Reinforced concrete building design project & project based learning (Case Study) / Aimi Aini Mohd Isa

At the end of this assignment, there are a few things that the students learned. The first one is that the students learned on how to read the architecture drawing to produce the structural drawing. The main structure that is drawn for the structural key plan are beams, slab, and column. Next, the students can determine the design parameters for every element that they must design in this assignment. The design parameters are characteristics strength of concrete (fyk), characteristics strength of steel (fck), unit weight of concrete, design life, exposure class and other. Meanwhile the elements that the students need to design are slab, simply supported beam, continuous beam, column, pad footing and staircase. On top of that, the students also learned on how to determine the weights of materials by referring to British Standard and Eurocode 1 and 2. Other than that, the students are also able to construct the timeline of all this construction activities that need to be done by using the Microsoft Project Schedule. As a result, they can include the list of activities together with the time frame. Another skill and knowledge that the students gained are the correct way on how to design and calculate the main reinforced concrete structure in the building. In this part, they can refer to the Appendix from UiTM that is following the Eurocode 1 and 2. Other than that, the students are also able to produce the detailing to show the dimension and reinforcement of all six structures. This detailing was done by using the AutoCAD. After that, the students able to design the same structural elements except staircase by using software which is Prokon. Therefore, the students can compare the output from the Prokon with the manual calculation. Furthermore, the students also able to do the taking-off and produce bill of quantities by referring to the detailing from the manual calculation. Lastly, the students are capable to complete the case study that is required in this assignment. The first case study is to find the soil bearing capacity, while case study 2 is to design a flexible road pavement. Both case study can be the evidence that the students are able to use the knowledge from Soil Engineering and Highway Engineering in real life. As a conclusion, they can complete all the requirements for this assignment to produce the final report.
