Project 2 - Understanding Force in Solid & Surface Structure
Learning Outcomes
Learning outcomes assessed in this project include:
• Identifications of basic structural systems in construction,
• Compare solid and surface construction systems.
• Differentiate solid and surface construction systems in terms of loads and forces acting on structural elements.
• Recognize and apply the impplications of construction system in design.
• Analyse the issues of strength, stiffness, stability of
structures including modes of structural systems,
forces, stress and strain, and law of static.
Project 1 - Understanding Force in Skeletal Structure
Objectives of Assignment
The objectives of this project are as follows:
• To create an understanding of skeletal structure and its relevant structural components.
• To understand how a skeletal structure reacts under loading.
• To demonstrate a convincing understanding of how Skeletal Construction works.
• To be able to manipulate Skeletal Construction to solve an oblique Design problem.
