CPCCBS6002 Research And Evaluate Construction Methods And Materials For Commercial Buildings To Three Storey Assignment Help and Solution - TAFE NSW

Assessment Task - Portfolio

The major elements of learning are:

1. Analyse construction methods for commercial buildings.

2. Analyse construction materials for commercial buildings.

3. Analyse information relating to service provision for commercial buildings.

Task - The creation of documentation as set out by your class teacher will form part of the project portfolio. This will involve completing in-class tasks (observation of completion of these in class time will be required). A task completed without class observation done may result in an "unsatisfactory" result. All tasks must be satisfactorily completed.

Typical documentation that will be required for each project, as a minimum is as follows:

Part A - Construction methods

Refer to the plans provided Proposed Commercial & Residential Development and address each of the following:

1. Based on the plans, and assuming Class M soil classification, consider 2 different methods for:-

the excavation (including shoring)

Describe the various methods of site testing and examination, and the probable findings, that would have resulted in the use of 'piered' footings

Describe in detail the installation/application of any form pest control appropriate to the building that you have selected

the basement construction technique; covering footings, floor and walls

waterproofing to achieve

-wet basement

-dry (tanked) basement

In presenting your information, provide a detailed sketch (half page) and in point form, explain the technique. Do this in one page for each item (that is, six pages in total)

2. What parts of the structural provisions of the NCC are relevant to these types of construction? List, with a brief statement of relevance.

Part B - Construction materials

1. Conduct / complete a Building Code assessment using Section C of the NCC. Put your results in a table.

2. Based on your assessment:-

Explain what type of façade would comply (provide at least 2 examples). Provide any product brochures that justify your answer.

Explain what types of internal walls (and doors) are required, where they are required and why. You must consider all storeys. Provide any product brochures that justify your answer.

3. Using the materials/products you have just researched -

Explain how the materials/products are installed and

At what stage of the construction they are installed (for both the façade and internal walls).

Part C - Services

1. The building is located in an area that is "Climate Zone - 6", and the developer is proposing to control the temperature to the Class 2 part of the building using air conditioning. Based on this information you are to:

Provide recommendations to comply with Part J of the NCC specifically Clause J3.4 & Clause J3.6.

Provide any product brochures that will achieve the relevant energy efficiency for the building.

Include any diagrams (you may sketch a proposal that will comply with this clause)

Part D - BCA Definitions

1. Define, quoting mathematical formulae (and referencing your source) the following generic engineering terms:

Force;

Stress;

Strain;

Bending moment;

Deflection; and

Shear.

2. Provide a list of DTS compliant claddings identified in Volume 1 of BCA.

3. In accordance with the Building Code of Australia, describe the process by which a Performance Solution may be approved with regards to Fire Safety may be assessed and by whom in your State or Territory.
