In this report, it will analyses the building structure and envelope of an advanced engineering building at UQ. The report will put the emphasis on some aspects which include the construction documentation, building configuration building element design and building loading and load transfer to the foundation. From another perspective, the report will also illustrate the project’s sites structure which includes site conditions, material used, interfaces with pre-existing structure/infrastructure

* Preliminary works shall be inclusive of identification and relocation of services and utilities * Prior to commencement of work, concrete mixed or grout mix design and material shall be submitted for approval. * Reinforcement shall be stored on a firm ground and stacked in such manner as to allow easy identification and lifting. * Platform shall be leveled and

2. Conventional cement The function of cement is for isolating production zone and to provide support for the casing [11].Portland cement is made up of calcium oxide (CaO), silicon dioxide (SiO) and water (H2O) which the composition of calcium carbonate is around 75-80 wt% and 20-25 wt% of clay [7],[14].. Compressive strength of Portland cement is developed through hydration. Hydration is chemical reaction between water and cement compound. The rheology and early strength of cement is developed

P1 Understand common forms of low rise construction used for domestic and commercial properties Steel frame: Steel frame structures are made as the name suggest from steel, the material is strong and flexible. When weight is added it bends without cracking. Another characteristic of steel is that its plasticity or ductility, meaning that when force is added it won’t crack however it will lose shape therefore giving warning for people to evacuate the building. A disadvantage of steel is that is

1. Introduction Ultra high performance concrete (UHPC) represents a major progress step over normal strength concrete (NSC) and high strength concrete (HSC), through the achievement of very high strength and very low permeability. Basically, the UHPC is a concrete with compressive strength ranging 120 to 400 MPa, this “ultra” high strength is achieved through different techniques including the use of improved materials, ultra-fine pozzolans (e.g. silica fume), low water-cement ratio, improved quality

The fluctuating thermal administration, particularly when de-icing salts are applied on the surface, may prompt scaling at the surface of pavements. By improving the concrete composition for example, by utilizing air-entering agent, higher cement content, lower water-cement ratios the effect of de-icing salt can be diminished. A noteworthy and supported decline in the recurrence of extremely cool days could lessen the

Model to Predict Compressive Strength of Concrete Composites 4.1 Introduction Compressive strength is defined as the measured maximum resistance of a concrete to axial loading. Compressive strength of concrete is one of the main structural requirement to ensure that the structure will be able to carry the designed load. Compressive strength is also used as a measure of quality, such as durability and resistance to weathering. The properties of the concrete develop as a result of hydration: the exothermic
