ROOF TRUSS
PROJECT 1
Truss is a structure built up of three or more members which are normally considered being pinned and hinged at the joints. The following figure shows different types of trusses, perfect and redundant. Load applied to the truss is transmitted to joint so that each individual members are in either pure tension or compression.
In a group of 5 members, select the design of one of the members in studio 3. Working in a group, you are required to re-design the roof of that building by using truss designs. By using any material of your choice, construct the model of your design. The size of the model must be appropriate to fit well on an A2 baord.
Submission requirements:
1.A roof truss model (to be elevated 5cm from the board)
2.An A2 sized board which consist of the following elements, - Brief description of your building and roof design - Design of your roof truss (plans, perspective drawing, cross section, or any relevant diagrams) - Reflected ceiling plan to indicate the load imposed - Connection details of the truss
3.An A4 report - Compilation of task 1 exercise.
PROJECT 2
STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS of a BUNGALOW
Roof truss structural analysis report
This project is an integrated component where it involves structural theory, force calculation and basic structural proposal. This project is designed to allow the demonstration of knowledge and understanding of building structure. The objectives of this projects are to introduce the basic process of building structures design process to the students and also to enable the students to have a holistic experience including Concept and Structure Layout Design, Building Structure Engineering Considerations, Structure Members Sizing and Calculations, Final Report and Presentation.
An A4 Report which consist of the following,
-Cover page - Name and student ID of all group members
-Brief description of the bungalow
-All floor plans (ground floor, first floor and roof plan)
** Section, elevation and perspective drawing will be optional
-Structural plans which inclusive of foundation plan, ground floor plan, first floor plan and roof plan.
**Structural plans are plan which only shows structural component of a building, typically consists of beams, columns, slab and staircase.
-Design brief which summarize the weight of material and live load assumed
-Beam analysis report which consists of: (a separator to separate the report done by different student)
a) Load distribution plans for beam design
**indicate live load assumed for each room on floor plans
**live load for roof is taken as 0.5kN/m2 and 1.0kN/m2 as dead load
b)Load Diagram
c)Bending moment diagram
d)Shear force diagrams
-Column analysis report which consists of: (a separator to separate the report done by different student)
a)Load distribution plans for column design
b)Estimation of column load
c)Suggested column size
