DOUBLE STOREY SEMI-DETACHED HOUSE
BY
CHONG KIN SOON @ ANDREW
ABSTRACT
The purpose for “Design the Double-Storey Semi-Detached Housing” is to design
a structure that is safe, economical and durable to use during its lifetime.
In this project, the limit state design philosophy is used in designing the structure.
British Standard code, BS8110 for concrete is used mostly in the design of the slabs,
beams, columns, foundation, roof and stairs. Besides, BS6399 is used to determine the
dead load and imposed load that are acting on the structure’s element.
Before I start my design or calculation on the Double-storey house, first I prepare
my plan and dimensions of the house. The house consists 2 bedrooms, 1 master bedroom,
3 washrooms, 1 kitchen, 1 living room, 1 dining room and 1 utility.
For the design, firstly I design the slabs, the loads on the slabs is based on the
BS6399 which is one-way spanning slabs. Secondly, the beams are design as simply
supported beams; design is based on BS8110. The design the beams, I select the beam
that sustains the heaviest loads end design it.
Then I design stair for the house with spanning longitudinally. After that follow by
column design. 2 column are selected which are external and internal columns.
Finally, is foundation design for the house. The foundation is designed as pad
footing.

DESIGN OF A FACTORY WITH STEEL SUPERSTRUCTURES AND
REINFORCED CONCRETE FLOOR WITH MATTRESS PILING SYSTEM
BY
LEW KAUNG CHIAU
ABSTRACT
Factory is a common building in Malaysia. In line with the country’s aim to
become an industrialized and developed nation, more factories are needed to overcome
the shortage especially in rural areas.
The objective of this project a factory with steel superstructures and reinforced
concrete floor with mattress piling system. The factory consists of purlins, roof trusses,
universal steel column, base plate, reinforced concrete floor and foundation.
The purlins are constructed by using structural steel channel sections. It is used to
support cladding on the slopping roof.
The roof trusses span 30 metres and used at interval of 6 metres. The members are
made of structural steel angle sections. The trusses are joined to the respective columns
by bolts.
Steel universal columns are used to support roof trusses. Base plate is provided at
the base of every column so that axial load and moment can be distribute safely to the
stump.
The floor of the factory is designed as reinforced concrete flat slab floor. A flat
slab floor means that the floor is supported directly by column without using beams. In
this project, the floor is supported by reinforced concrete piles.
Piles caps are used in the design of foundation. The purpose of the pile cap is to
transfer the load safely from the stump to piles.

COMPUTER AIDED DESIGN OF A REINFORCED CONCRETE STRUCTURE
ELEMENT
BY
ONG CHING PAU
ABSTRACT
The project which I taken for this semester is a package of reinforced concrete
program which is written in Qbasic computer programming language. This software will
help the user especially the practicing engineers and students to computer the structural
elements of the reinforced section. Such program will speed up calculations of repetition
procedures involved in the normal hand computation.
