Concrete Beton Journal 3 No. 129 • November 2011 FULTON AWARDS WINNER 15 Alice Lane Towers The impressive 15 Alice Lane Towers, Sandton, project won the 2011 Fulton Awards for ‘Innovative Technologies’ and was awarded a com- mendation in the ‘Unique Design Aspects’ category. The 24 000m² iconic land- mark building stands 90m high and is comprised of six levels of basement parking and 17-storey offi ce space, with two sculpted towers linked by a vertical atrium. he iconic property has created an exceptional addition to the Tever-changing Sandton skyline precinct. 15 Alice Lane Towers was de- veloped by Zenprop Property Holdings together with Tiber Property Group. The construction of this landmark building with the curved asymmetric shape of the towers proved a formidable chal- lenge for the professional team and the contractors. Commissioned and built during a global economic recession this building is a statement of faith in the future of Johannesburg and a measure of what can be achieved when well-integrated teams face challenges. In various ways, this project has benefi tted from innova- tive technologies applied to a project by a highly skilled team. Concrete technol- ogy played a large part in bringing its various benefi ts directly to bear on the correct elements in this project. The right benefi t from the use of concrete has been applied to the appropriate parts of the whole. It is in this context that the project represents excellence in the use of concrete. The Team From a construction procedure and planning point of view, the site was Client: Tiber Property Group & Zenprop Property Holdings highly restricted due to the fall of the Principal Agent 1: Capital Expenditure Projects (CAPEX) land, the necessity to keep access and Principal Agent 2: Paragon Architects visibility for the ABSA Capital offi ces and the high-value residential towers next Subcontractor: Tiber Bonvec Construction door. Much of the materials handling Submitted by: Sotiralis Consulting Engineers had to be accomplished on part of the basement construction site, and this Concrete Beton Journal 4 No. 129 • November 2011 INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES made logistics and management com- plicated. The basement façade itself, for example, is defi ned by a coequal board-like pattern of differently sized precast concrete panels, selected for the ability to produce and fi nish them off-site and bring them to the site quickly and install them with minimal handling and storage. In this way, con- crete construction allowed interesting advantages to be added into an already diffi cult construction process. The externally visible architectural form or silhouette of the building is that of two towers whose north and south faces are defi ned by irregular curves, resulting in a canyon-like atrium space between the two towers. This atrium space is about 6m wide at its narrow- est, lowest point, and 11m wide at its widest point. The dramatic vertical space that results is enlivened by a series of precast concrete link bridges that have a fan-shaped arrangement advantages of rapid installation and associated time, handling and safety in plan and spiral upwards in this reductions in scaffold costs and other risks. Also, services such as lighting tight space.

    7.5. Identified Sites of Significance Residential Buildings Within Rosettenville (Semi-Detached, Freestanding)

    7.5. Identified sites of significance_Residential buildings within Rosettenville (Semi-detached, freestanding) Introduction Residential buildings are buildings that are generally used for residential purposes or have been zoned for residential usage. It must be noted the majority of residences are over 60 years, it was therefore imperative for detailed visual study to be done where the most significant buildings were mapped out. Their significance could be as a result of them being associated to prominent figures, association with special events, design patterns of a certain period in history, rarity or part of an important architectural school. Most of the sites identified in this category are of importance in their local contexts and are representative of the historical and cultural patterns that could be discerned from the built environment. All the identified sites were given a 3A category explained below. Grading 3A_Sites that have a highly significant association with a historic person, social grouping, historic events, public memories, historical activities, and historical landmarks (should by all means be conserved) 3B_ Buildings of marginally lesser significance (possibility of senstive alteration and addition to the interior) 3C_Buildings and or sites whose significance is in large part significance that contributes to the character of significance of the environs (possibility for alteration and addition to the exterior) Summary Table of identified sites in the residential category: Site/ Description Provisional Heritage Implications

  • Assessment of Concrete Structures After Fire

    Assessment of Concrete Structures After Fire

    Assessment of concrete structures after fire Joakim Albrektsson, Mathias Flansbjer, Jan Erik Lindqvist and Robert Jansson SP Technical Research Institute of Sweden Brandforsk project number: 301-091 Fire Technology SP Report 2011:19 Assessment of concrete structures after fire Joakim Albrektsson, Mathias Flansbjer, Jan Erik Lindqvist and Robert Jansson 3 Abstract After a fire incident the first question from a structural point of view is whether the construction can be refurbished or, in extreme cases, needs to be replaced. The choice of action must be based on an assessment of the status of the structure. This assessment is in turn based on a mapping of damage to the construction. The mapping of damage needs to be accurate to optimise both the safety level and the best solution from an economic point of view. The work presented in this report is divided into a literature study of commonly used traditional methods to conduct such a “mapping of damage” and an experimental part where several traditional methods are compared to a new methodology which has been developed for such applications in this project. The traditional assessment methods included in the experimental part of the report are: rebound hammer, ultrasonic pulse measurements and microscopy methods. These are compared to optical full-field strain measurements during a compressive load cycle on drilled cores, i.e. the new method proposed to determine the degree of damage in a fire exposed cross-section. Based on the results from the present study an approach with two levels of complexity is recommended. The initial level is to perform an inspection and determine the development, size and spread pattern of the fire (if possible).

Both industry standards and the culture which they have created have had lasting impacts on the industry with respect to innovation and potentially more sustainable concrete construction. Industry standards and project specifications have institutionalized concrete optimized for high early strength and rapid construction rather than durability.

Professor, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of Auckland, Private Bag 92019, Auckland, New Zealand, [email protected] Abstract Seismic retrofitting of unreinforced masonry buildings using posttensioning has been the topic of many recent experimental research projects. However, the performance of such retrofit designs in actual design level earthquakes has previously been poorly documented. In 1984 two stone masonry buildings within The Arts Centre of Christchurch received posttensioned seismic retrofits, which were subsequently subjected to design level seismic loads during the 2010/2011 Canterbury earthquake sequence. These 26 year old retrofits were part of a global scheme to strengthen and secure the historic building complex and were subject to considerable budgetary constraints. Given the limited resources available at the time of construction and the current degraded state of the steel posttension tendons, the posttensioned retrofits performed well in preventing major damage to the overall structure of the two buildings in the Canterbury earthquakes.
