Building Construction II


Understanding of structural systems in construction technology in relation to historical and innovative buildings. Solid, skeletal and surface construction systems are discussed and analysed. 

PROJECT 1: UNDERSTANDING FORCES IN SKELETAL STRUCTURE


Experiencing and understanding skeletal construction is important as it is one of the most widely used structures for building support. As a designer we should know how skeletal structure works. Skeletal structure provides the load bearing resistance of the structure and supports the secondary elements. 

Objectives of this project:
1. To create an understanding of skeletal structure and its relevant structural components.
2. To understand how a skeletal structure reacts under loading.
3. To demonstrate a convincing understanding of how Skeletal Construction works.
4. To be able to manipulate Skeletal Construction to solve an oblique Design problem. 

The following are my group's work for this project:

Final report for this project: Understanding forces in skeleton structure

Learning outcomes of this project:
1.Apply construction system in design.
2. Recognize the implication of construction systems in design.
3. Analyse the issues of strength, stiffness and stability of structures including modes of structural systems, forces, stress and strain and laws of static. 


PROJECT 2: UNDERSTAND FORCES IN SURFACE STRUCTURE


A building will normally comprise several different types of structural systems, either due to its function or building code requirements. As designers it is very important that you understand when and where each of the different type of structural system is used.Solid and surface construction method is one of the most widely used structures for building support. Solid and surface structure provides the required load bearing resistance and aesthetics required by designers. 


Objectives of this project:
1. To create an understanding of solid structure and surface structure and its relevant structural components.
2. To understand how a solid structure and surface structure reacts under loading.
3. To demonstrate a convincing understanding of how Solid Construction and surface construction works. 
4.To exploit the qualities inherent in Solid Construction and surface construction.
5. To be able to manipulate Solid Construction and surface construction to solve an oblique Design problem. 


The following are my work for this project:

The building we chosen to explore about is 02 Arena Millenium Dome.

Learning outcomes of this project:
1. Identifications of basic structural systems in construction
2. Compare solid and surface construction systems.
3. Differentiate solid and surface construction systems in terms of loads and forces acting on structural elements.
4. Recognize and apply the implications of construction system in design.
5. Analyse the issues of strength, stiffness and stability of structures including modes of structural systems, forces, stress and strain and laws of static.
