Site Visit Three (20/05/07) -North East Wall

Here you can see 'C' purlins running along the face of the building, with bracing running perpendicular to it. You can also faintly see safety mesh running over the purlins. The large overhang is most probably there to provide shade, but also could be purely aesthetic.


Here you can see the diagonal cross bracing running at 45 degrees from one column to another, to provide resistance against lateral forces. Also the insulation is visible on the underside of the roof.
