Civil engineering design project technical report

In conclusion, the construction sector makes extensive use of reinforced concrete. Reinforcement concrete is used in most modern buildings to boost their structural integrity. The backbone for building design is the civil engineer. In the unfortunate circumstance that a civil engineer makes a poor decision when designing a building, it may not succeed or last long. From the architectural drawing that I got from my uncle, an architect at Sabah, I have to analyse and understand the building layout , dimensions , floor plans, ground floor plan , roof plan and functional requirements . Evaluate the overall arrangement of spaces within the building and connection between them . From the analysed drawing, I can transfer the architectural drawing to structural drawing to make easy to know the suitable places to put the beam , column and slab. Based on the architectural drawing , I can identify the live and dead loads that acting on the structure . For slab , I have to choose one of the bigger and critical slab from the structural drawing. The slab that I designed was at first floor plan which is the slab with the biggest span. I have to determine the shear and moment for the slab by using manual calculation . I have to determine reinforcement layout such as the size and spacing to resist tensile and shear forces . The important part is to checking the deflection and also the cracking to make sure the designed is pass. After that , I have to prepared detailed drawings with reinforcements layouts , bar schedules , dimensions and specifications for each element. Same with designed continuous beam , column and also pad footing . Moreover, I have to designed staircase by using manual calculation since this project is two storey house. The software that I used for this project is esteem . I have to compared the manual calculation with esteem software. Some of the value from the esteem software is not same with the manual calculation because of the different formula . Apart from that, I can finish the project schedule, time frame, and activity list details. With Microsoft Project, the project is finished by using the Work Breakdown
