CODE AND REGULATION

LOCATION OF EXITS & DISTANCE BETWEEN EXITS

MEANS OF EGRESS:All above grade floors are served by two exit stairs at the end of the building. So it is in compliance with 3.3.1.5.

It is in compliance with 3.4.2.3(1). The distance between the two exits should be one-half the maximum diagonal dimension of the floor area and not less than 9 m.

Location of exit is in compliance with 3.4.2.5.(1)(c) .

CODE AND REGULATION

TRAVEL DISTANCE

Travel Distance to an Egress doorway is less than 45 meters and is in compliance with code 3.4.2.5(c).The floor area is more in than the area given in the table 3.3.1.5.B , So it has two doorways.

In compliance with 3.4.5.1(1), exit signs are provided with every exit door.In compliance with 3.4.5.2(1) exit signs within exist stairs indicates the continuity of exit facility to the street level exit.

EXIT SIGNS

As per 3.2.9.1 (b), a standpipe system is installed in each floor of the building.

BUILDING ENVELOPE

The Chang building is an interesting mix of both historical restoration and contemporary construction. This seven storey building designed by Rounthwaite Dick & Hadley Architects associated with Lett Architects in 2005 measures 42,000 sq. ft in area. The four distinct materials used on the facade are

• limestone • copper sheets • glass • aluminum

Where black aluminum spine wall separates the copper and glass elements of the building.

MA TERIAL AND METHODS

WALL SYSTEM

Stick system

Unitized system

COPPER CLADDING

ALUMINUM PANEL

Exterior wall and Fenestrations

The curtain wall system used here are both Stick system and Unitized system. In stick system the curtain wall frames and glass are installed and connected together piece by piece. Where as in the Unitized, the wall is composed of large units that are assembled and glazed in the factory and erected on site.Aluminum panels used has a very high Thermal Conductivity. Thermal performance of opaque areas of the curtain wall is a function of insulation and air vapor barrier. Water penetration resistance is a function of glazing frame construction apart from being giving a glazing appearance.Copper cladding another important material used for this building apart from aluminum and glass. This material is strong, light weight, malleable, highly corrosive resistant. Apart from being durable and long lasting it is completely recyclable without losing its physical attributes.


COPPER CLADDING AND GLAZINGDETAIL

WALL AND FLOOR SECTIONDETAIL


FLOOR SYSTEM INTERIOR WALL

General interior wall system used is concrete blocks and gypsum board. The flooring in all floors are carpeted except in ground floor where tiles and in the basement vinyl is used. In work zone areas, the box effect is avoided by drop ceilings, where mechanical services, which are hidden by the ceiling, are painted black.

ISOLATED FOOTING DETAIL

The foundation wall system of the below grade building enclosure is designed and constructed to support both vertical and lateral loadings.

The first line of control is the upper screen at the exterior surface. Here the upper screen consists pavers and concrete or asphalt surface that shed the majority of surface moisture.

Framing system in a building comprises of columns, beams and shear walls that support the structure.This building is with a frame assembly of steel beams and steel columns. Where steel beams are designed to act compositely with the concrete on the steel deck floor.The shear wall, reinforced concrete framed structure encases the shafts of elevator and stairwell providing the required stability.

Uses of Bim

“It is the process of designing a building collaboratively using one coherent system of computer models rather than as separate sets of drawings”

BUILDING INFORMATION MODELING (REVIT)

COLLABORATION

WORKSHARING

“to work on a project in a workshared environment”

is a method of collaboration that allows multiple team members to work on the same project model simultaneously.

WORK SETSIt is the collection of elements in a workshared environment.

In this report we explored on how View Templates can really aid our productivity rate when using Revit. There is a huge variety of parameters that control the look and “style” of the views that we created within Revit.

View Templates Phasing

Within Revit, Phases are distinct, separate time periods (or “milestones”) within the life of the project. They can represent either the time periods themselves or the status of the project at specified points in time.
