interviewed

A pre-commencement inspection is an analysis of the designs and plans and how they
will relate to a particular site. This is done to ensure that the preliminary designs and
plans are correct and match the site.
Often a pre-commencement inspection will involve the physical inspection of the land.
A comparison will be made of the drawings, plans and specifications to ensure that they
are the correct ones that are intended for the site in question.

• Checking the surveyors drawings, specifically the contours plans ensuring that they match
the site in question.

• Investigating the access to the site and whether it will facilitate the needs of a building project

i.e. can be trucks enter, turn around, Park or operate without obstruction.

• The location of all services will need to be verified against documentation to ensure that they

are correct. If assumptions made such as the availability of water or power and this proves to

be false then it could either be both are very costly exercise to rectify.

• Environmental inspection should also be undertaken these can include any issue that may

occur with drainage, or if any aspects of the project impact on the local environment. Often

a drainage plan or site drainage management plan will be referred to in this part of the

investigation.

• The location of any adjacent buildings will also be noted.


• Any other obvious issues on site such as location of trees, location offences, as well as a site

set out can all be checked against documentation in a pre-site inspection.

• Requirements may also be under investigation such as the need for fencing for the site or

the need for centre Terry facilities such as portable toilets.

• Upon this inspection builders will usually compile an inspection report and can utilise pre-site
inspection checklist's to facilitate inspections.

• Various other items can be checked to ensure that everything is in place ready for the project

to commence.

1.9 Develop a checklist and determine the wind classification and designated wind speed for a site
using the following data.

The house is located on the waterfront at Port Phillip Bay (Melbourne Victoria) and is located in a
residential suburbia development.

The area surrounding the proposed home is very flat in the immediate vicinity but changes to
gentle hills some 1km distance from the site. Building geometry conforms to requirements of
AS4055.
Verbally interviewed

The determination of the design just wind speed and wind classification should take
into account building height, the train category, topographic classification and should
classification as given in AS 1170.2 or AS 4055.

Some regulatory authorities provide wind classification maps or when classifications


for designated sites within the jurisdiction i.e. some councils principalities produce
wind classification maps.
In Victoria there are generally two wind classifications; these are:
• N1
• N2
The method for calculating the amount, type and arrangement of bracing in housing
and structures usually follows the same lines in that the areas wind classification and
subsequent bracing requirements are calculated by taking into account aspects of the
building and its situation such as:

• The level which is set by the BCA


• Direction
• Height
• Terrain
• Topography
• Shielding.

1.13 What is the first step that needs to be taken before starting to lay the footings?
Verbally interviewed

Before starting to lay the footings, It has to check the levels and rectific about the vertex geodesic

and topography with the plans, and check the section it. Must follow the rules of the designs as

structural, geology and building plans.

You are required to demolish an existing structure in order to build a new home. The existing strip
footings are found to be 2m deep and removing them will disturb the ground below the design level
of the new footings.

1.15 What are the options available to achieve compliance with building regulations and retain the
integrity of the new building?
Verbally interviewed

When undertaking maintenance activities, departments should investigate/consider

requirements to upgrade existing components of a building to meet the latest standards

(e.g.upgrading components to meet the latest energy efficiency standards of the BCA; upgrading

to meet the latest building accessibility requirements).

Further, not all maintenance can be carried out without regard to applicable codes.

Departments should check whether self assessment is required before carrying out

maintenance activities. The Building Regulation refers to building work that includes
'repairs, maintenance or alterations' that:

• do not affect a structural component of the building

• do not affect the building's fire safety system

• do not change the building or structure's floor area or height

• only affect a minor structural component of the building, and do not affect more than

20% of structural components of the same type


• only affect a minor component of the building's fire safety system, and do not affect

more than 20% of the system's components of the same type.

1.16 Briefly explain how service pipes can be laid in concrete slabs/floor system for the following
conditions.
Verbally interviewed

Conditions Methods
In recess through the slab
Where a pipe junction occurs beneath a slab, the angle at the
junction must be no more than 45°.
Drains must be laid to allow easy access for maintenance and
clearing blockages, with access points provided immediately
outside the building.
If two or more soil fixtures are connected to a branch drain
beneath a slab, an access point must be provided downstream
of the highest fixture connection. Where the access point is
within the building, it may be a sealed, floorlevel rodding point.
This must comply with the isolation and ventilation
requirements for the spaces in which the soil fixtures are
located.

Running directly through


the slab
Drainage pipes passing through a foundation wall must be
sleeved with a minimum 25 mm clearance and filled with a
flexible material so they can move independently of the slab
or beam.
The pipe should be located in the middle third of the beam
both horizontally and vertically.

Running under the slab


The pipe must be on a minimum 100 mm compacted base
bedding of sand or other granular material with a maximum
particle size of 20 mm. Compacted side and cover bedding
is needed. The cover bedding depth varies according to the
depth of the trench.
