Despite of theory concept they acquire, various industries also need to know their capacity to complete projects using their specific initiatives. Thus, we recommend students to realize engineering projects in their four years of engineering and try to present as many white papers as possible. Students who give importance to their course projects are expected to learn how to: • Work in teams including multidisciplinary teams Build a major design experience based on the knowledge and skills acquired in the course work Build a major design experience incorporates appropriate engineering standards and multiple realistic constraints Apply both analysis and synthesis in the engineering design process, resulting in designs that meet the desired needs. II. Project Description The CGT164 project intends to demonstrate students' ability to generate structural drawings for multi- story concrete buildings using the theories and applications learned in the class. In this particular project, the students are required to generate structural drawings for four-stories of a concrete building using AutoCAD software. Description of the structure system: As a structural engineer in an engineering design firm, you are responsible for generating the structural drawings for a Three-story concrete office building, including the ground floor, with total dimensions of 18 m + Fm in width by 12+ F m in depth. The building has a total height of +12m. Note that: F = your group number *0.1 The information provided by the designer of structural engineering is as follows: • • • • There are five vertical axes in the long direction and four horizontal axes in the short one. Distances between axes due to the design requirements should be: Not equal, Not more than 6m. 2.5m between only two of the middle vertical axes The height of any floor should not be less than 3.5m and more than 5m, However, the ground floor should have a greater height than the other floors. There are concrete columns that are centered at the intersections of all axes. о The external columns "C1" have square cross-sections of 250mm, instead, the internal columns "C2" have circular cross-sections with a typical diameter that ranges between 350mm to 500mm, and should satisfy the following equation: O Column diameter (d), mm ≥ (Max span between axes (mm))/12 The foundation system is isolated footings for all columns, except for the columns with 2.5-meter spacing, which shall be combined footings due to the limited spacing between the columns. The isolated footings of the external columns "C1" and the internal columns "C2" are 600mm x 600mm, and 900mm x 900mm, respectively. However, you should use combined footings if the distance between the columns is less than 2.5 m. All the footings have the same depth, which is ranging between 500mm to 800mm. The foundation shall be cast at level -2 - F m, while the top level of the ground slab is +0.5m. ■ All columns are connected with ground beams under the ground slab. The ground beams have a width of 300mm by a height of 400mm, on the other hand, All the columns are connected on the typical floors by concrete beams with a width of 250mm and a height of 600mm. The thickness of the ground slab is 150mm, whereas, the slab thickness of other floors is ranged between 200mm to 350mm and should satisfy the following equation: Max span between axes (mm) Slab Thickness (ts), mm >: 25 You are required to generate and deliver the structural drawings package with a proper scale, which should include the following: 1- Axes of columns plan, 2- Foundation Plan, 3- Ground floor Structural Plan, 4- Typical floor Structural plan, and 5- One section through the whole structure between axes B and C [without stairs]. III. ABET Learning Outcome IV. The aim of this project is to: • Draw engineering drawings according to the standards' requirements (1). • • Know the basic knowledge of the structural elements and their connections (1). Know the basic knowledge of engineering drawings professions and the importance of the graphical language to communicate with other disciplines (3). Devolve and produce engineering drawings using Computer-Aided Design "CAD" software (7). Project Management & Deliverables This project shall be submitted in one deliverable. Project Deliverable (due date is on Week Fourteen 12th, May 2024): Students of each class need to form project groups (groups of 3) The students should submit the project deliverable with all the requested sheets in a PDF and AutoCad format file. • The students should provide each requested sheet in a landscape drawing frame with the title block including all the required information and general notes (using a proper scale) • The project should start with technical details about the structure system of the building, and calculations for the internal columns' diameter and slab thickness. • Each drawing should be provided in a landscape-drawing frame with the title block, including all the required information and general notes, and with all needed dimensions with a proper drawing scale factor. V. Turnitin Turnitin is a web-based solution that lets AUM faculty and AUM students check written work for improper citation or misappropriated content. You may be assigned a username and a password to be able to upload your assignments online, when and if requested. If you face any technical problems, please contact IT at AUM. VI. APA Style AUM adopts the APA writing style for all its academic programs. AUM students need to use this style for their assignments. The following web site is of value for students: http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/. Students are also encouraged to visit the AUM Writing Lab to receive help and guidance on all APA-related questions. VII. Academic Honesty and Integrity Assurance One of the signs that the course material has been properly understood is honesty when accomplishing the assignments. Lack of academic integrity (e.g. plagiarism, copying another person's work, the use of unauthorized aids on examinations, cheating, facilitating acts of academic dishonesty by others) will not be tolerated. Therefore, if students include ideas, sentences, or other material that are not theirs in their work, they must properly quote the source(s). Students are encouraged to consult with the instructor if they have any questions on the issues of academic integrity or technical formatting of the references. Upon suspicion and doubt of the authenticity of the work submitted, the Instructor has the right to ask the student to verify her/his work. This can be done through, but not limited to, repeating the work, oral examination or discussion, alternative or similar on spot class assignment, pop quiz, or any other action deemed necessary. If the student fails to prove the authenticity of the work, then the Instructor will apply the academic misconduct rules as mentioned in the AUM Student Handbook which may include awarding the work a zero grade. Students are expected and encouraged to be honest and to maintain the highest standards of academic integrity in their academic work and assignments at the University. Any act of Academic Dishonesty may result in severe consequences for violations range from zero grades given for the assignments, failing the course, and suspension from the University. Students will refrain from any academic dishonesty or misconduct including, but not limited to: • Upon suspicion and doubt of the authenticity of the work submitted, the Instructor has the right to ask the student to verify her/his work. This can be done through, but not limited to, oral examination or discussion, or any other action deemed necessary. If the student fails to prove the authenticity of the work, then the Instructor will apply the academic misconduct rules as mentioned in the AUM Student Handbook A zero grade will be given to all students that share exactly the same results: You will also be held responsible if someone else copies your work - unless you can demonstrate that you have taken reasonable precautions against copying. • Any violation of the AUM standards will be taken as a violation to AUM policy and can lead to penalties. If you wonder whether a course of action violates this policy, simply ask in advance and please refer to the undergraduate AUM Student Handbook. For a detailed description of academic misconduct, please refer to the AUM Student Handbook.
