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 the technology of building services installations 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.
