Below are some pictures of the Brambuk Information Centre during the construction of the frame.
This picture shows how the LVL column is tapered so the measurement where it is connected at the base plate is considerably different to where it is connected to the rafters and purlins.
Another good example of how the column is tapered. This also gives an indication of how the column will look at completion in terms of its connection to the concrete footing under the floor line of the building.
This photo was taken of the bottom of the LVL column, showing its intersection to the concrete footing through the use of steel that sits inside the column and is connected to the base plate. The steel is actually bolted inside the LVL column to ensure additional stability. This connection is what i have focused on for my model, using the measurements provided to me by the engineering firm P.J Yttrup and Associates.
