Site Visit #5

This is a rather large residential building I visited in East Brighton, just off Dendy St.

Here we can see the general timber studs with panel bracing for this two-storey masonry veneer building.

Worker's protective balustrading for construction safety purposes.

Internal studs and associated panel bracing with 'pryda' floor joists/trusses.

Detail of pryda floor joists.

Detail of galvanised UB and square hollow section and pryda joists above with steel lintel welded to underside of UB to support the masonry above.

Gangnail trusses.

Roof insulation and angle bracing over rafters/trusses.

Gang nail trusses in actual location.

Rainwater sump below box gutter with chipboard ponding board.

Reinforced core-filled masonry retaining wall.
