Structures

Reflective Journal
Structures is a module that provides a basic understanding of the basic concept of structures taken in construction technology. This can help us in the communication with engineers and understanding the structural design of the building in order to increase cost effective of a project.  However, the structure of building also needs achieve a certain level of aesthetic, safety and fulfil the purposes of the building when changing the structure of the building to reduce cost.

A individual assignment also was given which needs to calculate the shear force and bending moment of a beams to identify the size and materials should be used for that beams. This assignment can help us to apply the theories and calculation in the actual drawing in the future. We also can identify the problems encountered in the building through the structure principles. This module provides us the ability to interpret the application of total integration of structural functions and actions with the overall design objectives.
