COVENANT UNIVERSITY CANAANLAND, OTA OGUN STATE COLLEGE OF SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY DEPARTMENT OF BUILDING TECHNOLOGY COURSE TITTLE: CONSTRUCTION TECHNOLOGY 1 COURSE CODE BLD 311 (3 UNITS) LECTURER OWOLABI, JAMES DELE Ph.D. Assistant: B. Ogunbayo ALPHA SEMESTER 2014/2015 Time: Monday 12.00A.M. – 3.00P.M. Hall 201 CST 1 CONSTRUCTION TECHNOLOGY Covenant University Department of Building Technology Course Compact A. Brief Overview of Course This course, BLD 311 Construction Technology is an introduction to Multi-storey structures. The course is to impart the application of the knowledge and the awareness necessary in the day to day successful running of the building construction industry. It is to emphasize the frame and load bearing walls, and choice of appropriate structures. Course Description Multi-storey Structures – the frame and load bearing wall, choice of appropriate structure Framed Structures – Steel frame, Reinforced Concrete (In-situ and Precast) Frame, RC wall, Pre-stressed concrete. Movement control – Vertical circulations – stairs, ramps and ladders. Roof Structures – Beams, trusses and girders, rigid/portal frames, shells, folded slabs, space frames, single-layer grids, double layer grids, folded lattice plates, barrel vaults, domes tension structures etc. Movement Control Structures, etc. Movement control Underground and Space surveys Astronomy. Temporary Supports – Formworks, Seal folding. Integration of Structures with services and equipment. Communicating in building. Introduction to hydrology/Photogramatic surveys. Mass haul diagram and associated quantities B. Course Objectives/Goals 1. To enable the students know how to construct multi-storey building using the appropriate choice of building systems. 2. To make the students know different types of roof structures available for residential and industrial buildings. 3. To enlighten the students on integration of structures with services and equipment. 4. To give the students Hands-on experiences in the workshop or laboratory settings on some wooden aspects of multi storey buildings. C. Methods of Lecture Delivery/Teaching Aids Classroom lectures, Projector, Magnetic ink board and 15minutes interactive session at the end of every lecture. Regular visits to the on-going project sites for practical experience. 2 D.
