Civil engineering design project reinforced concrete building design project and project based learning / Ali Mifdzal Marzuki

To conclude, all structure and component calculations have been approved. Bending, shear, deflection, and cracking requirements were met. This design expects all structures to last 50 years. The design aims to preserve the building in good condition with no failures and to make sure it can withstand its maximum load. The design method considers resident safety. Thus, the design that gave each section of the structure suitable strength assures that it can resist any failure while keeping a balanced degree of reinforcing. In addition, adding steel rods, wires, mesh, or cables before the concrete hardens increases its strength. As a reference for carrying out its duties in terms of design and workmanship, the civil engineering department relies on Standards and Codes of practice. The cumulative knowledge and technical competence within the building and construction sector serve as a codified version of standards or codes of practice. We need to have a strong understanding of concrete in order to build reinforced concrete that is not as simple as we anticipated.As we all know, concrete is used more in building projects than steel. Thus, a Code of Practice-compliant reinforced concrete design is needed. All building projects must follow the Malaysia Standard Eurocode Code of Practice. We must also follow the Uniform Building By Law. If we broke the law, our project could be delayed and costlier. Reinforced concrete design is also crucial to building a customer-use structure.To put it another way, as designers, it is our responsibility to ensure that our work is error-free so that we can protect our clients from harm. As civil engineers, it is our duty to ensure that the components that we design are capable of withstanding potentially dangerous conditions, such as earthquakes, flash floods, intense winds, and other types of extreme weather.For the diploma level, all that is required of us is to design a static building which the activity of wind is not taken into account in the design processes. As consequence of this, this is a fundamental understanding that we, as students of civil engineering, need to acquire. The application of the standard Code of practice will result in the standardization of all aspects of the construction. If we reject the Code of Practice, it will be clear that we are engineers without ethics.
