Content
SRT351 is the final unit in the construction and structures stream. Students will extend their knowledge from residential and low-rise commercial to the particular issues faced in the construction of multi-storey and high-rise buildings. Students will learn about constructing below ground floors, as well as working and building at height. Students will further investigate site preparation, equipment usage, erection and fabrication techniques, services provision, as well as the material and structural demands on building elements. Students will learn about the integration of structure, enclosure, and services with building utility, and how various engineering systems, along with approaches to construction, impact these in terms of building speed, cost, quality and construction complexity.
