Task Instructions
Summary and Purpose of Assessment
This project will introduce you to the aspects of load calculations required for the
structural design process of a building.
 Estimation of the dead load and imposed load of the given plan
 Estimation of the wind load of the building you are residing
 Estimation of the strength of the welded and bolt joint
As part of a project team you have been engaged to find the design load for a single
storey hospital building. Your design team will be in groups of 5.
Assessment Instructions

What and where

1. Project needs to be completed as a group of 5 students.

2. Single report will be presented by each group on the canvas before Week 13,
13 OCT 2019
3. This is a group task; however, you are required to get information, feedback
and ideas from your assessor and work colleagues to help complete the tools
4. You must submit all documents listed in the instructions and marking criteria.
5. Your assessor will assess the documentation you provide.

How
1. The final typed report need to be submitted on the Canvas under Assignment-
Project before 13 OCT 2019.

2. All documents must meet the criteria to the standard described in the marking
guide in Section B to be deemed satisfactory in this assessment.

Conditions for assessment

1. Students found in breach of test conditions can be charged with academic
misconduct, have their results cancelled, be excluded from the program and
receive other penalties. Penalties can also apply if a student’s test material is
copied by others.
2. Plagiarism is the presentation of the work, idea or creation of another person as
though it is one’s own. It is a form of cheating and is a very serious academic
offence that may lead to expulsion from the University. Plagiarised material can
be drawn from, and presented in, written, graphic and visual form, including
electronic data, and oral presentations. Plagiarism occurs when the origin of the
material used is not appropriately cited.
3. RMIT special consideration is to enable you to maintain your academic progress
despite adverse circumstances. The process for special consideration can be
found at http://www.rmit.edu.au/students/specialconsideration/online
4. Students with a disability or long-term medical or mental health condition can
apply for adjustments to their study and assessment conditions (Reasonable
Adjustments and Equitable Assessment Arrangements) by registering with the
Disability Liaison Unit (DLU) at http://www1.rmit.edu.au/browse;ID=01daxmpd1vo4z
If you already registered with DLU and your study plan is approved, please
inform your teacher if this assessment task is not adjusted in line with approved
study plan.

Additional Instructions to Students:

Performance requirement:

3. For Satisfactory (S) performance must submit the report meet the criteria to
the standard described in the marking guide in Section B to be deemed
satisfactory in this assessment.
a. Grades from this assessment will count towards the final grade only if
the result is satisfactory (S)

Instructions on submitting your project/portfolio/report

Project details

As part of a project team you have been engaged to find the design load of a single
storey hospital building. The specifications of the building are as follows:
1) Refer to the reinforced concrete floor framing layout of a hospital shown in
Figure 1, 2 and 3:
a. Assume the length of the beam and span of the slab.
b. Assume size of the slab from 100 mm to 200 mm.
c. Assume size of the beam width from 200 mm to 300 mm and depth
from 300 mm to 500 mm including the slab thickness.
d. Assume the size of square column equal to the width of beam width
and height of column from 3 m to 5 m.
e. Take reinforcement for slab, beam and column 1% , 1.5 % and 3%
steel respectively .
f. Draw the load distribution path from slab to beam
g. Calculate the design permanent load on column C1 and C2.
h. Calculate the design-imposed load on column C1 and C2.
i. Calculate the design limit state load (strength) on column C1 and C2.
2) Estimate the design wind speed for the 4-orthogonal direction for your house
you are living in using AS1170.2
3) Identify any bolt and weld connection and find the efficiency of the bolt
connection and the strength of the weld joint using AS 4100.
