ISC FA$-$Asg Brief $03($Apr $2024$ ver$)...$

Done

This assignment is an individual assignment, AND IS A HURDLE, meaning all components of this assignment MUST be presented and submitted on$-$time, failing which, the implication is similar to that of failing to sit for a Final Examination.

Part A: REPORT $($on Construction Method Research, Brief Design Information of Project Method & Sequence of Construction of Model & Others$)$

You are to design a small one$-$roomed house that includes the usage of RC$,$ steel and wood as its structural components.

You need to include a Pitched Roof Truss and incorporate a transparent roofing covering such as glass or polycarbonate roofing

You are NOT required to cover up all the walls but it is compulsory to cover at least ONE $(1)$ wall made out of bricks. Include within that wall a fully constructed door and a window $($minimum requirement$).$ Remember you have to apply your understanding of the parts that hold up a door and simulate the necessary details in your door and window.

Examples include: RC slab, with brick walls and roof truss made of wood, awning made of cantilevered steel, steel beams$/$columns etc.

You are to start your design process through drawings. Dimensions of the room shall be based on reallife typical proportions $($width$,$ length, height shall be shown in meters$).$

Your design process and the general usage of the house shall be described briefly in the form of a report. A simple plan with dimensions stated, within the report, shall be included to indicate the overall space designed. You also need to include perspective view or elevation view of your designed house, with clear labels indicating the size, material and other details of the structural $($eg: RHS Steel beam, RC Slab$)$ and non$-$structural members $($eg: plastic door$)$ to be constructed.

Your report shall contain captioned photos$/$illustrations of both the actual construction process $($how it is done in real$-$life on site$)$ and a comparative explanation of how you simulated as closely as possible using alternative materials.

Also, your report shall include other pertinent information such as:

Overall description of design and features$/$function of elements $($of your designed house$).$

Plan $($to scale, in AutoCAD$)$ of dimensions of house and another perspective view of the house with annotation of the different structural components and the materials used

Corresponding description of material used and name of component eg: beam, column, awning, bridge, deck, truss etc.

Scale used in model $($show calculations$)$

How they are jointed $($may include sketches of joint details$)$ Example: How beam is joined to column or how wood truss is jointed to concrete beam etc.

Construction sequence of part$/$component $($real$-$life vs model simulation$)$ as detailed in above paragraph.

Minimum FIVE $(5)$ captioned photos of completed model, with annotation where appropriate.

Part B: REALISTIC SCALE MODEL $($using closely simulated ACTUAL materials and scaled dimensions$)$

Using the knowledge gained from lectures and by watching other construction$/$installation videos of building with the different materials, select appropriate materials to simulate the construction process of your model. In the process of building the scale model, remember to:

$2$

Take enough photographs of the gradual process $-$ include these with captions and short paragraph descriptions, describing the materials they are simulating, the tools and details of joints $($eg: welding$/$bolting for steel beams to columns, starter bars for RC$,$ grooves$/$nails for wood etc$)$ and the construction sequence. This is to ensure your Report component is completed well.

Before you start, remember to calculate and convert the dimensions stated on your drawing plan to the model. The model created shall be between ${10}^{\text{'}\text{'}}{10}^{\text{'}\text{'}}$ and ${12}^{\text{'}\text{'}}{12}^{\text{'}\text{'}}$ or $100$ to $144$ square inches in area. Your model$/$room can be any shape $($example: square, rectangle, Lshaped, circular etc$)$

Deliverables:

Scale Model of House $(10\%)-$ with presentation showing fully finished model and a $5-10$ minute individual physical presentation $(10\%)$

The model created shall be between ${10}^{\text{'}\text{'}}{10}^{\text{'}\text{'}}$ and ${12}^{\text{'}\text{'}}{12}^{\text{'}\text{'}}$ or $100$ to $144$ square inches in area. All materials used in the model shall be close replicas of the actual materials and properties.

Example: You may use metal chicken wire mesh to simulate reinforcement bar. And modelling clay$/$paper clay to model the concrete. Do the calculations part for me $,$ the small house is $24$cm $,16$cm abd $16$cm Scale model $1\mathrm{.}14$
