A: No, this project is about comparing the current design method and discuss different solution
to design working platform.
Q: Which part should I focus on?
A: Properties and strength of soil, characteristics of equipment, study the load associated on
working platform and finally collect and compare current design.
Action:
-Literature review on soil mechanics, journals and papers of temporary working platform.
Start with the material provided and search for more information.
-Think of own ideas into the project
