Civil Engineering Project: Design, Analysis & Repair Methods

This civil engineering project showcases a student's work on structural analysis, design, and repair methodologies. It includes three career episodes demonstrating competency in knowledge and skill base, engineering application ability, and professional conduct. The first episode focuses on the design of a precast concrete skeletal structure for a 12-story building, considering various loads and material properties. The second episode details the reinforced concrete design of a pedestrian bridge, covering slab, beam, column, and footing design. The third episode involves the structural investigation of a shop house affected by fire damage, outlining the assessment methodology, repair options, and conclusions, including strengthening, stabilization, and repair of corrosion-damaged concrete. The project highlights the application of established engineering methods, systematic design processes, ethical conduct, effective communication, and professional management of information.
