Design Philosophy
1. Overview The existing building is a Victorian dwelling house. It is of masonry construction with timber framed floors and roof. The property features an existing rear extension which may be original to the property and which is to be demolished and replaced with a new extension. The new extension is to be timber framed above ground floor level in order to minimise the wall thickness whereas the basement will be of solid construction. The ground floor slab is to be cast in-situ to cantiliver out and provide a new external garden access. The basement walls are to be retaining and constructed using hollow concrete blocks (Stepoc or similar) which are to be reinforced and infilled with structural concrete. A new basement raft is to be cast to support the new extension and to form the floor of the llightwell which is to be made deeper than existing. There will be a need to underpin the section of the existing boundary/retaining wall, and further details are to be confirmed upon further investigation. Please see drawings for further information. 2. Loading and the Structural Model The structure is subject to dead, imposed and wind loading. All loading is listed and also graphically shown in the analysis. All steel sizing was done in accordance with BS5950, all concrete sizing to BS8110. The relevant load combination for sizing was 1.4*Dead+1.6*Imposed load. The deflections were checked for unfactored combinations of loading. The typical loading data is listed below: Flat and Pitched Roofs: DL, 1.00 kN/m2 LL, 0.75 kN/m2 Floors: DL, 0.9 kN/m2 (incl. of sound insulation) LL, 1.5 kN/m2 - residential Stud partition: DL, 0.40 kN/m2 (of the actual partition) DL, 1.10 kN/m2 - for externally clad walls.

Design Philosophy

3. Preliminary risk assessment The contractor must provide a method statement and submit it to all relevant authorities and the designer for checking. The method statement must provide a full risk assessment, indicating all hazards and provide adequate measures to ensure a safe construction environment. In addition to standard H&S measures associated with steel, concrete, excavation and other types of work, care must be taken to ensure all risks associated with a renovation project like this must also be considered. These include: - Working in a confined environment, and safe delivery and installation of steelwork to minimise disruption to the existing house. -Temporary propping of the existing walls and other structural elements must be done to a high standard to ensure the stability of the structure at all stages of the construction. The contractor must provide temporary works design and submit it to the engineer for approval. -To minimise the disruption to the neighbourhood all refuse must be delicately handled. The noise pollution must be kept to a minimum at all times, and particularly if the construction is carried out outside of the normal working hours and at weekends.
