Bunnings Warehouse - Long Span Structures

With an objective to find a existing long-span commercial building, I decided to look at Bunnings Warehouse located at 10 School Road, Corio. I select Bunning Warehouse as I thought it would demonstrate the main features of a long-span commercial building with the use of steel.


From this photo you are able to observe the use of the steel portal fame and its connection to the central column


From this photo you are able to see how far the long-span spans


From this photo you are able to see the relationship between the long span steel and the roof.
