STRUCTURES
Reflection
Every time after lectures, Ir. Chai will let us do tutorial
on the particular topics that he explains on the lecture session. He always
guide us during tutorial session and let us do a lot of tutorial on topics such
as Forces and Equilibrium, Shear Force and Bending moment, method of section,
method of joint. By doing so, we are able to understand more about the elements
of the building and how to calculate the load distribution over the joint and
member. He always reminds us that this subject is to give us a simple idea on
how the structures were designed by the engineer and what is the factors they
consider in order to make the elements work well. So that when we are working
in the industry in future, we will roughly understand what the engineer are expressing
during the meetings.
Individual Assignment
We were given an individual assignment to form a shear force
diagram and bending moment diagram based on a drawing. This assignment gave us
a basic concept on structures in Construction Technology. We are able to see
how the force distribute in different way and directions with different loading.
We also learned to determine the force working on beams.
