BUILDING CONSTRUCTION 2 (ARC 2513)

Project 2 Understanding Forces in Solid Structure & Surface Structure

Our group has proposed a few surface construction buildings and we are assigned to proceed our work with the building L'Hemisferic. We have made a model showing the construction details of the surface construction and a booklet to analyse the process of model making.

 

L'Hemisferic:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The model that we have made for this project is shown in the photos below:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The booklet that our group has made is shown in the slideshow below:

Then, we are assigned to draw detail drawing of one part of the building individually. I have drawn the detail drawings of the reinforced concrete wall.

 

Through this project, I have learned how to identifu the basic structural systems in construction. I have learned to compare solid and surface construction and differentiate them in terms of loads and forces acting on structural elements. I am able to recognize and apply the implications of construction system in design after doing this project. I have learned how to analyse the issues of strength, stiffness and stability of structures including modes of structural systems, forces, stress and strain and laws of static
