Unit 30 Advance structural design - Higher National Certificate/Diploma in Construction and the Built Environment
Advance Structural design
Learning Outcome 1: Explore deflection due to wind loadings, on fixed structures, and strategies to resist wind loading. LO2 Determine bending, shear and deflection for complex support conditions.
Learning Outcome 2. Design complex columns and piled foundations based on calculations. LO4 Explore the design of tensile structures.
Learning Outcome 3 Explore the design of tensile structures.
SCENARIO
• The Client who is a private investor needs a three storey, framed college building. The building frame provides the structure for a series of high specification lecture rooms , exhibition hall and meeting rooms which are intended to be built in the south of England, around Heathrow Airport. The college block can be developed with steel or concrete or a combination ofboth. The college block has a plan dimension of 50m by 30m. Height of each storey is 3m. The span of the beams and columns can be chosen based on RC or steel frame. Outside the college building, there is a space to be used for exhibitions which needs to be covered with a tensile structure.
• Prepare design information required for the given scenario utilising piled foundations and steel columns.
Also calculate
the loads on the piles and select a suitable diameter of reinforced concrete pile.
• Discuss the benefits of using Building Information Modelling in the design workflow.
• Assess the most effective foundation type for a given scenario in terms of ease and speed of construction, economics, safety and environmental factors
Part 4- Tensile Structures
• Give three examples of different types of tensile structures.
• Provide the general design criteria for tensile structures.
• Provide two different design solutions for the exhibition space roof in the given scenario.
• Compare the two tensile solutions to a given scenario.
• Choose one of the tensile structures suggested for the given scenario and justify your selection.
