BUILDING PROJECT

THE SEED TERRE
Design Completed: January, 2009

Owner :		Preuksa Real Estate PCL.
Structural Engineer :		CASE Co., Ltd.
Architect :		KUU World Co., Ltd.
Structure :		An 8 storeys apartment building on Ratchayothin junction, Bangkok: Total area is approximately 14,000 sq.m. The main structural system composes of pre-cast concrete plank with thick topping resting on cast-in-situ bearing wall. No beam was used in order to limit floor height. Since the ground floor is used for parking space, transferring beam is used at the second floor level to transfer forces from the bearing walls to columns. The depth of transferring beam was limit and thus integrated wall-beam system was used. With this structural system, the project can be completed in less than 10 months. The structures were carefully designed to withstand natural disaster such as wind and earthquake.
