Building Construction 2 Project 1

Project 1: Understanding Forces in Skeletal Structure

Introduction: Experiencing and understanding skeletal construction is important as it is one of the most widely used structures for building support. As a designer we should know how skeletal structure works. Skeletal structure provides the load bearing resistance of the structure and supports the secondary elements.

Objectives of Assignment:
• 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.

Learning Outcomes:
• Apply construction system in design.
• Recognize the implication of construction systems in design.
• Analyse the issues of strength, stiffness and stability of structures including modes of structural systems, forces, stress and strain and laws of static.
