Part 1
Milestones (Structures)
- Provide evidence that your group has started the structural drawings for the example structure.
o Plan at every level showing structural arrangement, with beam and column locations shown. Also showing all beam and column sizes and slab thicknesses.
o Possibly show some cross sections through selected parts of the building.
- Show evidence of starting an ‘extended brief' listing exactly what facilities the client will get in your Group's design.
- A draft structural Drawing of the first floor - INDIVIDUAL SUBMISSION
- 1000 word report on extended brief
Part 2
- Provide hard copies of structural drawings for example structure.
o Plan at every level showing structural arrangement, with beam and column locations shown. Also showing all beam and column sizes and slab thicknesses.
o Possibly show some cross sections through selected parts of the building.
- Provide an ‘extended brief' listing exactly what facilities the client will get in your Group's design.
- Show evidence of starting at least 3 design solutions for your project.
o Plans (autocad?)
o Elevations (sketchup?)
o Location of beams and columns at every level
Part 3
- Working to the ‘extended brief' listing exactly what facilities the client will
get in your Group's design, show at least 3 design solutions for your project. Each design should include AS A MINIMUM:
o Plans (autocad?)
- In general, a plan at every level is required, but full use can be made of similarity between floors.
o Elevations (sketchup?)
- What does it look like?
o Location of beams and columns at every level.
- The column location in particular is very important in relation to rooms etc. (e.g. avoid a column in the middle of a room if possible)
- All designs, of course, should consider:
o Health & Safety
o Sustainability
o Buildability
o Cost
At this stage, the solutions can be hand drawn, but will need to be ‘computerised' in the next week or two.
Part 4
- Working to the ‘extended brief' listing exactly what facilities the client will
get in your Group's design, show at least 3 design solutions for your project. Each design should include AS A MINIMUM:
o Plans (autocad?)
- In general, a plan at every level is required, but full use can be made of similarity between floors.
o Elevations (sketchup?)
- What does it look like?
o Location of beams and columns at every level.
- The column location in particular is very important in relation to rooms etc. (e.g. avoid a column in the middle of a room if possible)
- All designs, of course, should consider:
o Health & Safety
o Sustainability
o Buildability
o Cost
At this stage, the solutions can be hand drawn, but will need to be ‘computerised' in the next week or two.
Part 5
- Working to the ‘extended brief' listing exactly what facilities the client will get in your Group's design, show at least 3 design solutions for your project. Each design should include AS A MINIMUM:
o Plans (autocad?)
- In general, a plan at every level is required, but full use can be made of similarity between floors.
o Elevations (sketchup?)
- What does it look like?
o Location of beams and columns at every level.
- The column location in particular is very important in relation to rooms etc. (e.g. avoid a column in the middle of a room if possible)
By now the options should be final and ready for insertion into your Group submission (same font, figure and page numbers correct etc.)
Part 6
- Working to the ‘extended brief' listing exactly what facilities the client will get in your Group's design, from your 3 design solutions select one, giving reasons. For that one solution:
o Provide Structural Plans (autocad?)
- In general, a plan at every level is required, but full use can be made of similarity between floors.
- All beams and columns should be shown, with sizes.
- Some calculations will be required in order to produce the structural plans, but they are NOT to be submitted.
By now the options part of the report should be complete and final, ready for insertion into your Group submission (same font, figure and page numbers correct etc.). I would also expect it to contain an introduction and any particular aspects of Health & Safety, Sustainability, Buildability and Cost that you feel relevant.
Part 7
Structural Plans (autocad?) should be complete. They should include:
- In general, a plan at every level is required, but full use can be made of similarity between floors.
- All beams and columns should be shown, with sizes.
- Some calculations will be required in order to produce the structural plans, but they are NOT to be submitted.
Part 8
- Identify who is producing the wind loading calculations.
- Identify who is producing the dead and live load calculations.
- Identify which beams, columns and slabs are being design and by whom.
Part 9
Detailed "Site Investigation Proposal" must be prepared for the site on which you are delivering your IDE project. Site background information including preliminary investigation results including, location details, potential contamination and environmental issues, desk study results looking into soil structure, layers, etc. based on information sources i.e. previous site investigation reports, local authorities, BGS website/borehole information must be detailed.
The "proposal" must include aims and objectives, a summary of the information to be collected as a result of the proposed investigation along with suitable
justification of "why" the information is required. Suggestions of suitable sampling methods, suitable tests and data analysis, preliminary loading calculations from the building (your IDE project building) on the columns and foundations and stress analysis to find the depth to which the ground investigation must be done, discussion and conclusions, and references must also be included.
Part 10
Soil Mechanics laboratory report must be prepared. The report must be a group report and must have standard structure with required sections including, introduction, aims and objectives, equipment, testing procedure, test results, results analysis and discussions, conclusions and references.
A page titled "Group members and contributions" must be added to the report at the end clearly listing the members of the group detailing the roles each member has played in preparing the report.
Part 11
The "Settlements Analysis" submission must include:
Introduction, aims and objectives, Identification of the required parameters to analyse the settlements from previously available information from SI (if no data is available based on the site investigation data, make informed assumptions). All assumed parameters must be clearly presented with suitable justification for any parameter value assumed.
Immediate, consolidation and total settlement calculation / analysis for the IDE project building(s) based on the foundation type (flexible/rigid)
Settlements calculation results analysis and comparison against allowable values from British Standard / Eurocode codes of practice
Part 12
- Provide evidence that your group has started the work on water demand estimation for the type of project you have selected.
o Look for available BS codes on the methodology to be adopted in estimating water demand.
o Find out various components of water demand and collect information on how to estimate them.
Part 13
- Continuing from previous weeks' work, provide detailed methods for estimating water demand under the following scenarios.
o Residential Water demand and its estimation using BS codes.
o What other methods available in the literature for estimating residential water demand.
Part 14
- In addition to residential water demand, what other components need to be estimated (identified in weeks 2-3).
- What methods are available to estimate the above components
- How does the water demand vary based on time of day and season of the year?
- What factors influence the seasonal variation of water demand?
Part 15
- What are fire-flow requirements?
- What factors determine fire-flow requirements?
- Methods available for estimating fire-flow requirements (BS codes, fire-service regulations, any other sources?)
- What pressures needs to be maintained while supplying fire-flows?
Part 16
- How does population growth/decline influence the water demand?
- What are the various methods available for estimating population growth?
Part 17
- What is the theoretical model used in EPANET to analyse a pipe network (refer EPANET manuel)
Part 18
- Prepare a report on EPANET including theory, analysis and discussion parts and submit the final report.
