Project 1- Fettuccine Truss Bridge
In this project, my groupmates and I are required to create a sturdy truss bridge out of fettuccine. The bridge is required to have a 750mm clear span and weight under 200g. From this project, I am able to evaluate, explore and improve attributes of construction materials. Then, I am able to explore and apply understanding of load distribution in a truss. I am also able to evaluate and identify tension and compression members in a truss structure. Lastly, I have explored different arrangement of members in a truss structure.

Project 2- Extension of R.C. Bungalow
In this project, I am required to look for a bungalow and then proposing a extension for it. After that, I am required to calculate the beam and column loads. Throughout this project, I have been able to produced a complete documentation on structural system of a case study. Then, I have explored and understood the concept of structural analysis. Besides, I am able to recognize, execute and implement basic procedures of building structure design. Lastly, I can produce a structural proposal and identify structural components.
