Reinforced concrete building design project & project based learning/ Nur Asmahamizah Zailani

To sum it all, all of the calculations that being made for all of the structure for all elements are successfully obtained and approved by meeting its requirement in bending, shear, deflection and also cracking. All of the design structures are predicted to be stable along with its life span that basically 50 years in this design. The safety of the residents is taken into consideration as the purpose of the design is to maintain the building in a good condition with no fail detected and can withstand the maximum load it can sustain. Therefore, the design that allocated to each of the structure members are sufficient to resist any of failure and balanced in terms of reinforcing. Other than that, steel rods, wires, mesh, or cables can be inserted in concrete before it cures to enhance its overall strength. Tensile forces are resisted by this reinforcement, also known as rebar. Reinforcement is typically installed in regions of the concrete that are prone to tension, such as the lower portion of beams. Thus, the usage of reinforced concrete in this project gives the stability and resistance to the compression and tension of the structure which can make it last longer and has high durability. The design also take the fire regulations into consideration as the building structure need to survives at least 60 minutes before it get effected by fire, thus the UBBL is take into this design. In addition, the use of nominal cover help the structure to make a distance between exposed concrete structure to the nearest reinforcement bar. Therefore, the reinforced concrete is usually used in this country as it gives the low maintenance and also can be used with similar applications. All of the design work were referred to the Malaysia National Annex for the validation of implication to the design of building. This gives the standardize to the engineers in order to avoid a wide range of solutions that could lead to an increase in the number of difficulties due to diverse methods. In order to detect the failure in the early stage of design, modification of design is taken into consideration. This leads to a better understanding of the importance of the suggested design's appropriateness during the estimating phase. Last but not least, all the data were extracted manually from different source to produce an acceptable design from this project
