BLD61203 Structure

First of all, this subject is mainly about physics. Even though I was a science stream student when I was in my high school, this subject is still challenging for me. We have learned about forces, moments, truss, beams and others. We learned the calculate the shear force and bending moments of the beams. It is not just about mathematics, it involves all the physics concept which is very difficult. However, we have a very patient lecturer - Mr Chai who is willing to explain to us whenever we do not understand the concepts or calculations.

This subject consist of one mid term test which is 25%, one in class assignment which is 25% as well as one final exam which is 50%.

I have improved my understanding skills during the tutorial as Mr Chai explain the calculation in details if I do not understand in the lecture class. I like his tutorial class because I can really practice the calculations in class so that I do not have to go home and do all the exercise and I have no one to ask if I do not understand. I have also improved my problem solving skills as this subject needs a lot of imagination and I have to apply all the theory when I am solving the calculation. I also understood the importance of the design of the structures to a building which might cause fatal and serious consequences.
