BUILDING
STRUCTURE
2016
The module covers principles of selecting appropriate structural systems and designing elements and structures, an introduction to structural analysis, deflections, structural design as well as the application of structural design codes including loading codes.
In a group of 5 members, select the design of one of the members in studio 3. Working in a group, we are required to re-design the roof of that building by using truss designs. By using any material of your choice, construct the model of your design. The size of the model must be appropriate to fit well on an A2 board.
Working in a group of 3 members, each group is to design a 2 storey bungalow which consist of the following components: 1 master bedroom with attached bathroom, minimum 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, kitchen, living hall, dining area, 1 store room.
The building layout should be a combination of building outline shown in category A and B attached. Next, students are required to carry out structural framing for the building.
