1 & MOVING FORWARD by THE FIJI INSTITUTION OF ENGINEERS for THE GOVERNMENT OF FIJI 1
2 1.0 INTRODUCTION The Fiji Institution of Engineers This presentation summarises the common findings of the 10 consulting firms that ventured out over the last few weeks across the country to assess and report on 219 schools and 27 health care facilities in areas affected by Tropical Cyclone Winston (TCW). The assessments were performed on a pro-bono basis driven by The Fiji Institution of Engineers in assistance to The Government of Fiji as part of the re-building process. 2
3 Assessments of schools and health care facilities were undertaken in the following areas; Tailevu Rakiraki Tavua Vatukoula Ba Lautoka Nadi Sigatoka Yasawas Mamanucas Ovalau Taveuni Bua-Macuata Cakaudrove Vanuabalavu Lomaiviti Group 3
4 The findings are presented through the following; Common Modes of Failure typical failure types and damages due to TCW Factors Contributing to Damages other factors elevating the extent of damage apart from the direct impact of a Category 5 cyclone Considerations & Moving Forward Short to Intermediate Solutions Long Term Solutions Immediate Resolutions Medium to Long Term Resolutions 4
5 2.0 COMMON MODES OF FAILURE The Fiji Institution of Engineers Damages observed in the affected facilities include the following common modes of failure; Gutters, downpipes, fascia & flashings; Windows & doors; Roof cladding; Roof framing various forms of failure; Ceilings including electrical and other services; Walls; Completely or badly damaged structures; Damages to site services - water tanks, fencing, power distribution lines, etc. 5
6 2.1 Gutters, Downpipes, Fascia & Flashings Most common type of damage dislocation, distortion and blow out of guttering, downpipes, flashings, etc Damage widely accepted and common even in Category 2 type cyclones Damages quite easily repairable as part of short to intermediate re-build 6
7 2.2 Windows & Doors Broken windows and damaged doors - common mode of failure observed and typical in most cyclones Generally most damage occurred due to flying debris and construction materials most facilities not having any form of shuttering Easily repairable in buildings that have undergone slight to moderate level of overall damage 7
8 2.3 Roof Cladding Very common damage in TCW most damages associated with partial and complete blow out Damages in local areas very common poor detailing of local areas - widely spaced purlin support Type of damage generally common in poorly constructed facilities even in Category 3 type windspeeds 8
9 2.3 Roof Cladding (cont.) Fixing of roof cladding typically nailed in most facilities inspected cyclone screws widely used now Inferior cladding & products observed thin gauge cladding typical with inferior fasteners (raptured) Easily repairable if support structure not damaged as part of short to intermediate re-fix 9
10 2.4 Roof Framing Complete, partial and localised failure in various roof framing elements common Failure mainly due to poor holding down of timber trusses and rafters - substandard construction using No. 8 wire and in most cases (for old buildings) using skew nail fixing over wallplates 10
11 2.4 Roof Framing (cont.) Condition of roof framing materials also major factor in failure timber splitting, rotting, termite infestation quite common Insufficient holding down of purlins skew nailed and No. 8 wire fixing observed to most facilities Poor truss connections and inadequate member sizes 11
12 2.4 Roof Framing (cont.) Short/intermediate term re-build possible in roofs that are partially damaged to start using facility Timber roof framing generally more difficult to repair and retrofit Replacement where extensively damaged, should be based on long term solutions potentially involving complete demolition and re-build 12
13 2.5 Ceilings Common in most cyclones even in Category 2 water damage to ceiling linings, lights, electrical fittings, etc Important to note that immediate use of facilities would require replacement of water damaged ceilings as part of short to intermediate repair to avoid risk of collapse 13
14 2.6 Walls The Fiji Institution of Engineers Timber wall structures generally suffered extensive damage walls were found to have poor connections, poor bracing and in deteriorated condition due to age Concrete walls performed reasonably well, however, strength and stability needs to be checked in detail - some cases involved collapse in concrete walls due to poor construction and lack of reinforcing 14
15 2.6 Walls (cont.) Timber structures that are damaged significantly recommended to be demolished and built in concrete with new roof Concrete wall structures have more potential for retrofitting to resist required uplift and lateral loads should walls be under-reinforced more dependent upon intrusive testing and investigations 15
16 2.7 Completely or Badly Damaged Structures Completely or badly damaged structures typically involved old structures built in timber Poor connections, tie downs and deteriorated member conditions and age were common factors Re-build recommended in concrete construction with new roof in compliance with NBCF (more long term solution prioritized as a intermediate need) 16
17 2.8 Damages to Site Services Water tank damage was a commonly observed to most of the facilities visited either blown off, dislocated or raptured - lack of tie down major factor Other damages included fencing damage due to flying debris and fallen trees Broken telecom and power lines within facilities quite common 17
18 3.0 FACTORS CONTRIBUTING TO DAMAGES The Fiji Institution of Engineers The damages were fairly consistent amongst findings of the various Structural Engineers involved with rapid assessments. Most damages occurred as a result of one or more of the following contributing factors further elevated by damaging TCW windspeeds; 3.1 Lack of Periodic Maintenance Inspection & replacement/repair of structural elements appears to have been left out - contributing to failure Most buildings - do not appear to have structural upgrades since built, however more aesthetic, painting, etc structural upgrade much needed to NBCF compliance 18
19 3.0 FACTORS CONTRIBUTING TO DAMAGES (cont.) 3.2 Building Age Nothing lasts forever most roofing materials in poor condition - rotten, splitting, poorly connected, old pre NBCF construction techniques needs major rehabilitation long term Building age ranges from 30 to 70+ years for most facilities and has been rattled by many cyclones 3.3 Poor Construction & Workmanship Use of substandard & inferior materials, poor workmanship, lack of knowledge on standard practice Not following drawings and specifications Lack of Supervision by Qualified Engineers 19
20 4.0 CONSIDERATIONS & MOVING FORWARD The Fiji Institution of Engineers 4.1 Short Term to Intermediate Solutions Repair and reinstatement of facilities to precyclone condition particularly for buildings that suffered minor to repairable form of damages - for full use Not necessary the compliant solution, but re-build items should be equal or better with some degree of compliance For buildings completely destroyed or extensively damaged, intermediate solutions may not be required - new re-build recommended for long term solution in compliance with NBCF, however, prioritised as part of an intermediate need 20
21 4.0 CONSIDERATIONS & MOVING FORWARD (cont.) 4.2 Long Term Solutions Consideration to re-construct roofs in strict compliance to NBCF - most common failures were in roofs Re-build completely new or where necessary retrofit to NBCF compliance including those buildings that were not damaged Potential for retrofitting depending on material condition, type and age requiring further detailed structural investigations Timber structures completely damaged buildings were mainly of timber construction - long term solution should consider concrete form whether or not existing timber buildings suffered damaged 21
22 4.0 CONSIDERATIONS & MOVING FORWARD (cont.) 4.3 Immediate Resolutions Build Back Sector Shelters Clusters not part of FIE scope should ensure proper design, construction compliance and monitoring/supervision Education & Health require design and re-building to NBCF monitoring under guidance of an FIE Professional Engineer Materials Compliance, Code & Standards Materials designers to ensure compliant materials used with strict monitoring to ensure its correct use during construction 22
23 4.0 CONSIDERATIONS & MOVING FORWARD (cont.) Codes & Standards Adoptation designers to continue the use of the current edition of the National Building Code of Fiji Re-build to be designed accordingly and to be classified by importance level depending on number of occupants expected in the building Possible consideration in designing one building in facility for specific Post Disaster Function for functioning as a evacuation center 23
24 4.0 CONSIDERATIONS & MOVING FORWARD (cont.) 4.4 Medium to Long Term Resolutions Registry of Professionals & Builders Strengthen FIE capacity more resourcing, funding Strengthen registration of Engineers, Architects, Quantity Surveyors, Valuers, Land Suveyors, Builders, Electricians, Plumbers, Specialist Trades, Draftsmen, etc Enforcement Agencies Training improve skills, awareness of codes and compliance Strengthening more resourcing and skilled personnel required to enforce stricter compliance 24
25 4.0 CONSIDERATIONS & MOVING FORWARD (cont.) Awareness & Publicity Building Codes needs to be used by all industry service providers Home Builders Manual forms basis of domestic low cost housing - should be widely adopted document for all residential construction Build back better awareness in the need to build compliant structures needs common understanding and agreement between all stakeholders (Government, Private & Non- Government Sectors) 25
26 4.0 CONSIDERATIONS & MOVING FORWARD (cont.) 4.5 Summary Moving Forward Prioritising re-building which facilities to be done first, priority and staging For structures with slight to moderate level of damage potential for a short to intermediate repair for immediate re-use (not necessarily a compliant structure but allows facility to be re-used) Long term solutions to follow up intermediate repair to ensure compliance to NBCF is achieved (based on prioritising the need against funding) For structures badly damaged or destroyed, intermediate re-build shall be based on long term solutions fully compliant to NBCF 26
27 4.0 CONSIDERATIONS & MOVING FORWARD (cont.) 4.5 Summary Moving Forward Timber structures (damaged or not) recommended highly to be demolished and re-built in concrete construction long term goal for timber structures Re-building of facilities should consider provision of back up water and power supply tanks potentially sized for post disaster relieve with sufficient water and power for few days of immediate relieve after a cyclonic event Specific designated evacuation centers to be identified by the Government potentially one building built strong with back up water/power to higher Importance Level costly but much needed 27
28 4.0 CONSIDERATIONS & MOVING FORWARD (cont.) 4.5 Summary Moving Forward Re-building to be done with strict compliance to NBCF designed, documented and supervised construction to avoid repeat of poor workmanship, substandard construction techniques and inferior build quality Strict use of materials in compliance to acceptable codes and standards outlined in NBCF Channelled through FIE, the need for respective committees to monitor design standards and materials; Building Code and Standards Committee; Building Materials Committee 28
