Assessment 2 Part A (p.15)RESEARCH MATERIALS AND METHODS FOR STRUCTURAL
ELEMENTS AND RECORD FINDINGS FOR A WIDE SPAN BUILDING
Task 2 – Individual ResearchCharacteristics and applications of materials used for structural elements are researched and evaluated.
Each student is required to:
Research a different Suspended Floor system for the Office component of a Wide Span building. NOTE: Past, current or emerging construction materials can be selected
Task 3 – Group ResearchThe group is then required to select one of the Suspended Flooring systems to research. The group’s research should convey general information and technical information regarding properties, construction method, handling and cost effectiveness of the chosen system.
Research by manufacturer’s/
suppliers Catalogues or Internet sites
