CONCRETE TILT UP AND PRECAST CONSTRUCTION PHOTOS

In this photo the slab has been poured and the column reinforcement starter bars are in place ready for the steel formwork to be erected. Trenches have been dug out for plumbing allowances and strip footing has been laid for more construction.

Tilt-up panels are erected and are held up by props until the roof is constructed.

The roof is constructed along with its rafters, purlins and roof material. Safety hand railing is used around the perimeter of the roof for health and safety procedures.

PORTAL FRAME CONSTRUCTION

Bunnings store

This photo was taken inside the store, it shows rafters supporting 'z' purlins. The z purlins are holding up the roof, sarking and safety mesh.

Here is the rafter joint, it is where the two rafters meet in the centre of the roof. The two end plates are bolted together and a column supports this joint.

This is a closer detail of a knee joint, where the column supports the rafter with a welded joint between the end plate of the rafter and the side of the column. A haunch is connected with a welded joint between the column and the rafter to help shear forces
