Building Structures

Project 1: Fettuccine Truss Bridge

Objectives of Project:
- To develop student’s understanding of tension and compressive strength of construction materials
- To develop student’s understanding of force distribution in a truss
- To design a perfect truss bridge which fulfils the following criterias:
o High level of aesthetic value
o Minimal construction material

Learning Outcomes of Project:
- Able to evaluate, explore and improve attributes of construction materials 
- 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: Extension of R.C. Bungalow 

Objectives of Project:
- 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. 

Learning Outcomes of Project:
- 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
