Question2 Shopping Center Client’s Requirements The following client’s requirements must be met: 1. A four storey shopping center, in an open site, is to be constructed in Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon. See figure Q2. 2. Minimum column spacing (center to center) is8my Om c/c 3. No column is allowed at the ground flooxentrance lobby. <1 cole 4. 250inm curtain wall is to be allowed at the perimeter of the building to allow for natural lighting. 5. Minimum requirements on clear headroom (clear height of all structure, finishes and building services) are as follows Floor Use Min. Headroom (m) Finishes & Services Zone (m All Shopping center 5.0 03 cet Sy actort fee 6. Aminimum2-hour fire resistance rating is required for all structural elements. = (- \~s ovine Imposed Loads 7. The imposed loads shall be in accordance with the latest version of the Hong Kong Code of Practice for Dead and Imposed Loads. Wind Loads 8. The wind loads shall be in accordance with the Code of Practice on Wind Effects in Hong Kong 2004,Site Conditions 9. The site is located in Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon at a datum level of about +4.5mPD. 10. Ground conditions are: Ground level-2m —_Alluvium, SPT N-value = 100 2m-15m Highly decomposed granite, SPT N-value greater than 300 15m and below Slightly to moderately decomposed moderately strong granite or volcanic rock of material weathering grade Il or better with allowable bearing pressure of 5,000Kpa Ground water is encountered at 0.2m below ground level. Omit from Consideration 11. Design of the skylight on roof floorSection A Prepare a design appraisal with appropriate sketches indicating two distinct and viable solutions for the proposed shopping center including two viable foundation schemes. Indicate clearly the functional framing, load transfer and stability aspects of each scheme to meet all client’s requirements. Identify the solution you recommend and give reasons for your choice. (30 marks) Explain how the building structure will resist wind load including detailed description of the structural wind loads and design assumption. Prepare a detailed wind load calculation for the proposed shopping center. (10 marks) Section B For the solution recommended in Section A: ©. Prepare sufficient design calculations to establish the form and size of all the principal structural elements including the foundation. (20 marks) d. Prepare framing plans and a sectional plan in East-West direction to show the dimensions, layout and disposition of the structural elements and critical details for estimating purposes. (20 marks) €. Prepare a detailed method statement covering essential activities for the safe construction of the building including excavation / lateral support and foundation works but excluding curtain wall installation. (10 marks) f. Prepare a detailed construction program covering essential activities from ‘commencement of foundation to completion of structural works. (10 marks)Sar SHOPPING.

The candidate has to propose two viable and distinct schemes. The whole paper will be failed if: a) Only one scheme is proposed (even if this only one scheme is structurally feasible and acceptable) oR b) Two schemes are proposed but they are not distinct or one of the schemes is not feasible However, the whole paper (both section A and B) should still be marked (Samples of the structural schemes are attached for reference) 2. The candidate has to provide two viable foundation schemes ~ 10 marks to be deducted if no two viable schemes are provided. Both foundation schemes shall discuss and consider design loading and ground conditions especially the bearing 300 and high water table — 10 marks to be deducted if the justification of capacity of soil from 2m to 15m when bearing capacity is incorrect. Detailed calculation and sketches shall be provided for both foundation schemes — 5 marks to be deducted if any ‘one of the foundation schemes is incorrect. 3. The scheme will be considered not acceptable if it contains one of the following major non-compliance: a) Column spacing (center to center) less than 8m including the distance between the external wall, inclined perimeter column is expected b) Vertical structural elements at entrance lobby at G/F ©) Structure elements outside the "building height limit’ 4. 5 marks will be deducted for each of the following minor non-compliance: a) 250mm along the perimeter of building for curtain wall is not allowed ) Loading provision ©) Not fulfil FRR requirement 4) headroom requirement ‘The deduction of 5 marks for minor non-compliance will be applied only once regardless it appears in one or both schemes 5. No functional Structure framing plans for either scheme - deduct 10 points Fail to discuss loading assumption, load paths including wind load or stability consideration of both schemes — deduct 10 points 7. Fail to clearly identify the solution with reasons ~ deduct 5 points Section A ‘Sub-section b ~ 10 points The candidate has to demonstrate his/her fully understanding of the HK wind code including the pressure coefficients. The candidate is asked to prepare detailed wind load calculation for the design with the consideration of the proposed extension. © Building deflection checking to meet statutory requirement is not required.Sub-section ¢ ~ 20 points This section is to test the candidate's al Sufficient design calculation to all key structure elements including: 4.
