Project 1: Fettuccine Truss Bridge
The objectives of this project are as follows
- To develop the understanding of tension and compressive strength of construction materials
- To develop the understanding of force distribution in a truss
- To design a perfect truss bridge which fulfils the following criterias:
o High level of aesthetic value
o Minimal construction material
Task 1: Truss Analysis
I am in charge of Case 5.
This is my Case 5 Truss Analysis.

Project 2: Extension of a R.C. bungalow
The project is an integrated component where it involves structural theory, force calculation and basic structural proposal. This project is designed to allow the demonstration of knowledge and understanding of building structure.
The objectives of this project are as follows:
- To introduce the basic process of building structures design process to the students.
- To enable the students to have a holistic experience including Concept and Structure Layout Design, Building Structure Engineering Considerations, Structure Members Sizing and Calculations, Final Report and Presentation.
Part 1 – Group components
Working in a group of 7 members, each group is to obtain floor plan of a maximum 3 storeys bungalow, preferably 2 storeys. We are required to carry out structural framing and prepare structural drawings for the bungalow. Structural plans should include foundation plan, ground floor plan, first floor plan and roof plan.
Part 2 – Individual components, working in a sub group of 3 members
1. Propose an extension work to the bungalow that meet the following criteria,
a. The area of extension should not exceed 30% of the existing floor area (max 100m2 each floor)
b. The extension should be sideway.
c. The extension should be of two storeys (foundation plan, ground and first floor plan and roof
plan).
2. Frame the extension by using appropriate structural members i.e. columns, beams, slabs, or trusses.
3. Identify and quantify the load acting on the structure.
4. Each member is required to:
a. analysis minimum 6 beams (each beam must subject to different types of load, i.e. UDL
from one or more than one slabs, beam with point load(s) or combination of UDL and PL)
b. analysis minimum 4 columns (from roof to foundation level)
