Tut 1 - TYPICAL TIMBER FRAMED HOUSE DETAIL

Bunnings Warehouse Waurn Ponds, 237 Colac Rd, VIC 6185, Waurn Ponds. Architect: COEUR Architects Pty Ltd

I chose Bunnings Warehouse in Waurn Ponds as an example of a long
span structure. It is a building which i believe to be an example of
excellence in construction technology in steel.

This internal view of the structure shows the size

of the beams spanning the lenght of the roof.

This view indicates the bolting configuration used

to fix the column and rafter.

We can see the rafter widen as it nears the centre

indicating it needs to support a larger load.

A closer view of the fixing.

Here we can see the knee joint, a restrained joint between

the rafter and column. This joint is useful in carrying the

transferred load from bending moments.
