BUILDING CONSTRUCTION 2 (ARC 2513)

Project 1: Understanding Forces in Skeletal Structure

The objectives of this project are as follows:
• To create an understanding of skeletal structure and its relevant structural components.
• To understand how a skeletal structure reacts under loading.
• To demonstrate a convincing understanding of how Skeletal Construction works.
• To be able to manipulate Skeletal Construction to solve an oblique Design problem

Learning outcomes assessed in this project include:
• Apply construction system in design.
• Recognize the implication of construction systems in design.
• Analyse the issues of strength, stiffness and stability of structures including modes of structural
systems, forces, stress and strain and laws of static.

Project 2: Understanding Forces in Solid Structure and Surface Structure

The objectives of this project are as follows:

• To create an understanding of solid structure and surface structure and its relevant structural

components.

• To understand how a solid structure and surface structure reacts under loading.

• To demonstrate a convincing understanding of how Solid Construction and surface construction works.

• To exploit the qualities inherent in Solid Construction and surface construction.

• To be able to manipulate Solid Construction and surface construction to solve an oblique Design

problem.

Learning outcomes assessed in this project include:

• Identifications of basic structural systems in construction

• Compare solid and surface construction systems.

• Differentiate solid and surface construction systems in terms of loads and forces acting on structural

elements.

• Recognize and apply the implications of construction system in design.

• Analyse the issues of strength, stiffness and stability of structures including modes of structural

systems, forces, stress and strain and laws of static.
