Learning outcome 1: Understand and use appropriate technical terminology to describe large scale, commercial and/or advanced buildings and structures.
Learning outcome 2: Be aware of the latest developments in construction technology and sustainable built environment.
Learning outcome 3: Identify, evaluate, and apply construction principles and assembly techniques for non-structural and structural elements of buildings to produce solutions that suit different uses and client's needs within current statutory requirements.
Learning outcome 4: Compare and evaluate solutions for the design and assembly of buildings that satisfy a variety of performance expectations of buildings.
Learning outcome 5: Devise and produce sketch details that demonstrate interrelationship in the behaviour of structural and non-structural building elements and services using construction specifications and drawings.
PROJECT TASKS
Given the outline above, as a Lead Project Manager you are expected to prepare a portfolio of evidence to present to your Regional Projects Director, Yorkshire & Humberside Region, who is keen to understand how you intend to resolve the impending construction constraints associated with the in-situ concrete framed project (not precast concrete elements).
Task 1: With reference to the proposed foundation shown in the brief (Figures 2 & 3), and the inadequacies that may be a source of concern to the structural robustness of the foundations, carry out a detail evaluation of different foundation types and propose a change to the original proposal, if required. While considering different foundation types within the context of the site, ensure that different potential improvement techniques are evaluated for each type of foundation with reference to the unique site conditions.
After a through analysis of different foundation types, explain your proposed solution in detail. Note that the building will still be constructed as a concrete framed structure; you are only expected to propose changes to elements below the basement floor level.
Task 2 - The construction of the Loading bay (Figure 2) is to allow for loading/unloading of goods by heavy articulated trucks. Using a scale of 1:50, produce elevations/sections at the following points within the loading bay:
a) Front elevation at ‘FE' taken at mid-point of the loading bay wing and allowing 1000mm as the projection of the headwall either side of the loading bay. Your drawing should be fully annotated, labelled and well described with as much technical detail as deemed necessary for the onsite project team.
b) A longitudinal cross section through the loading bay taken at ‘LS'; assuming a total length of 6000mm from the loading bay's end wings. The detail should include the reinforced concrete roof and floor to the loading bay.
Please note: For this task, all elevations/sections must be based on the details as shown in Figure 2 but must be well annotated to show your proposed materials, methods and construction techniques that are suitable for the design and unique site conditions. Do not assume alternative details beyond the in-house design brief provided herewith (Drawings on two A3 papers, one per section).
Task 3 - Outline a detailed sequence for the construction of the loading bay from start to the finished ground floor, paying attention to all the elements to be constructed in the right sequence. Your description of the construction process must include justification for your choice of formwork, concrete type/mix and concreting processes. Take your recommended solutions from Task 1 into consideration when explaining the construction processes. You are encouraged to use images/pictures to explain your construction techniques.
