Knowledge Assessment
Question 1- Following a well-prepared agenda contributes to the smooth execution of a design review- The agenda should identify who is responsible and the allocated time for each agenda item with the majority of the time spent on a detailed discussion -i-e-, not presentation- of the product-
Provide an overview of topics that could be included in an agenda- It is important that only those topics pertinent to the product and timing of the design review be included-

Question 3- What normally occurs during pre-design phases of a civil construction project
Question 4- Outline three sets of data or information you would require to design a bridge-
Question 5- In undertaking civil concrete structure design, what documents you would access prior to undertaking the design???? List 6-
Question 6- What is a conceptual design????
Question 7- Using the correct terminology, label the bridge diagram shown below:
Question 8- What is an abutment and what is its purpose????
Question 9- What is being shown in the following image???? Label and outline the purpose of the structure-
Question 10- What is a design estimate????
Question 11- What element is being shown below and what is its function????
Question 12- Using the following cost estimate71, identify:
-a- What structure is being built????-b- What is the total cost estimate of the project????-c- What units of measure are used for the concrete????-d- How much variation is allowed for in the estimate????
Question 13- What is the purpose of a design review????
Question 14- Why is it important to have a good mix of skills in a design review panel????
Question 15- What does the schematic design stage entail, including management roles and deliverables????
Question 16- Why are designer listening skills a critical skill in receiving stakeholder feedback????
Question 17- What is a document management system????
Question 18- What does design verification refer to????
Question 19- List three verification methods-
Question 20- What does design validation entail????
Question 21- List four forces applied to bridges-
Question 22- -a- Show your work as you use the following load combinations to solve the problem:
Load Combinations
1- Ultimate load = dead load + live load + snow load
2- Ultimate load = dead load + live load + wind load -or earthquake load-
3- Ultimate load = dead load + live load + wind load + -snow load ÷ 2-
4- Ultimate load = dead load + live load + snow load + -wind load ÷ 2-
5- Ultimate load = dead load + live load + snow load + earthquake load
Calculate the five ultimate loads resulting from each combination for the following loads:
Dead load = 45359-237 kg
Live load = 13834-56729 kg
Wind load = 2277-0337 kg
Snow load = 181-437 kg
Earthquake load = 2267-962 kg
-b- Using the highest load calculated from question 22, calculate the required area of the circular shape made of concrete if it is a pier or a column with a compression force acting on it- What is the radius of this circle???? The maximum compressive strength of this concrete is 34473786 pascals-
Use the following equations to complete the problem- Show all work and calculations-
Highest ultimate load = -max- compressive strength- x -cross-sectional area-
Cross-sectional area of circle = p x -radius-2 p = 3-14
Highest ultimate load = -max- compressive strength- x -cross-sectional area-
Skills Assessment -Practical Parts-
Part 1 - Detailed Design - Concrete Bridge
This assessment task requires you to prepare detailed designs of a concrete bridge including:
· carrying out risk assessments
· evaluating design options for civil concrete structures
· interpreting and analysing data, including calculating:
· loads
· shear forces
· bending moments
· stresses
· areas
· volumes
· mass
· sizes of components for civil concrete structure
· preparing civil concrete structures design plans
· preparing cost estimates
· obtaining design approval
· participating in performance reviews of design processes
· providing clarification and advice to personnel implementing the design
· maintaining design and cost records
· validating designs
for a geographical scenario as nominated by your Assessor- The minimum span for the bridge will be 30 metres-
During the above, you must:
· locate and apply required legislation, documentation, policies and procedures
· implement the requirements, procedures and techniques to prepare detailed design of civil concrete structures, including:
· accessing and interpreting required documentation, including:
· plans
· drawings
· specifications
· design briefs
· engineering surveys
· geotechnical information
· hydrological, meteorological, cultural and heritage data
· test results of construction materials for civil concrete structures
· data for selecting options for civil concrete structures
· applying civil design techniques, including:· computer aided drafting design -CADD- and drafting technology
· industry or government standard design software
· engineering graphical presentation techniques
· work with others to prepare detailed designs of civil concrete structures in a way that meets required outcomes, including:
· complying with reporting requirements and procedures
· communicating with others to receive and clarify work instructions
· communicating with others to coordinate work activities-
A full schematic design is required including cost estimates for the designed structure, sketches, CAD drawings and models as required- These should be submitted as a portfolio for assessment-
As such, your portfolio will include:
· calculations, including:
· earthworks volumes
· construction materials and services quantities
· construction cost estimates
· drawings
· risk assessment of:
· the existing conditions
· the application of the design
· maintainability of the completed works
· health, safety and environmental requirements
· contribution to ancillary documentation, which may include:
· design notes
· construction notes
· supplementary drawings
· input to the specifications
