Construction Technology 3

This module progresses through the stages of dewatering in basement excavation where water table is high above the basement floor level; various types of retaining walls, drainage, roadwork, common industrialized building systems, curtain walls for multi-storey commercial buildings, façade system, prestressing involving pretension andpost-tension method, bridgeconstruction, tensionmembrane roofandsteelrooftrusses.

Assignment 1
This assignment is to develop the ability to apply the complete constructional procedures of the various types of building with suitable materials and design. Then, this assignment also can illustrate each stage of the building and design process, with carefully labelled with the relevant technical terms. This assignment contained 10 marks

Assignment 2

This assignment stands 20% of the total assessment.  The group assignment is to produce a video project which proves a degree of accomplishment  in each of the requirements identified in the detailed criteria and guidance.

The components are the introduction is motivating, and hooks the viewer from the beginning.

Text on project title, name of the five members and location.Camera set-ups eg hand-held, tripod

Camera movements. Avoid Zooming In and Out Too Much. A variety of transitions are used to assist in communicating the main idea. Subject knowledge is evident throughout the video.All information is clear, appropriate and correct. The text and audio have no grammar or spelling errors.Tape is edited.  Video runs smoothly from shot to shot. Be presented and given a context by a presenter, or will it need to standalone.

Students will normally work in small project groups of 5 members and each group must ensure that all members are involved in all aspects of the production. The video project is based on any of the construction process that lasts around 20 minutes. Plenty of light will make an incredible difference in the quality of the video footage that you shoot. Shooting outside will give you the best results, but if you’re shooting inside, try to turn on as many lights as possible, and bring them close to your video subject.

Learning Outcome
1. Illustrate most aspects of elementary construction with an insight into the techniques applied in largescale
development using standard steel sections and reinforced concrete.
2. Apply the methods, materials, equipment and systems used for the construction of tall buildings.
3. Apply industrial methods which are mainly composed of factory produced components to a module or
standard increment.
