CONSTRUCTION AND TECHNOLOGY
ASSIGNMENT 2 : SITE STUDY
IN THIS ASSESSMENT, WE NEED TO IDENTIFY THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF BUILDING ELEMENTS AND ITS CONSTRUCTION PROCESS, DETAILS AS WELL AS MATERIALS. IN A GROUP OF 4, OUR CHOSEN SITE IS A SEMI-D TERRACE HOUSE WHICH IS LOCATED AT 1, PULAI HEIGHTS 7, PULAI HEIGHTS, IPOH PERAK. THIS HOUSE IS SURROUNDED WITH GUARDED COMMUNITY, STRATEGIC LOCATION, 5 MINS TO SIMPANG PULAI TOLL, 2 MINS TO SHEN JAI CHINESE SCHOOL AND FAIRVIEW INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL WHICH IS REALLY SUITABLE FOR FAMILY.
FOUNDATION
A FOUNDATION IS FOREVER. FIRST OF FORE, FOUNDATION IS ACTUALLY THE LOWEST PART OF THE BUILDING OR THR OTHER CONSTRUCTION, PARTLY OR WHOLLY BELOW THE SURFAFE OF THE GROUND, IT IS DESIGNED TO SUPPORT AND SECURE THE SUPERSTRUCTURE AND TRANSMIT ITS WEIGHTS DIRECTLY TO THE EARTH.
THERE ARE FEW FACTORS THAT WE NEED TO CONSIDER WHEN CHOOSING A FOUNDATION.
1) LOAD OF THE BUILDING
2) GROUND CONDITIONS
3) TYPES OF SOIL
4) TYPES OF THE STRUCTURE IN NEIGHBOURHOOD
TYPES OF FOUNDATION
SHALLOW FOUNDATION
RAFT FOUNDATION
STRIP FOUNDATION
PAD FOUNDATION
DEEP FOUNDATION
PILE FOUNDATION
PRECAST CONCRETE PILE
THE SITE WE WENT TO IS USING PILE FOUNDATION WHICH IS PRECAST CONCRETE PILE. BECAUSE THE SOIL IS QUITE WEAK WHICH MIGHT NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO WITHSTAND A 2 STOREY TERRACE HOUSE. WHEREAS BY USING PRECAST CONCRETE PILE CAN CUT OUR COST, QUALITY CAN BE CONTROLLED AND MONITORED MUCH MORE EASILY,LESS LABOR IS REQUIRED AND OUR PROJECT WILL BE DONE ON TIME.

REFLECTION
BEFORE DOING THIS ASSIGNMENT, I NEVER KNEW THAT CONSTRUCTING A BUILDING CAN BE SO MUCH INTERESTING AND COMPLICATED ALTHOUGH I AM STILL BLUR WITH SOME OF THE PART. DURING THIS ASSIGNMENT, I SEE THAT THIS SITE CONSIST OF DIFFERENT STAGES OF CONSTRUCTION PROCESS REQUIRED US TO LEARN THE PROCEDURES OF CONSTRUCTION PROCESS. THROUGH THIS REAL LIFE EXPERIENCE, WE GET TO UNDERSTAND THE COORDINATION OF CONSTRUCTION AT SITE AND THE METHODS OF HOW IT RESPOND TO THE SITE CONTEXT. WE RECORD THE DIFFERENT BUILDING ELEMENTS OF CONSTRUCTION AND THROUGH DRAWING AND SKETCHING THE PROCESS MANUALLY, IT HELPS US TO IMPROVE OUR KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING TOWARDS THE DETAILS OF THE PROCESS.
