� Site Area: 1,020 square metres � Constructional Floor Area: 2,560 square metres
� Church’s Disposal Plan: The Church wanted to demolish the Building in 1990, but was turned down by its HQ In July 2002, the Church applied for permission to demolish the Building and that provoked protests from District Council (C&W), local residents and Ho’s Family

Background (III) � The Government’s Decision: Choice for the Site of the Dr Sun Yat-sen Museum - proximity to the existing Dr Sun Yat-sen Historic Trail - both Mr. HO Kom Tong and Dr Sun studied in Central School - compatible scale in physical size - convenient location
� The Acquisition: In Feb 2004, the Church agreed in principle to surrender the Building & the Site to the Government of HKSAR
� Deed of Surrender executed on 9th June 2004 on consideration of $53 million

IssuesThe issues are mainly technical with a view that the building would be re-adaptively used as a museum. Impact onto the existing building with the following requirement have been studied and examined, design made based on the principle of “minimum intervention” to the existing building.
1. The provision of Central Air Conditioning;
2. The provision of Sprinkler System and other Fire Service matter;
3. The Provision of sufficient Means of Escapes;
4. The provision of sufficient sanitary fittings for a museum;
5. The Provision of Barrier Free Access (passenger/disabled lift);
6. Geotechnical and structural safety.

Questions to be addressed Are the materials and construction methods for the building structure and fabric well understood?
Is the building safe for the change of use from a residential building into a museum and is it suitable for conversion? (loading, fire)
Are there inherent defects within the structure and the fabric?
Is it expensive to carry out repair works and what will be the long term maintenance cost?
Is the rear retaining wall safe?
Adopting the minimum-intervention policy for conversion, how can we meet conflicting constraints?

History of structural steel
![Page 24: Annual Concrete Seminar Restoration of Kom Tong Hall into ... · Ho Kom Tong, Ho’s Family (1914-1959) Cheng’s Family (1959-1960) Church of Jesus Christ of Later-day Saint also](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052008/601ce51d9610993b2705af72/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
History of steel reinforcement in RC structures
First discovered by Joseph Louis Lambot in mid 1800’s – by adding thin steel bars to concrete in garden tubs and concrete beams.
First patented in USA by Thaddeus Hyatt in 1878 – popularity rocketed in early 1900’s.
Patented by a French engineer Francois Hennebique (1842-1921) in 1892 in the concrete slab with steel bars placed at its bottom face. The bars are flattened at the ends and split to form a ‘fish tail’.
The steel reinforcement has been refined over the years in terms of form, shape and quality.

Structural Survey
The aim of the survey was to reveal the structural system, pathology of the load path, structural sizes including foundations, connection details and construction method.
The performance of the structure was then assessed by investigation of its conditions to establish load carrying capacities.
Construction and design methods were also considered alongside with the materials of the building in the context of age, past use and changes that might have occurred.
Diagnosis and identification of building defects that could betray the the performance of the structure should be reported.
Survey supplemented with sample testing by testing laboratories after initial assessment to confirm findings.

Conclusions
Process of giving new life to an old building was presented with the use of the principle of “minimum-intervention”;
Background knowledge of historical materials and construction techniques are very important before we embark on conservation;
Thorough survey of building structure to ensure safety, durability and convertibility are well understood;
Be prepared to act swiftly on site for unforeseen problems.
