In measurement 2 we learnt on measurement in staircase, wall finishes and floor finisihes.
In Staircase, we need to measure tiles of the staircase and nosing which is non - slip homogeneous tiles. We also need to measure the plaster finished for the horizontal soffit of landing slab. The hardest thing in staircase measurement is counting the reinforcement bar because it hard to read the drawing and hard to understand also.
In wall finishes, We learnt one brickwall is 225mm thick and half brickwall is 113mm thick. Type of brick bonding like stretcher bond is half brickwall and english and flemish bond is one brickwall. We required to measure stiffener, formwork , reinforcement bars, brickwall and Damp proof course. In wall finishes for external, we need to differentiate which is common brick and facing brick because facing brick we required to add Extra over in dimension sheet. Besides that we also need to deduct the opening of the whole building like window and doors. The hardest part of wall finishes would be bathroom deduction parts. We need to careful deduct to avoid double counting.
In floor finishes, the hardest thing is the dropping because i don't know how to read the drawing clearly.
Lastly, our measurement also having a RICS-RISM-AALSM ISCU 2013 event. All the student become students helper.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CAAAaqlZY7o

QSB 1714 Building service
In building service, we have learnt the ventilation of a
building. Ventilation consists of 2 types which is natural ventilation and
machine ventilation. Ventilation allow to cool down a building , prevention of
heat concentration from machinery, lighting and human, control of humidity and
others. We learned other topic like cold water supply, hot water supply, storm water management, sewerage disposal and treatment system, telecommunications.
With those topics we have learnt, is that enough for us to know the service systems in a building. Each an every system is very important in order to provide a comfortable environment for the users.Furthermore,
Building service allow us to know more about construction which will leads to understand and knowledge for prepape our Bills of Quantities and for estimating purposes.
Besides
that, in our assignment we choose ventilation for our case study topic. We went
to visit Putra Mosque for the ventilation system. Putra Mosque is using natural
ventilation. The cool air is channeled into the Putra Mosque from the lake.
This allow to cool down the interior of the building. Futhermore, The big door
size of Putra mosque also good in helping the ventilation, it allow more cool
air to enter to the building and discharges.
This is the lake of Putra Mosque
QSB1524 - Construction technology 2
In
Constuction technology 2, I learn about the Pile foundation. For examples
soldier piles and laggings, contiguous bored pile and basement diaphragm walls.
Every piles excavation required a temporary support and maybe need additional support
depand on situation.
In my Assignment we choose Scaffolding topic as our case study. We have visit 2 place one is at Ara Damansara, Petaling Jaya and One more is at The site Near Taylor University.
This is the Sleeve
coupler and it is used for connecting the steel scaffolding pipe or other similar
pipe.
This is scahe
platform and the green net is called as netting to prevent thing from
dropping down and prevent the dust from going out from the building.
This
is the U-Head jack and the main
function is to hold timber beam in securely in place or help to support the
weight of the suspended slab.
This
is a base plate which connected with
the main frame and help to transfer the load to the ground. The base plate also
can help to adjust the frame scaffolding into a require height when there is a
uneven ground.
This is the cross brace which connected with
diagonally to the both side of main
frame. Cross brace is used stabilize the frame scaffolding, in other word is to
support the main frame scaffolding.
This is the Frame scaffolding with all the components are
connect with each others. The function is to transfer the load from the upper
to the ground and provide a safe place of work with safe access suitable for
work being done.
This
is a joint pin it is used to put
between of the two scaffolding and it function is to connect the upper and
lower scaffolding together.
This is
Follow section which place under the suspended slab formwork.
The Follow section
help to spread the weight of the upper floor to the scaffolding. Follow section
also can be a timber but in this site they use metal as a follow section.
2nd site
This is a scaffolding walking
board which allow the workers to walk and work on the scaffolding.
This is the save
passage way for the worker to walk through it is one of the safety rule
required.
This is a wall tides which
tide the wall together with the scaffolding to prevent the scaffolding from
collapse.
The green colour net is called as netting
the purpose is to prevent the dust or object from going out from the building
This is another type of shorter
frame scaffolding basically it have the same function as the longer type of
frame scaffolding
Jack
base
used as a handrail to act as a temporary Staircase handrail.
This is the passenger
hoist it can transfer the worker from floor to floor just in few second
time.
QSB 1813 - Site surveying
In
Site Surverying I have learnt the leveling theory and practice. In theory of leveling
we learnt What is bench-marks ,
temporary benchmark, Reduced level, Backsight, Foresight, intermediate sight,
change point and Line of collimation. Those are the term we know to learn
before to calculate.

There is 2 method in calculate levelling
which is ‘’Rise and Fall’’ and ‘’HI’’ method.
Example of Rise and
Fall method
Besides that, we also learnt how to make correction of
misclosure

This is one of the example of Misclosure Table.
We also learnt what is the required equipment for Levelling.
A levelling staff , tripod, auto level meter, staff bubble.
This
is our first pratical in Taylor University. We are learning on how to use the
auto level meter to measure the BS, IS and FS.
Beside
that’s we also learn practical and Theory of traversing. In theory, the
equipment of traversing is the almost the same as levelling just the levelling
staff changed to rod staff. Traversing is using the azimuth and bearing to
calculate.
The
following is the examples of our Practical field work
