Reinforced concrete building design project & project based learning

To sum it all, all calculations for all elements of the structure are successfully obtained and validated by satisfying their requirements for bending, shear, deflection, and cracking. It is anticipated that every design element will be stable and have a life duration of approximately 50 years. Since the purpose of the design is to keep the building in excellent condition with no fail identified and to endure the greatest load it can sustain, the safety of the residents is taken into consideration. As a result, the design elements assigned to each member of the structure are adequate to withstand any failure and balanced in terms of reinforcing. In addition, 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 stability and resistance to the compression and tension of the structure which can make it last longer and has high durability. The design also takes the fire regulations into consideration as the building structure needs to survive at least 60 minutes before it gets affected by fire, thus the UBBL is take into this design. In addition, the use of nominal cover helps the structure to make a distance between exposed concrete structure to the nearest reinforcement bar. Therefore, reinforced concrete is usually used in this country as it gives low maintenance and can be used with similar applications. All the design work were refined 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. Structural design is important in civil engineering because it helps to ensure the safety of the structure. Structural design provides all of the necessary information about foundations, stairs, slab, beams, column, and material quality to ensure that any structures built meet all of the safety requirements. It is critical for structural engineers to consider aesthetics when designing structures that can withstand pressures and loads without failing. A structure that does not take structural design into account will always fail. As a result, structural design is critical in all cotion projects because it directly affects the durability and safety of the structures.
