QSB 2523 STRUTURES

Instructor: Chai Voon Chiet

Module Teaching Objectives The teaching objectives of the module are:
1. To provide student a continuation study of the development and understanding of basic concept of structures taken in construction technology.
2. To understand structural systems including foundations that essential and integral components of all buildings.
3. To establish a clear understanding of the physical behaviour of structural elements and complete systems. 4. To identify the structural principles and the knowledge gained is appropriately applied to ensure that there is a total integration of structural function and action with the overall design objectives.

Module Learning Outcomes Upon successful completion of this module, I am able to:
1. Explain the action of structural elements and complete systems.
2. Recognize the perception of structure as an integral element of architecture.
3. Identify the problem encountered through the structure principles.
4. Interpret the application of the total integration of structural functions and actions with the overall design objectives.
5. Analyse and provide pragmatic solutions to problems of a technological nature.
6. Plan all aspects of design, in collaboration with structural engineers of course, in order to realize their design concepts.
