BUILDING CONSTRUCTIONS II

PROJECT 1 : SKELETAL CONSTRUCTION (TEMPORARY BUS SHELTER)

Experiencing and understanding skeletal construction as it is one of the most widely used structures for building support.

In a group of 6 , we are required to construct a temporary bus shelter according to the specifications :-

-scale 1:5

-construction should demonstrate the knowledge of skeletal frames and its joints, define all building structural components.

This project is to create an understanding of skeletal structure system and how it works, including analyzing the issues of strength, stiffness, and stability of structures including modes of structural forces, stress, strain and laws of static.

Final report

PROJECT 2 : GRID SHELL STRUCTURE ( PHOENIX INTERNATIONAL MEDIA CENTER )

In a group of two, we have to choose a building and define and analyze the structural systems used and to produce:-

-A model on an A3 base showing the structural systems used in the above building

-A detailed model showing appropriate constructional joints is encouraged.

We have to analyze the success or failure of the model together with the mitigating measures and to include a brief introduction of the building, construction method from its sub-structure to super structure, modelling process as well as detailing of different parts of the buildings to show how it is constructed.

The objectives of this project are as follows:
 To create an understanding of building components used and its assembly.

 To demonstrate good drawing skills in building details and how it reacts under loading and force.

 To be able to manipulate the selection of materials used and ensure its buildability.

Learning Outcomes

 Identifications of basic structural systems in construction

 Differentiate in terms of loads and forces acting on structural elements.

 Recognize and apply the implications of construction system in design.

 Analyse the issues of strength, stiffness and stability of structures including modes of structural systems, forces, stress and strain and laws of static.
