ProJecT RuS104

In this group project we need to built a pavillion that are located in the middle of USM campus. We had to include 3 item's in these project that are the report on the site, the drawing of the pavillion and also the model. We had been given 3 weeks to finished up our assignment. Each of our group member's had take part in these task..

First i had include the site analysis of the project:

Site analysis

Contour

Percentage of slopeis determined to identify the areas that are not suitable for development based on the Standard Department of Town and Country Planning (DTCP)

Site analysis; Traffic around USM’s Convocation Site.

The network o main road around the site location can be shown on the diagram below;

The site location is near to the main road that usually and commonly be used by all the students, lectures and people who come in and out from University Science Malaysia. The road that connects to the site is JalanUniversiti and JalanPerpustakaan. The main road that is near to the site location is Jalan Masjid which is the one of the four main entrances in USM. The traffic on the road usually busy during peak hour, because the road is surrounded by main building such as mosque and main office.

Sun direction analysis

The site location is located at the north east from the Institute of Postgraduate Studies building. The sun movement as already know, is form East to West. On that site, the sun radiation is quite less as it is covered by the huge trees.

The average temperature in USM can be stated as ;

Temperature (day) 28 degree Celsius until 33 degree Celsius.

Temperature (night) 22 degree Celsius until 25 degree Celsius.

The importance of solar radiation to the formation of building is it is requires for planning and design of buildings, type & system of insulation, finishes, system of environmental control , types of construction joints and methods of shading.

Site analysis: wind movement

Basically, the wind move circularly and reversible between North East and South West.The wind movement usually high in speed during at the end of year, November till January. With the present of trees around the site location, it makes the environment more calm and peace.

Soil

The type of soil at site is coarse-grained soils. It have gravel n sand. It have low percentage of void spaces and are most stable than silt and clay. Granular soils such as gravel, sand or some silt require a confining force for their shear resistance and have a relatively shallow angle of repose. The soil underlying a building site may actually consist of superimposed layers each of which contains a mix of soil types, developed by weathering or deposition. There are a flat surface and some uneven ground. Beside that, there are many long roots of large trees, especially in the middle of the site. Next, most of the middle of the site is full of grass and sand. Sloping land conditions make the construction work easier. No critical gradient of site will not disturb the construction work. The integrity of a building structure depends on the stability and strength under loading of the soil underlying the foundation. The stratification, composition and density of the soil bed, variation in particle size and the presence orabsnce of groundwater are all critical factors in determining the suitability of a soil as a foundation material
