PORTFOLIO
BUILDING CONSTRUCTION
Project 1:Understanding Forces in Skeletal Structure
In this project. we are to construct a skeletal structure derive from design, using popsicle sticks to built up minimum 30cm height with limited popsicle, 100 sticks and below and without using glue. The structure to withstand at least 20kg of load.
Learning outcomes in this project :
• 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
Learning outcomes in this project :
• 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.
Project 2 INDIVIDUal
2D isometric drawing showing detailing of different parts of the selected buildings complete with annotations and specifications to show understanding on how the building is constructed.
A key drawing is included to show where the detail is taken from the building.
