Applying engineering principles

1. Apply engineering principles to realistic cases of sufficient complexity to require judgement in
   the selection of and application of appropriate design principles and material use.
2. In response to a relevant engineering problem, carry out calculations that lead to a design
   solution.
3. Present relevant information, calculations and sketches in a clear and unambiguous way.
   Assignment Objective
   This assignment is concentrated to provide the adequate ability to analyze and designing simple
   structures in civil engineering work. Students are exposed to the concepts, principles tools, and
   techniques of analysis and design of the structure. This also provides an opportunity for the
   students to obtain a solid understanding of structural stability and behavior under different
   loading conditions. This will assist Civil Engineering students to carry out more accurate analysis
   and efficient design in construction work.
4. Introduction- write the suitable introduction. [5 marks]
5. Make suitable analysis of the bay in order to calculate the load on slab, beams and then
   on columns. [15 marls]
6. Design the slab as it is one-way. [15 marks]
7. Make suitable calculations for reinforcement (bending + shear) for any one single beam
   for limit state of strength following Eurocode 2. [15 marks]
8. Make suitable calculations for reinforcement (main reinforcement + Shear links) for any
   one single column for limit state of strength following Eurocode 2. [15 marks]
9. Provide suitable drawings wherever necessary. [5 marks]
10. Discussions: – make suitable discussion about your design [10 marks]
11. Conclusions – make conclusions of your design exercise. [10 marks]
12. References & citations- provide minimum 5 references [5 marks]

    Student Individual Data & design procedure:
    Student individual data is provided in the attached excel sheet. The design for beam section can be started
    by assuming 250 mmx 350 mm and column section, say, 350 mmx 350 mm and then the required
    reinforcement can be calculated. If the assume section dimensions are not appropriate, change it and
    achieve the best cost-effective design.
    Rules & Regulations:
    • All resources should be cited using CU Harvard style.
    • The final assignment must have a Title page, Table of Contents, References/ bibliography using
    CU Harvard Style and page numbers.
    • Title Page must have Assignment Name, Module name, Session, your name, ID, and the name of
    the faculty.
    • Softcopy in word format is to be submitted through Turnitin link on Moodle.
    • Viva will be conducted after the assignment submission as per the dates informed earlier.
    Guidelines:
    • Assignment must be computer typed.
    ➢ Font - Times New Roman
    ➢ Font – Style - Regular
