Below is the original assignment sheet for the community service project in Professor Williams' Concrete Structures class.
Preliminary
Activities: We will be constructing a 30’ x 40’ concrete slab. The slab
will is to 4 inches thick, and will be constructed on University property. As a
part of your pre-construction services, the owner has requested a detailed
Sketch-Up model showing (at a minimum) the following:
a) A basic layout drawing locating
the slab in relation to pre-established points on property
b) A drawing of the slab
superimposed on a photograph of the site
c) A detailed drawing of the
formwork including exact material sizes and lengths, splice locations, splice
details, steel stake locations, keyway details, form elevations, and location
and depth of all control joints
d) A drawing showing the exact
location of all reinforcing steel within the slab, including an accommodation
for 2’ long splices, and specification of tie wire locations
e) A drawing showing the pour
sequence, utilizing a concrete truck (drawn to scale) indicating the locations
of the truck at various times of the pour
f) A drawing showing a complete
material list, including all formwork, fasteners and concrete.
Groups: You will choose your own groups at the
beginning of class on Monday, March 19. Groups will be comprised of 4 or 5
members. Each group shall designate a leader. Each group shall also choose one
or two members that are charged with pre-construction services, who can
immediately begin constructing the Sketch-Up model. Send (not later than noon
on March 19) a listing of members ant titles to Professor Williams and Richard
Allen.
Presentation of Pre-Construction Activities:
You will present your Sketch-Up drawings to the owners’
representative, Professor Bruce Smith, on Friday, March 23, in room 303 at 9:00
a.m. The presentation should last 20 minutes, and may include a 10 minute
question and answer session.
Grading Criteria for Pre-Construction Presentation:
- 50% successful completion of all requirements
- 20% quality of drawings
- 20% quality of presentation
- 10% accuracy and completeness of material takeoff
- 10% extra credit possible
This grade for this presentation will be distributed equally
to all students in the class, and will account for 20% of the entire grade for
the project, so choose your group’s representative carefully.
