Construction Technology 2
Introduction
Construction Technology 2 is to enable the students to know about the development and establishment of a base knowledge of the fundamental principles of design and technology. Such base knowledge will enable students to appreciate the decisions made on design, functional element, selection and the rational and economic use of resources. It also explains the fundamentals of piled foundations, deep excavation, formworks, scaffoldings, shoring and underpinning, partition and suspended ceilings, portal frames, precast concrete and steel roof trusses.In this subject it also provide an overview of the concept and knowledge on the actual construction practices at the site. It help us to develop the ability to apply the complete constructional procedures of the various types of building. and also develop the ability to apply the health and safety measure necessary for the construction industry.
Construction Technology 2 generally covers the topic as stated below:
(a) Basic Drawing
(b) Basement Excavation and construction
(c) Soldier Piles & Lagging
(d) Contiguous and Secant Piles Support
(e) Diaphgram Wall Support
(f) Pile Foundation
(g) Continuous Flight Auger Piles
(h) Precast Concrete piles
(i) Pile Cap Construction
(j) Pretension Spun Piles
(k) Shoring
(l) Portal Frame
(m) Scaffolding
(n) Pre-Cast Concrete
(o) Steel Building

INDIVIDUAL ASSIGNMENT
However, for the individual assignment we are required to sketch 20 drawings that are given by our lecturer. The objective of asking us to sketch is because we get to understand the elements of a construction by sketching and labeling them.These drawings are also included in our lecture notes. During lecture time, lecturer will taught us about the drawings and explained more to us. I understand more after i sketch the drawings for this assignment. Below is the drawing that've been drawn by me.
GROUP ASSIGNMENT
For the group assignment, it allow us to choose between to ways in presenting a construction process based on the module. One way is by a detailed and well-researched report while the other way is to present through a video of a minimum 20 minutes. Both ways requires a group of 4-5 members to work together to finish the assignment. This project will also allow us to fully understand a construction process and also precaution that must be taken at the site to protect our safely while thoroughly researching on the very subject. It would also help students enhance skills on presenting research, either on a report or as a video. The topic that we had chosen is basically work below lowest floor finish which include excavation, piling works and etc. With the good teamwork between our group members, we are able to finish this project on time without any arguement.
