Site Logistic

Current Problem

Only one site plan developed Relatively congested site and narrow access road

Proposed Solution

Three phase site plans Clearly show the location of the equipments and access during different phases Create one way traffic flow

Study of the facade

Problem Long installation time Reason for delay

Proposed Methods

Combining Precast and window supplier But…..some windows are 10 feet high and 800 pounds, difficult for handling and shipping

Possibility of Using other Horizontal Formwork

Three options

Compare the cost and schedule for all the options

Each floor of the New West Building: 19,200 SF Each floor of the GOF building: 12,000 SF

PERI skydeck with customized design Original structural design PERI skydeck New structural design Scaffolds and plywood Original structural design Construction methods Structural changes

Tracy Lo Construction Management Senior Thesis Presentation April 16, 2003

Original structural design using scaffolds and plywood (Option 1) Two way slab with drop panels Original slab thickness: 8 in Drop panels: 8 in Plywood and aluma frames Cost: $0.83 – $0.91 / sf

Total cost of formwork and labor: $961,634

(option 3)

  • Cost of the formwork: $1.39-$1.50 / sf
  • Total cost of formwork and labor: $1,128,574

Analysis 4: Redesign the Foundation Systems

Problem Spread Footings Constructability issues:

Difficult to construct the spread footings for this project due to the footings having different elevations adjacent to each other OSHA standard - sloping back around the excavation was necessary

Proposed System Mat slab foundation

Tracy Lo Construction Management Senior Thesis Presentation April 16, 2003

Analysis 4: Redesign the Foundation Systems

Spread Footings Disadvantages: More concrete is used for the GOF Difficult excavation due to different elevations of the footings Slow productivity during excavation, takes longer to excavate Advantages: Less concrete is used for the West Building Less material (rebar, formwork) Allow to set rebar along the footings while formwork is being placed

slide-26
SLIDE 26

Tracy Lo Construction Management Senior Thesis Presentation April 16, 2003

Analysis 4: Redesign the Foundation Systems

Mat Slab Disadvantages: Need to set rebar on site because of the amount of rebar Large amount of concrete and rebar One continuous pour, longer hours for workers Heavy traffic due to 30-40 trucks per hour move through the site Advantages:

  • Better constructability
  • Reduce duration by 10

days

  • Comparable cost as spread

footings

Research Topic: Mold Issues

Why are people looking into mold related problem in the construction industry? Litigation Sickness related to mold What is mold? What causes mold? A non-specific term of a type of fungus Air borne Moisture, food source,

  • xygen and warm

temperature

slide-29
SLIDE 29

Tracy Lo Construction Management Senior Thesis Presentation April 16, 2003

Research Topic: Mold Issues

Is Mold toxic? Mold itself is not toxic By products – mycotoxins will cause serious health problem Sickness Related to Mold No medical evidence on mold in buildings lead to sickness Allergic reactions Studies of Court Cases Property damage claims and personal injury claims Pay millions of dollars

slide-30
SLIDE 30

Tracy Lo Construction Management Senior Thesis Presentation April 16, 2003

Research Topic: Mold Issues

Lack of standards No standards related to the level of mold exposure that is harmful to human No inspection standards What to do if mold if found? Follow guidelines established by the EPA or AGC

slide-31
SLIDE 31

Tracy Lo Construction Management Senior Thesis Presentation April 16, 2003

Research Topic: Mold Issues

What needs to be done related to this problem?

Need more development on medical field Set up regulations and standards

Tracy Lo Construction Management Senior Thesis Presentation April 16, 2003

Conclusion

Site Logistic

Important to create one way traffic within the site More detailed site plans provide better understanding

Studies of Historical Renovation

Good concept to combine the window and precast panels suppliers But difficult to implement due to the special condition

slide-33
SLIDE 33

Tracy Lo Construction Management Senior Thesis Presentation April 16, 2003

Conclusion

Possibilities of Using other Horizontal Formwork

Prefabricated formwork for slab would be the best choice in terms of time and cost More changes of other structural components to increase the plenum space was necessary

Resign the Foundation System

Mat slab foundation will shorten the schedule by 10 days Large amount of material and intensive work

Research: Mold Issues in construction industry

More government involvement is needed to set up the standards
