Detailed report on construction of a six storey residential building in
Thessaloniki
1.0 Summary
Construction planning is a prerequisite to ensure the timely completion of project, within budget
and adherence to quality, safety and environmental parameters. It is important in multi storey
uilding construction owing to repetitiveness in the type of work and amount of resources
needed. While planning some of the basic considerations are statutory and contractual
obligations, social obligations and site characteristics. Statutory Obligations include compliance
with building regulations, site supervision, safety regulations etc. Contractual obligation refers to
commitment between the contractor and client to deliver services in accordance to terms and
conditions mentioned in the contract. Social obligations include taking care of the workers on the
site etc. Site obligations refer to geographical location, nature of works, construction time, skill-
set etc. Here we are focusing on some of the important aspects of a construction project.
2.0 Introduction:
In this report we are discussing the vital aspects of a six storied building construction in Greece.
We are adopting a steel framed structure for construction. The different construction activities
involved with the project has been discussed. The role of planning supervisor has been
mentioned as well as a safety plan has been carved out in compliance with CDM regulations.
2.1 Task 1: The Project
The project involves construction of a six storey building in Thessaloniki, Greece, a place
subjected to very high temperatures during summers and prone to earthquakes as well. Here we
are adopting steel-composite framed construction as they have several advantages as compared
to reinforced concrete frames. The main reasons for using steel frames include:
ï‚· Steel frames are faster to erect as compared to concrete frames.
ï‚· As steel frames are comparatively lighter, it results in very much reduced loads on
foundations
ï‚· The steel frame construction is more suitable to withstand lateral loads caused by wind or
earthquake
The structural components of a typical multi storey building includes a floor system which
transfers the floor load to a set of plane frames in one or both directions. The floor system also
helps to transfer lateral loads from winds and earthquakes. The frame consists of beams and
columns and in some case
aces, reinforced walls.
2.1.1 Beam and Column construction: This is often refe
ed as skeletal construction. The floor
slabs, exterior walls, partitions etc. are all supported by a framework of steel beams and columns.
The frame generally consists of columns spaced 6 to 10 meters apart with beams and girders
connected to them from both directions at each floor level. An example of skeletal construction
is shown in fig.1. Hot rolled I sections or concrete encased steel members are generally used as
columns. The selection of beam section generally depends on the span consideration, depth and
headroom considerations. Simple beams with precast floors are most favored for smaller spans.
For larger spans plate girders are used.

2.1.2 Flooring system: Of the several flooring systems like Concrete slabs supported by open
web joists, one way and two way slabs supported on steel beams, precast concrete slab floors etc.
the main criterion for selecting a particular system include load to be supported, span length,
dead weight of the floor, time required to construct etc. In this particular...
