ASSIGNMENT PROJECT

Total marks $=100$

Units $1-5$: Design of Structures II

Weight: $,70\%$ of $C{M}_3($As per Learner$/$Programme Guide$)$

Criteria: GA$1$: Problem Solving: Apply engineering principles to systematically

diagnose and solve well$-$defined engineering problems.

Due date: $13$ September $2024$

Problems$/$Questions:

An architect produced drawings of a duplex building shown in Annexure A$.$ Design the $1^{st}$

floor slab from Grid $3$ to Grid $6$ and beams $4$ and $5$ on Grid $4$ and Grid $5$ completely. Use the

dimensions as indicated on the architectural drawings.

Use grade $\frac{30}{19}mm$ concrete for all designs.

Select your own exposure conditions and assume a $3-$hour fire resistance requirement.

Assume the service stress in the reinforcement to be $200$ MPa and the value of $"E"$ for

concrete to be taken as $18000\frac{N}{m}{m}^2$ for deflection calculations.

The construction materials to be used must be selected from the applicable SANS codes.

Calculate the total load of the brick walls and convert that load to an area load for your

analysis.

Use $30$ mm screed for your floor finish and make valid assumptions for all information not

given. Clearly state all assumptions.

Your design must include the design sheets provided, your hand and EXCEL design

calculations $($your sheets and calculations must be neatly typed and not scanned$).$

You can copy your beam and slab design sheets to use for the design of multiple beams.

Produce complete bending schedules of your designs.

Compile all your information, design sheets, calculations and bending schedules into one $.$pdf

document to submit online.

The name convention of your $.$pdf document should be

$"[$YOUR$\_$STUDENT$\_$NOL$\_$CDS$22$A$\_$Project".

Submit your final design on ethuto as a single pdf file.

Assessoris Signature

Grading System applicable to Assessment Rubric $($included at end$)$:

A minimum score of $2\mathrm{.}5(50\%)$ needs to be obtained for each Competency

Indicator$/$Associated Assessment Criteria $($AAC$)$ associated with the GA assessments. The

same grading system scores also apply to the General and Knowledge Area $($KA$)$

assessments. The following scores apply:

$5-$ The student clearly understands how to meet the competency indicator. Minor

mistakes and careless errors can appear insofar, as they do not indicate a conceptual

misunderstanding

$4-$ The student understands the main concepts of the competency indicator, but has

some minor, yet non$-$trivial gaps in the reasoning.

$3-$ The student understands the competency indicator and was able to fulfil the

requirements to pass the competency indicator.

$2-$ The student has a poor understanding of the competency indicator. The student

may have gone in a not$-$entirely$-$wrong, but unproductive direction, or attempted to

solve the problem using pattern matching or by rote.

$1-$ The student did not understand the competency indicator. The student may have

presented some appropriate information, but nothing further, or the student may have

done something entirely wrong.

$0-$ The student provided nothing or almost nothing regarding the competency

indicator.
