     Project 2: Understanding Forces in Skeletal Structure, Solid Structure and Surface Structure

This project allowed us, a group of five to do research and analyse a building which have either two types of building structures: skeletal, solid and surface structure. We are required to make a model in order to show the structures used of the chosen building and document a report of understanding the load and forces of the particular structures.

Learning Outcome

     Throughout this project, I have an understanding of skeletal structure and surface structure and the differences of these structures construction systems in terms of loads and forces acting on structural elements. I have learned to analyse issues of strength, stiffness and stability of structures including modes of structural systems, forces, stress and strain and laws of static by the research did by us. Next, I have also learned to recognize and apply the implications of construction system in design. Besides, I am very appreciate to work with such dedicated group members.
