4Structural design of undocumented vertical extension

East façade

No structural drawings or design information was available for review for steel shed in southeast corner of building. The latest permit drawing does not show a steel structure at roof level, although a similar structure was indicated on an earlier drawing from 2003.

South façade

Steel shed at roof level

5Structural design of undocumented vertical extension

Approx. 200-300mm deep

Portal frame rafters and stanchions appear to be shallow given the span of the frame and the building's exposure to 210kph wind loading, as per Contactor’s report.

Unstiffened connections with no haunches provided at eaves. Capacity of stanchion/rafter moment connection appears to be inadequate.

d = 200mm

b = 100mm

6Structural design of undocumented vertical extension

No vertical cross bracing provided

No vertical bracing is provided in side walls of shed to coincide with roof cross bracing.

Steel cables (ties) are connected to wall above stair core. Connection details between purlins (acting as struts) and wall unclear.

8Non-engineered outbuildings

Neither of the canteen sheds have an engineered stability system in the longitudinal direction; no roof or vertical bracing apparent. West canteen shed appears to have relatively shallow sections for portal frame rafter/stanchion.Lightweight roofs with overhanging sections susceptible to wind uplift.
