New Laboratories: Historical and Critical Perspectives on Contemporary Developments

New laboratory structures are at present being deliberate everywhere in the global. Are they diversified from or maybe greater than their predecessors? to respond to this question, the authors of this publication have journeyed into the prior and current of laboratory structure and located a notable number of methods with reference to either the sensible relation of areas and the symbolic worth of the facade.

It is also possible to mix modules, for example a 3000 mm room width can be achieved using 1200 mm and 1800 mm modules. Spans under 2000 mm can be accommodated using CAM-action tunnels, which are full tunnels. Wider tunnels can be formed with the use of a table form between the two half tunnels, but this slows down the process because an extra lift is required. 25 m increments. 50 m can be accommodated with the tunnel forms, although this should be consistent from floor to floor. Small variations in wall height can be incorporated by using higher kickers with the same forms.

The final wall thickness can range typically from 200 to 350 mm in total width, although thicker walls are possible. It is worth noting that, due to the manufacturing process, tolerances on the inside faces of the precast skin are not well controlled and can reduce the space available for in-situ concrete or starter bars by 10 to 15 mm each side. Generally the walls are sized to be as narrow as possible to increase the net floor area. There may be occasions, such as in tall buildings where there are high compressive loads, or adjacent to long floor spans where there are high bending moments due to the notional eccentricity of the wall, when a thicker wall is required.

The tunnel form system incorporates stripping platforms, void platforms and gable-end (end-wall) platforms with integrated edge protection. These platforms also allow for circulation around the tunnel form and the structure. Tunnel form is a particular formwork system specifically designed to maximise the speed of construction for cellular-type structures built with in-situ concrete. More typical formwork systems, such as vertical panel systems, horizontal panel systems and table forms can also be used for this type of structure.
