I need help with this long question especially with the diagram part:
You are the Construction Manager of a large building company which has just won the tender to build two structures in the new Disneyland in Perth.
The two reinforced in-situ concrete structures are: 1. A 60m high viewing tower; and 2. An exhibition hall.
You have been asked by your planning department to let them know how you propose to construct the formwork for each structure so they can schedule the activities on their programme of works. The director of the company is concerned that such structures will be very costly because of the unique nature of the formwork. You must convince him that you have assessed the methods and found the most appropriate and cost effective solution.
In order to provide the information you will need to answer the following for EACH structure:
a). What is the most appropriate type of formwork (i.e. timber or steel) and why?
b). How will the formwork be supported?
c). What is the sequence of operations to erect the formwork?
d). How is the design of the formwork cost effective?
e). Draw a diagram to illustrate your solutions.
