Constructing Environments Activity_Structural Concept 1_Descripition/classification of structural system a) Foundations & Footing Concrete footing and foundation b) Primary structure(Horizontal and vertical) Beam, column, bearer c) Secondary structure(Horizontal and vertical) Joints, slabs 2_Graphic structural Diagrams (structural systems to be clearly shown) a) Foundations & Footing
Scale 1:100 b) Primary structure(Horizontal and vertical)
Column Scale 1:100
Beam
Scale: 1:20
c) Secondary structure horizontal and vertical Slab: 1:20

Scale 1:5
3_Identification, description and location of structural materials a) b) c) d) e) 4_Identify 3 structural Joints(use tracing paper to sketch from the construction drawings) a) Caulked Joint
b) Silicone Butt Joint
c) Glazing Butt Joint
5_Identify and explain the use of different structural fixings(weld, concrete, bolt, screw, nail) a) Weld, (e.g. 40x40 HD GALV steel angle welded to beam paint finish b) Concrete: Concrete wall/ slab (Concrete is a composite material composed of coarse granular
material (the aggregate or filler) embedded in a hard matrix of material (the cement or binder) that fills the space among the aggregate particles and glues them together. c) Bolt :( e.g. 150 PFC Paint finish, Bolt fixing to steel column beyond. Recessed head SS Bolt Fixing to Angle Frame, Bolt connection with separator) d) Screw: (e.g. 50mm DIAM, SSS Patch fixing with C’ Suk screw and chest fixing e) Nail: In woodworking and construction, a nail is a pin-shaped, object of metal(or wood called a treenail) used as a fattener, peg to hang something, or sometimes a decoration. 6_Sustainability and environmental analysis a) Carbon footprint: The total amount of greenhouse gases emitted directly and indirectly to support human activities, usually expressed in equivalent tons of either carbon or carbon dioxide. Carbon footprints are calculated by countries as part of their reporting requirements, as well as by companies, regions, or individuals.(Cereplast, 2013) b) Embodied energy: Embodied energy is the energy consumed by all of the processes associated with the production of a product. c) Recyclability: Ability of a material to be captured and separated from a waste stream for conversion or reuse. 7_Economical implications of decisions: The impact of depression on social economic decision making.
