Construction Technology 3 (BLD60304/QSB2514) Lecturer - Mr Chiew Seng Khoon

Module Synopsis

The module progresses through the stages of dewatering in basement excavation where water table is high above the basement  floor level; various types of retaining walls, drainage,  roadwork, common industrialized building systems, curtain walls for multi-storey commercial buildings, façade system, prestressing involving pretension and post-tension method, bridge construction, tension membrane roof and steel roof trusses.

Module Teaching Objectives

The teaching objectives of the module are:

1.To compile the processes involved at pre-construction stage in addition to the principles  and controls applied throughout the construction programme.

2.To indentify the methods of heavy/highway and building construction  and features  information on new construction technology.

3.To introduce the latest construction practices and processes for tall buildings from foundation to roof.

Module Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion of this module, students will be able to:

1.Illustrate  most aspects of elementary construction with an insight into the techniques applied in large- scale development using standard steel sections and reinforced concrete.

2.Apply the methods, materials, equipment and systems used for the construction of tall 

buildings.

3.Apply industrial methods which are mainly composed of factory produced components to a module or standard increment.

      Group Assignments

      This is a group assignment to write a report on any one  topic related to the module syllabus. Each group consist of 5 persons. For this group assignment , we have choose retaining wall as our project title. We have explain for 2 sub topic of retaining which is gabion wall and concrete retaining wall. Based on this two retaining wall , we manage to explain the purpose , requirement, pros and cons , installation , types and etc . After we have done explanation of this 2 sub topic , eventually we had do comparison in order to know how it function ,  which is suitable location for these retaining wall , when maintenance should be perform and best economical to choose the retaining wall. From this assignment I'm in charge of preparing comparison on both of this retaining wall and explanation for gabion wall under type , requirement and purpose. The picture below shown the work that i have done in this assignment:

     

 Individual Assignment
    
Objective
The objectives of this assignment are as follows:

1.Develop the ability to apply the complete constructional procedures of the 
various types of building with suitable materials and design


2.To illustrate each stage of the building and design process, with carefully labelled 
with the relevant technical terms.
    

Learning outcomes

On completion of this assignment, students will be able to:
       
1.To interpret the logical sequences of concepts and alternative construction practices, demonstrating the variation in  material application.
    
2.To explain the construction of buildings and the scientific principles which underpin the design and construction.

Task/Methodology
I'm required to prepare a booklet with 20 sketches / drawings based on some of the 
topics in my syllabus.

The picture below shown some example of the drawing that i have drawn:
