Content
SRT151 introduces students to construction processes and structural systems. Students learn about building elements requisite to a simple residential building, such as footings, floors, walls and roofs: inclusive of common contemporary and alternative structural systems. In so doing, students will consider the engineering requirements of low-rise residential structures, such as loads, forces, fixing techniques and material properties. Energy efficiency and the global socio-ecological implications of material choices will also be considered. Further, students will be introduced to other key construction activities such as site surveys and condition reports, site establishment, excavation, bracing and off-site fabrication.
Hurdle requirement
To be eligible to obtain a pass in this unit students must achieve at least 40% in the applied structural solution task.
