Superstructure frame - material selection for load bearing frame
(advantages & disadvantages of each type with images - select 1 type as
your preferred option for the proposal & why?)
Steel
Precast concrete
Insitu reinforced concrete
Laminated timber (MMC's - modern methods of construction)
Civil Engineering Challenges - substructure/foundation/basement
Foundation design (briefly described pad, raft, pile {displacement &
replacement type} & pile caps)
Site remediation (briefly describe processes for contaminated
ground - physical (soil washing or protective barrier), bioremediation &
chemical remediation
Basement dewatering & construction method (common pumping
methods {well or sump & pump} would not be sufficient to maintain
removing seeping water back into the river therefore a combined
design must be used - research, using images, sheet steel piling;
diaphragm walling & secant walling - determine your selected choice
{including sketch/image design} & why?
Basement tanking/waterproofing (waterproof additive into insitu
concrete; waterproof tanking & drained basement - briefly describe
each & select option)
Superstructure
Floor type (briefly describe 3 types & select 1 for your option & why?
Roof type (same as floor, but required protection from weather &
consider green roof?)
Envelope (curtain walling/infill panels)
stairs
Doors
