Learning Outcomes
1.interpret information from site investigations and apply it in the selection of appropriate building foundations;
2.describe and differentiate the methods for the construction of building superstructure using reinforced concrete, prestressed concrete, precast concrete, masonry, structural steel and timber;
3.describe typical concrete construction, steel fabrication and erection processes;
4.prepare sketches in concrete, block, structural steel and timber that correctly convey the required information to the intended user by: (a) interpreting and sketching elements or members from designers’ calculations (b) arranging elements or members to preclude clashes and facilitate fixing while satisfying design requirements (c) applying appropriate conventions from relevant standards and building codes;
5.select and apply appropriate methods for weather, sound, and fire-proofing buildings;
6.gain high level ability to define the required information and data
