Reinforced concrete building design project: project based learning / Nuranisa Mohamad Sajim

Overall, the concepts and procedures of designing the basic components of a double storey building are described. Apart from that, the planning of the building with regard to appropriate directions for the respective rooms, choosing position of beams and column are also properly explained. The project design calculations were done by manual calculation and software which is PROKON. Both output data produced has a different value. It can be from the different formula used by manual calculation and PROKON. Software application in construction and engineering field very important to achieve better result and decision in the project implemented. This is because larger scale changes in the construction area and traditional method is no longer suitable to be used. There are many software in engineering such as steel structure, wood, concrete, aluminium and others. Difficult structures need longer time to be designed, with indirectly enhance project cost. Therefore, with this structure engineering software, design structure were easier to do. System engineering software produce more accurate result and fast in the design. Hereby can reduce cost and save time needed compared with traditional method apply before this. On the other word, it can produce fast, economical and good quality in construction
