Structures and Soil Mechanics: Analysis of Brock Commons House

This project requires you to interpret and evaluate a structure in the built-environment. Engineers make decisions on materials, member shape and the connections for the individual members that make up a structure based on their understanding of how each of them performs under loads and over time. This project requires you to be that engineer and consider how these factors influence material choice and building shape. You will be required to investigate the “Brock Commons Tallwood House” located in at the University of British Columbia, Canada. This is to be used as the case study structure for this assignment. Context: Imagine this structure was to be built in Australia. As the project engineer consider loads and other factors that may be unique to a region, i.e. consider the Australian standards.
