SDCM71-316 Structures and Soil Mechanics
Project 1
PROJECT
This project is aimed at getting you to better understand and interpret structures in the built-environment. This
project will require you to consider the following small structure
Mudgee Tower ‘Permanent Camping’, New South Wales, Australia
(Architecture: Casey Brown Architecture, Engineering: Murtagh Bond)
PROJECT TASKS
The project tasks are as follows:
1. Annotate diagrams of the structure to identify all permanent (dead) loads and all anticipated types of
live loads. [2 marks]
2. Describe the principal structural system (i.e. load-bearing form) adopted for the structure. Discuss why
this system may have been chosen and the individual members that form this system. [4 marks]
3. Describe the site/location factors that would influence the assessment of wind forces on the structure.
[3 marks]
4. Annotate diagrams of the structure to demonstrate the stability/bracing system (for both orthogonal
directions). [3 marks]
5. Discuss material issues that would need to managed to ensure longevity of the structure. [2 marks]
6. Choose a structural member that is subject to bending action – indicate locations of maximum
compression and tension given the shape of the member. Also indicate how lateral torsional buckling is
controlled for the member. [3 marks]
7. Examine a critical connection detail, describing the complete force transfer through the joint. Adopt the
use of a ‘free-body’ diagram to present the response. [4 marks]
8. Sketch the type of footing system that would most likely have been adopted to support the structure at
ground level. [2 marks]
9. Comment on any serviceability (e.g. deflection) criteria that would need to be satisfied for the structure.
[2 marks]
There is a limit of 700 words.
Concise ‘dot-point’ style responses to the project tasks must be adopted.
The use of photos, sketches and diagrams must also be used as a means of responding to the project tasks.
DELIVERABLES and DEADLINES
Due Date – Tuesday 11th October at 4pm
This project is an individual submission
Method of delivery – A4 hardcopy to the Sustainable Development Building
Please note that you will need to submit the assignment with a copy of the Faculty assignment cover sheet.
ASSESSMENT
This project is weighted at 25% of the overall course mark.
