Detailed Structural Analysis of Brock Commons Tallwood House Project

This report provides a comprehensive structural analysis of the Brock Commons Tallwood House, examining its innovative design and construction. The analysis covers various aspects, including the building's hybrid structural system comprising concrete foundations and a superstructure of cross-laminated timber (CLT) floor panels supported by glue-laminated timber (GLT) and parallel strand lumber (PSL) columns. The report details the different loads acting on the structure, such as dead loads, live loads, and wind loads, and presents load calculations for various storeys. It also explores material properties, including the behavior of timber, concrete, and steel under different conditions. Furthermore, the report discusses the building's durability, fire protection measures, and the application of geotechnical studies to ensure the building's stability, and covers aspects such as footing systems, deflection considerations, and the use of shear walls. The report concludes by highlighting the importance of connections, formwork, and seismic design considerations for the building's overall performance and compliance with relevant building codes and standards, such as C1 AS1170.0.
