BFC43303: INTEGRATED DESIGN PROJECT

SEMESTER 1 SESSION 2023/2024

STRUCTURAL DESIGN CHECK LIST

1) Provide structural layout plan based on architectural drawing obtained.

Item Action (√) or (X)
1 Clearly understand the drawing and detailing provided by the
architect.
2 Provide structural layout plans that meet the standards of practice by
industry/engineering consultants.
3 The grid marks arrangement follows as proposed by the architect.
4 The grid marks not overlapping with each other on the structure layout
plan.
5 Providing a cut section for the purpose of detailing slab reinforcement.
6 Provide appropriate beam arrangement by considering the width of
the slab (slab not too big/small, no L-shaped slab).
7 Considering the change in beam depth after there is a drop or
difference in the building floor level.
8 The orientation of a rectangular column takes into account the bending
moment requirements of the column.
9 The columns are provided at the critical and necessary locations.
10 The structural layout plan is displayed in the appropriate scale in the
project report and makes it easy for the lecturer to verify.
11 The structural layout plan drawing is displayed (beamlines) in black
and white colour.

2) Structural analysis and design (software & manual)

Item Action (√) or (X)
1 Use appropriate design parameters and check against the default
values provided in the computer software (minimum/maximum bar
size, concrete cover, concrete strength, reinforcement and etc).
2 Able to select the right type of beam for manual analysis and design
(simply supported and continuous beams).
3 Be able to distinguish between simply supported and restrained slabs.
4 Draw the bending moment diagram for a continuous beam correctly.
5 The selection of the size of the structural elements corresponds to the
structural requirements (beams, columns, and slab thickness).
6 Students can identify the types of bars H, T, Y, and R based on the
characteristic strength of the bars.
7 Do not provide 1 bar reinforcement on the beam structure. Usage
Examples 1H25, 1H16. Provide at least 2 bars and above.
8 Symmetrically provide reinforcement in the column structure on both
z-axis and y-axis.
9 Clearly understand staircase layout and support conditions.
10 Perform the loading and structural analysis of the staircase and
consider the load distribution from the staircase to the beam manually
 then, input the load of the staircase on the beam during the software
application.
11 Perform structural analysis using the moment distribution method
instead of using the simplified method (formula) for the continuous
beam.
12 Able to identify the main beam and secondary beam and take into
account the point load transfer from the secondary beam when
performing beam structure analysis
13 Beam design as a flanged beam through Esteem software and manual
calculations.
14 Review the load and structure analysis results issued by the software.
15 Make a design verification between design results produced by
software and manual calculation. The differences are at a minimum
percentage.

3) Preparation of detailed drawings of structural elements

Item Action (√) or (X)
1 Detail drawings are arranged in an orderly manner according to the
arrangement of structural elements.
2 Provide detailed drawings of the overall structural elements. Not just
selected elements.
3 Review and make amendments to detail drawings produced by the
software, especially beam details.
4 Provide slab details in the cut section view instead of providing slab
details in the plan view.
5 The column schedule is updated or summarized according to the type
of column that has the same size and amount of reinforcement.
6 The stair reinforcement details are properly provided along with other
detail drawings not just drawn manually after the stair design.
7 Provide intermediate beam reinforcement details in the stair section.

4) Providing taking off and bill of quantity

Item Action (√) or (X)
1 Presenting the detailed taking-off calculation process, not just
showing a summary.
2 The taking-off calculation is based on the current price rate schedule
issued by the Public Work Department (JKR) of Malaysia.
3 The total amount of cost estimated is reasonable to the total cost of
the actual project.
