Resources required
- Learning Outcomes
- 1. Identify requirements and components for constructing decks, stairs and ramps.
2. Know how to install posts, beams and portal frames, and methods of joining steel, and identify methods of joining steel.
3. Identify non load- bearing framing, the purpose of supplementary framing, and repair and maintenance framing work.
4. Understand the impact of subterranean conditions, and principles of energy efficiency and sound transmission. - Content
Framed Floors (LO1):
Can be constructed from timber, or formed light gauge steel channel
Columns, posts, beams and portals (LO2):
Reinforcing and concrete is covered under the concrete floors skill set in the support structure specification.
Joining steel includes welding, and connectors
Non load-bearing framing (LO3):
Interior partitioning (non load-bearing constructed from timber or steel stud) does not on its own meet the requirements for this wall framing skill set
Requirements of non-load-bearing framing
Purpose of supplementary framing,
Discuss repair and maintenance framing work.
Building Science (LO4):
Sub-strata, soil composition and compaction, proximity of water table, potential for earthquake and geothermal activity
Energy efficiency principles include design, building placement, heat transfer, thermal mass and insulation
The level of building science knowledge required is that of an industry practitioner rather than that of an engineer, designer or scientist- Assessment Criteria
- The portfolio is comprised of multiple components. Students need to pass all components of the portfolio and provide sufficient evidence against all learning outcomes in order to pass this module.
