Description
This subject examines construction technology for industrial buildings. Terminology and construction/design details for typical construction solutions for typical industrial buildings such as warehouses and factories are examined in detail. The subject commences with an examination of site sub-strata conditions and soil types and the use of geotechnical analyses to identify specific site conditions. The subject further explores the main structural principles that construction managers should be familiar with for this type of construction. This includes applied structural principles for steel framed construction. Building services technology (hydraulics, electrical and fire protection systems) are also covered. Students develop an understanding of relevant building regulations/codes and compliance issues. The subject incorporates investigation of alternative construction techniques and materials handling issues.
