Introduction
Steel is a versatile material that is widely used in the building and construction sector, as well as
other industries. Steel structures are constructed using steel as the main raw material and these
buildings excel in terms of ease of construction, long life span, low costs, and energy savings. Metal
structures have high durability and the versatility of steel makes it a premium and first choice
material in construction. In this paper, the Tyremax low rise warehouse building is the focus of the
study; the building is located on Baile Road, in Canningvale, Perth. This project entails an
evaluation of the Tyremax building, a low rise warehouse building with two floors/ storeys to house
offices, and largely a single free standing warehouse. The evaluation involves a discussion of the
structural system typical members and their roles, the loads on the structure, and a computation of
common buildings’ members strengths of some of the buildings’ common members. The paper also
discusses the connection details of structural members along with the constructibility aspects of the
building using steel. The assignment involves making a visit to the building site with some photos
taken (see Illustrations 1 to 10) and design images as well.
Progress Report
The warehouse building with offices was visited and some photos taken to show the structural
components of the building.
