Reinforced concrete building design project & project based learning (Case Study)

This report is based on Project I: Reinforced concrete building design, as well as Project 2: Project Based Learning, the flexible pavement design case study. This proposal is based on a two-story house with architectural drawings provided by a civil engineering consultant. This house has four bedrooms, three bathrooms, one living room, a kitchen, a store, and a porch, according to the architectural drawing. In addition, the Site Investigation report is being examined in order to determine the project's soil bearing capability. First and foremost, the project begins with the determination and preparation of the project's timetable. Microsoft Project is being used to create the timetable. The activities are presented in order of their duration and precedence. Hens, Microsoft Project will generate the schedule flow in visual form, such as a Gantt chart and a Network diagram, automatically. The critical path of the schedule is identified using the network diagram. As a result, the total flow of activities is completed. After that, the designing stage begins. The structural plan is being drawn up using the architectural drawing that has been provided. As a result, the structural elements that will be designed are determined ahead of time. By reference to the structural drawing, the slab is identified. Aside from that, the simple and critical beams are being determined. The continuous column and the essential column's pad footing are being determined. The stairwell is being located. The dimensions and weightage for the designed are derived from the 319 BS 1990 and BS 1991 standards. From there, the design process is based on Eurocode 2 as the primary reference for developing reinforced concrete structures. The reinforcement of the structure is decided by referring to the final appendix, the area of sections. As a result, the structure's details are drawn in AutoCAD. After the manual calculations are completed, the software creates the design. Spreadsheet is used for the stairwell whereas PROKON is used. for the slab, beam, column, and pad footing. The required construction details are entered into the software, after which the software generates the design based on Eurocode 2.
