Project 1 : Roof Truss
Introduction
Truss is a structure built up of three or more members which are normally considered being pinned and hinged at the joints. The following figure shows different types of trusses, perfect and redundant. Load applied to the truss is transmitted to joint so that each individual members are in either pure tension or compression.
Objectives & Learning Outcomes
To develop student’s understanding on the potential of truss system in their design.To develop student’s understanding of force distribution in a truss
To design a roof truss which fulfills the following criteria: o High aesthetic value o Minimal construction material
Explore and apply understanding of load distribution in a truss
Able to evaluate and identify tension and compression members in a truss structure
Explore different arrangement of members in a truss structure
​
Project 2 : Structural Analysis of a Bungalow
Introduction
The project is an integrated component where it involves structural theory, force calculation and basic structural proposal. This project is designed to allow the demonstration of knowledge and understanding of building structure.
Objectives & Learning Outcomes
-
To introduce the basic process of building structures design process to the students.
-
To enable the students to have a holistic experience including Concept and Structure Layout Design, Building Structure Engineering Considerations, Structure Members Sizing and Calculations, Final Report and Presentation.
-
Produce a complete documentation on structural system of a case study
-
Explore and understand the concept of structural analysis
-
Identification of structural components
-
Recognize, Execute and implement basic procedures of building structure design
-
Produce a structural proposal
