This course explores the technical issues associated with building types for public use including building structure, construction materials and techniques, and cost planning and specification. It is aimed at developing students understanding of the implications of using alternative materials and construction processes for structural systems; an understanding of construction design and detailing; an appreciation of the selection and design of foundations in response to specific ground and soil conditions; and an understanding of using Building Information Modelling (BIM) to design and documentation of structural system for commercial buildings.
| Objectives | On completion of this course students should be able to: - Understand the knowledge of the ground and soil conditions, materials, systems and components, and the techniques and methods used in the construction of commercial buildings. - Analyse the suitability of the various methods and technologies available for the construction of the commercial buildings in response to specific ground and site conditions. - Evaluate design alternatives in terms of buildability and cost. - Illustrate the construction sequencing of tasks and activities involved in the construction of commercial building. - Use Building Information Modelling (BIM) tools for design and documentation of structural system for commercial buildings. |
