The major differences from other buildings lie in the impact of increased height on design and construction processes, with structural systems, services and safety being the most significant. The topics covered include:• demolition; • temporary services; • deep excavations and foundations; • retention and shoring systems; • general engineering of structural components; • multilevel formwork systems; • selection of construction methods and equipment;• interaction of building components, systems and services; • common building faults and failures and rectification; • external cladding systems; • general cost planning relevant for high rise construction. This unit builds upon the principles and theory learnt in Commercial Construction, Designing Structures, and Building Services.","title-full":"UXH310 High-rise Construction","title-short":"High-rise Construction","url":{"current":"https://qutvirtual4.qut.edu.au/group/student/enrolment/units/unit?unitCode=UXH310&year=2024","prospective":"https://www.qut.edu.au/study/unit?unitCode=UXH310","timetable":"https://qutvirtual3.qut.edu.au/qvpublic/ttab_unit_search_p.process_teach_period_search?p_unit_cd=UXH310"},"year":2024,"years":[2024]}
