Aims

To introduce the construction technology for industrial and commercial buildings including building service installations and within the framework of an inclusive environment. To enable students to evaluate the relative merits of the various construction forms in any given situation.

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 frame structured single and multi-storey buildings.
3.
Explain the principles and operation of a range of building services for industrial and commercial buildings.
4.
Evaluate the application of modern methods of construction and sustainable technologies to industrial and commercial buildings.

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 insitu concrete and precast concrete. Cross laminated timber multi storey structures. Tunnel form and Slip form construction. Cladding to single storey and multi storey buildings. Roofing to single and multi-storey buildings. Structural concrete floors,- metal deck, precast concrete and in-situ concrete. Suspended Ceilings, Access Floors and Internal Partitions. Services – Heating Ventilation and Air conditioning plant, electrical installations, lifts and escalators installation. Pumped systems of water supply and fire fighting and suppression systems to multi storey buildings. Modern Methods of Construction, inclusivity and sustainable technologies will be considered where appropriate. International case studies are considered where relevant throughout the module.
Module Overview:
This module aims to introduce construction technology for industrial and commercial buildings including building service installations and within the framework of an inclusive environment. It will enable students to evaluate the relative merits of the various construction forms in any given situation
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 in commercial and industrial buildings are also introduced. On this module the Knowledge learning outcomes are K6, K7 and the Skills learning outcomes are S3.
