One for the timber engineers. This one had us thinking for a bit. Single storey rear extension with a cantilevered roof at each corner of the new extension (shown left image). Glazing is to wrap around the rear facade with the two timber posts providing support to the beams framing the rear roof line. A split level roof looks worse than it is. The added complication is the timber glulam frame running across the property (shown right image), which needs to act as a stability frame. Depending on which way you decide to frame this, you're either going to end up with large tensile forces acting on the two rear timber posts, or. A double moment connection (one moment acting in each plane across the columns forming the stability frame). Either way, the detailing dictates whichever way you go with this. Figured some other engineers might enjoy playing about with this one too. . . . #refurbishment #design #london #structures #structuralengineering #construction #building #structuraldesign #structure

Masonry? Nope, its an Architectural Insulated Precast Wall Panel with cast-in thin brick, split faced CMU form liner finish, and a projecting window sill all cast integral with the panel. Architectural Precast saves time and money over traditional masonry construction without sacrificing the timeless Masonry look. The precast mockup panel gives the architect and owner a taste of what their building is going to look like. Pictures of the final building to come.

#Construction using #blocks, such as #concrete masonry units (CMUs) or clay bricks, involves stacking these modular units in a systematic pattern to create #walls, #foundations, or other structural elements. This method provides several advantages, including durability, fire resistance, sound insulation, and thermal mass, which enhances energy efficiency. Block construction is commonly used in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings due to its versatility and strength. The process typically involves laying blocks in a staggered or running bond pattern with mortar applied between each unit to ensure stability and cohesion. Proper alignment and leveling are crucial during construction to maintain #structural integrity and achieve a neat finish. Block construction can be adapted for both #load-bearing and non-load-bearing walls, making it a flexible solution for a variety of architectural designs.

Considering #midrise wood construction for your #commercial or #multifamily project? Join me and Warren Hamrick (APA – The Engineered Wood Association) in #Raleigh for a seminar covering: 🏢 Allowable construction types, emphasizing the opportunities and advantages of using #lightframe #wood in Types III and V. 💡 Design considerations associated with these projects, including how to maximize height and area through the use of sprinklers, open frontage, sloping sites, podiums, and mezzanines. 🏗 Common framing methods and how to ensure that projects are designed to be structurally sound, constructable, and code-compliant. You can earn 2.0 AIA/CES LUs, 2.0 PDH credits or 0.2 ICC credits - and lunch is on us! 🍎 Frame it Right: Optimizing Size & Framing Efficiency in Mid-Rise Buildings 📆 June 27 @ 10:00 am - 1:00 pm EDT 📍 Raleigh, NC Register:

You can now catch up on our latest #webinar, where we look at the #design of several types of #CavityWallPanels within #MasterSeries #Masonry Design Module, for a typical #domestic #semidetached style property. The introduction covers a very brief introduction to the #YieldLine Theory, as an analysis method for the design of efficient masonry #wallpanels, covering how the traditional method of flexural strength design to #BritishStandards and #Eurocode 6 actually derives from the #YieldLineTheory. We then proceed to go through the setup and designs of 11 different #wall panels, taking into consideration various factors such as #Loading: - Vertical #UDLs (from floors / roofs and wall panels) - Vertical #PointLoads (from #steelbeams) - Horizontal In-Plane Loads (#racking) - Horizontal Out-of-Plane Loads (#wind) - Dealing with Multiple Openings - Introducing Wall Reinforcement (#StiffenedPiers and #WindPosts) - Various #Free / #Continuous / #Pinned #FixityConditions including #DampProofMembranes #DPM #DPC 📥 Download our FREE 14-day MasterSeries trial using the following link 📥 https://lnkd.in/e5sgRTG ⏰ Timecodes ⏰ 00:00 Overall Introduction and Agenda 01:20 Background of Yield Line Analysis within the Masonry Design Module 04:33 Introduction to Example: Semi-Detached Property 05:00 Front Wall Panels 1 - 4 10:00 Wall Panel 5 - Comparison Between Yield Line Analysis and Traditional Methods 10:55 Wall Panel 7 & 8 12:03 Wall Panel 9 - Panel with 2 openings and a Point Load from a Beam and behaviour of Yield Line Analysis using Wind Posts vs Stiffened Piers 19:06 Rear Wall Panels 10 & 11 Including Resisting In-Plane Shear Forces and Moments from Adjacent Walls 23:55 Outro https://lnkd.in/eSxWfBBC

𝗟𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘄𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗹 One of the key benefits of Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) is its exceptional structural strength and flexibility. CLT panels provide comparable strength to concrete and steel, allowing for innovative and resilient architectural designs. Want to Learn more? Contact Us.

The structure is the only part of the building that cannot be replaced in the future. The durability of the building only depends on the structure of any building. So when you are planning to build a dream house with a House plan and 3D Elevation design everyone has to keep in mind that the design of the structure is also important.

We have developed a range of bespoke cladding solutions with our project partners Errigal that use offsite/MMC principles to reduce work on site and facilitate installation for this major regeneration scheme in London. Spanwall Facades have now manufactured around 6,500sqm metal rainscreen panels for the Elephant and Castle Town Centre project for 3 towers up to 30 storeys high. The cladding package for each tower has 4 elements: - 72 full assemblies for the plant rooms, fully fabricated in the Spanwall Facades factory and craned into position (pictured).   - Cladding panels pre-assembled in Errigal's factory for the 'sky terraces'.   -  1,680 individual metal panels for the 'Crown' at the top of each tower. - 1,500+ rainscreen panels for the balconies.
