Part 1 : Civil engineering and Construction in Europe (1-0-1 ECTS)

Coordination: S. Staquet

The objective of the civil engineering and construction in Europe part is to analyse the link between the use of the structural construction materials and the structural shape of exceptional construction projects in Europe. Several seminars/sessions are organized during the 1^st semester. Each student has to analyse one specific project from the stability point of view, the optimization of the use of the construction materials and the integration of the project into the city or environment among a selection of about 50 buildings/bridges/constructions existing in Belgium and in The Netherlands. A technical written paper is expected at the end of the 1^st semester.

A 2 or 3 days-trip in Belgium and in The Netherlands is organized after the Easter holidays to visit the projects chosen by all students for their personal technical written paper.  It includes an oral presentation on site by each student on their selected project. A final oral presentation is expected at the end of the 2^nd semester.

 

Part 2 : Structural Engineering and Geotechnical Project (0-0-9 ECTS)

Part 2.1 : Structural Engineering Coordination: L. Pyl

The assignment is to analyze, in a team, a mid-rise concrete building. This structural analysis process consists of the following steps:

- Preliminary design: choice of the lay-out of the structural elements (direction of the spans, the beams and distance between columns; pre-design of slabs, beams and columns; visualization of the structure by plans (plan view, sections, wireframe views) and eventually a structural 3D mock up.

- Structural analysis:

• Determination of loads and combinations using EC1, making calculation hypothesis and a static model

• Structural analysis using analytical methods

• If necessary, verification of the dynamic behaviour of the structure

- Dimensioning of the structure according to the Eurocodes, including the slabs, the beams, the columns and the central core

- Detailing of some important structural parts, including the reinforcement calculations

- Written and oral reporting

In order to support the structural design process, several theoretical classes are given, that can depend from project to project (a.o. introduction to structural design, calculation of wind loads and horizontal stability of structures, ...).

 

Part 2.2 : Geotechnical Engineering

Coordination: P. Gérard

The objective of the geotechnical part of the project is to design the geotechnical structures required for the transmission of the load from the structure to the ground (shallow and/or deep foundations) as well for the execution of excavation works (temporary or permanent retaining structures, slope stability and/or dewatering system) by means of calculation rules from Eurocode 7. The design of those geotechnical structures must be properly carried in order to agree with the requirement of the structure. If needed, the construction phases must also be studied and optimized to ensure sufficient stability of temporary structures during all the steps of construction.

This part of the project requires to have basic notions in soil mechanics and geotechnical engineering, as given in the course of Soil Mechanics (Bachelor 3) and Geotechnical Engineering (Master 1) at ULB and VUB. However, other similar background could be well suited. Along the different working sessions, some additional theoretical concepts will be given to provide the necessary tools to the students to address specific aspects of the project. Those theoretical classes depend from project to project.

Leerresultaten

Algemene competenties

Deel 1 (1-0-1)       

Het doel is een verruiming van de algemene kennis van de student in het domein van de burgerlijke bouwkunde. De student kan aan een team van experts de stabiliteit toelichten, mondeling en schriftelijk, van een specifieke constructie.

Deel 2 (0-0-9)   

De student kan het volledige constructief ontwerp uitvoeren van een 3D constructie met grote overspanning volgens de Eurocode normering (inclusief de optimalisatie, constructieve analyse, optimalisatie, detaillering,...)

Beoordelingsinformatie

De beoordeling bestaat uit volgende opdrachtcategorieën:
WPO Praktijkopdracht bepaalt 100% van het eindcijfer

Binnen de categorie WPO Praktijkopdracht dient men volgende opdrachten af te werken:

• exam met een wegingsfactor 100 en aldus 100% van het totale eindcijfer.
  
  Toelichting: Part 1 corresponds with (1-0-1) credits.
  Part 2 corresponds with (0-0-9) credits.
  For the different sub-tasks in Part 2, the examination score will be based on a weighted average score.
  The distribution of the marks between the different sub-tasks in part 2 is as follows:
  • Structural part: 15% mid-term presentation, 15% final presentation, 5% daily work, 30% report structural part
  • Geotechnical part: 10% final presentation, 5% daily work, 20% report geotechnical part
  
  In case of failure, second session is not possible for the Multidisciplinary Project in Civil Engineering Course.

Aanvullende info mbt evaluatie

Part 1 : Civil engineering and Construction in Europe (1-0-1) One technical paper explaining the use of the structural construction materials and the structural stability aspects of the bridge/building/construction which has been selected by the student among a choice of about 50 exceptional construction projects in Belgium and in The Netherlands. Writing of the technical paper during the 1st semester (deadline of submission: Mid-January; working period: Mid-September up to Mid-January). The technical paper is submitted in electronic version only. During the trip, each student will present on site the technical aspects of his/her selected project. After the 2 or 3 days trip scheduled after the Eastern holidays, a final oral presentation by each student is scheduled the same day as the one foreseen for the structural and geotechnical engineering project.   Part 2 : Structural Engineering and Geotechnical Project (0-0-9 ECTS)   The agenda, containing a synthesis of the work done during the session and at home will be part of the final report. The agenda should be presented in the oral presentation during the mid-term and end-term jury. This will be taken into account in the marks for the individual work. The instructor can ask each session to the student to show his/her agenda Part 2.1 Structural Engineering 1. The weekly participation of the student to the working sessions 2. A mid-term oral presentation. A mid-jury judges the work based on a presentation per group and the deliverables. 3. A final report containing - corrections, if applicable, of the basis of design - a note describing the principles of the adopted structure - calculation notes - spreadsheets based on the calculation notes - wireframe views and drawings. 4. An end jury with oral presentation. All reports are submitted on paper and in electronic version. Part 2.2 Geotechnical Engineering The evaluation of this part is based on: 1. The weekly participation of the student to the working sessions 2. A final report detailing the geotechnical design - Presentation of the main geotechnical designed structures - A summary of the main steps of calculation included in the main report - The calculation notes joined in annex of the report - Technical drawings of the geotechnical structures, including dimensions, material types and eventual connection details 3. The final presentation of the project in which a brief summary of calculation must be integrated inside the general presentation of the designed geotechnical structure. The construction steps may also be included in the presentation, if needed.  All reports are submitted on paper and in electronic version. In case of unbalance in the contribution to the project, based on the agenda, on the contribution during the working sessions, on the presentations and answers to the questions, on the reports, the course instructors can decide to attribute different partial marks to each student. The agenda of each individual group member can be asked for at any moment.
