What are the duty of engineers in constructing buildings? |
Engineers concentrate on the technical engineering and mathematical soloutions and their maintenance. |
|
|
What are the duty of Architects and Construction managers when constructing buildings? |
Architects- Responsible for the functional, creative and conceptual design of the structure.
Construction Manager- Work with both architects to ensure that the structure is built correctly, safely and to budget. |
|
|
What does the golden triangle properties entitled? |
The four properties of the golden triangle include 1) Time 2) Cost 3) Buildability 4) Quality |
|
|
What does the building cost of Australia properties entitled? |
The BCA provides nationally consistent, minimum technical standards for the design and construction of buildings in Australia. |
|
|
What is the design philosophy equation? |
Factor of Safety
= Load to cause Failure ___________________________________________
Actual load on structure |
|
|
Describe the properties of an allowed stress design. |
The properties ensures that the working life of structure does not exceed a safe value which is always less than the strength of the material. |
|
|
Describe the properties of a limit state design. |
The properties are - Based on guard against reaching the ultimate limit state or collapse. |
|
|
How is the basic dead load calculated? |
Volume of member x unit weight of materials. |
|
|
How is load transferred with the following components? Roof Wall Floor Footing Foundation |
Roof- Down walls to foundation Wall- Wall load down to foundation Floor- Floor load moves down to footings then to foundation. Footing- Footing load flows down to Foundation. Foundation- The foundation supports the footings. |
|
|
What is the Compression equation? |
= Applied load +Weight of object ___________________________________________
Cross sectional Area
|
|
|
What is the Tension? |
The state of being stretched tight |
|
|
What is Shear force? |
Shear force is the internal force which resists the applied loading by a combination of internal transverse shear forces and bending moments. |
|
|
What are bending moments? |
The bending of material is dependent on the load bearing on the object.
The value of bending moment at any point in a beam is equal to the sum of all bending moments to the left of the point. |
