Individual Case Study
Learning Outcomes
I am now able to evaluate, explore and improve attributes of construction materials. By exploring and applying understanding of load distribution in a truss, I was able to construct a truss which is strong to withstand weight. By doing so, i can evaluate and identify tension and compression members in a truss structure. This group work has allow me and my friends to explore different arrangement of members in a truss structure and create the most suitable and stable truss structure.
Project 2: Extension of an R.C. Bungalow
Learning Outcomes
Through this project I have learnt how to produce a complete documentation on structural system of a case study, explore and understand the concept of structural analysis, identify structural components, recognize, Execute and implement basic procedures of building structure design and produce a structural proposal. By learning such, I have also gained knowledge on how to calculate the resultant forces acting upon the structures of beam and columns. By knowing these, I can create more stable builldings.
