CEM5ACS

2021

Credit points: 15

Subject outline

This subject will provide a solid understanding of contemporary construction practices, materials development and application of applicable techniques for medium to high rise residential buildings, commercial buildings that includes industrial, educational, medical and other related classes of buildings. You will be engaged with the technological processes involved from design to construction and develop an understanding in assembling the inherent structural systems and built form of these buildings. You will develop essential skills for the executing piling and basements construction; retention systems; industrial buildings, portal frames and ground slabs; precast construction systems for walls and floors; prestressing applications and construction systems for buildings and infrastructure elements; hybrid and composite construction systems.
