Building Construction 2 [ARC2513]
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:
* 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.
This project reflects the understanding of skeletal structure and the reaction of its structural components under loading. This fun yet challenging process of making popsicle tower structure implied the understanding of skeletal construction systems into the design. The model of our group was able to withstand a load of 60kg with the weight of 130g before it gave away and collapsed. Issues such as strength, stiffness and stability of structure including lodes of structural systems, forces, stress and strain as well as laws of static are then analyzed in a report.

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 : • 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.
