Aims
To explain and analyse the construction techniques of framed multi-storey buildings.
To enable students to evaluate the relative merits of the various construction forms in any given situation
To introduce current and future building services technologies for commercial and industrial buildings.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Analyse and explain a range of processes and techniques involved in the construction of the substructure for single storey and multi storey framed buildings.
2.
Analyse and explain a range of processes and techniques involved in the construction of the superstructure for single storey and multi storey framed buildings.
3.
Explain the principles and operation of a range of building services for industrial and commercial buildings and understand how services may adapt in the future to save energy and resources.
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:• Substructure – pile foundations, displacement and replacement, pile caps and ground beams, pad foundations. Basement excavation and construction. Reinforced concrete ground floor slabs.
• Superstructure – Single storey framed buildings of portal frame and lattice girder construction in steel concrete and timber. Multi storey structural frames in steel in-situ concrete and precast concrete. Cross laminated timber multi storey structures. Cladding to single storey and multi storey buildings and integrated solar panels. Roofing to single and multi-storey buildings. Structural concrete floors, suspended ceilings, access floors and internal partitions.
• Services to industrial and commercial buildings including alternative forms of energy supply.
Additional Information:Provides an advanced knowledge of construction technology through more complex building types and systems. Students are able to explore construction technology through more analytical methods. The concept of services is also introduced.
