Reinforced concrete building design project & project based learning (Case Study) / Irfan Harris Syahrulazamir

At the end of this project, the structural elements of the 2-storey bungalow were able to be designed and detailed while at the same time complying with the regulations required. The project schedule of the project was able to be completed using Microsoft Project showcasing every activity involved during the pre construction, construction and post construction phase of the project. Structural key plans of the ground floor, first floor and roof floor were able to be drawn via AutoCAD by referring to the architectural drawings provided by the architects. From the structural key plans, the selected slab panel, simply supported beam, continuous beam, column, pad footing and staircase were managed to be designed and provided with sufficient reinforcement using manual calculations and software design, namely Prokon, according to the specifications and the loadings acting on the structural elements respectively. The output of both method of designing were then compared with one another to observe that the differences between the two. Not only that, the cost of constructing all of the selected structural members for the project were also managed to be determine using appropriate methods, which are Taking off and Bill Of Quantities. Using the taking of method, the dimensions as well as the quantity of the items required for the construction work of the structure were able to be determine while the Bill Of Quantities helps in calculating the total cost to purchase the items required. Not to mention, both case study which is to determine the soil bearing capacity of the footing as well as designing a flexible pavement were also able to be calculated and completed. Overall, the project has been completed with great success.
