Course Description
This course builds on your learning in Construction Technology 1, and focuses on the composition and use of concrete and composite material design within high-rise construction. In this course you will develop your knowledge and understanding of basic design principles which apply to the use of concrete and composite materials and develop your understanding of key construction techniques that apply to high-rise construction, including basement construction techniques. You will also explore how to utilise construction technologies and materials applicable to the construction of a high rise building.
Areas covered include:
- Structural forms
- Concrete design
- Concrete building technology
- Advanced construction
- Concrete technology
If you are enrolled in this course as a component of your Bachelor Honours Program, your overall mark will contribute to the calculation of the weighted average mark (WAM).
See the WAM information web page for more information.)
Objectives/Learning Outcomes/Capability Development
Program Learning Outcomes (PLOs)
In this course you will develop the following program learning outcomes:
PLO1. Determine and apply knowledge of complex construction management theory to your professional practice and/or further study
PLO2. Professionally communicate with a range of audiences, demonstrating in depth knowledge of the discipline and of the needs of diverse construction management stakeholders
PLO3. Formulate evidence based solutions to industry problems or issues through the application of logical, critical and creative thinking, intelectual agility and the analysis, synthesis and application of theoretical, digital, human and technical skills
PLO5. Collaborate effectively with others, within and across disciplines and demonstrate independent intellectual agility and autonomy to solve problems and address industry issues and imperatives
Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs)
Upon successful completion of this course, you will be able to:
CLO1: Analyse and apply construction technologies used in commercial construction, both local and global
CLO2: Select and justify the use of construction technologies appropriate to diverse construction sites
CLO3: Evaluate different technologies used in high rise construction
CLO4: Determine and justify the optimal construction technologies for use in the different stages of construction
Overview of Learning Activities
Your learning in this course will be developed through a variety of classroom activities that will include face to face lectures, workshops, and a site visit to a highrise construction project. Delivery may be face to face, online or a mix of both.
Overview of Learning Resources
RMIT will provide you with resources and tools for learning in this course through our online systems.
There are services available to support your learning through the University Library. The Library provides guides on academic referencing and subject specialist help as well as a range of study support services.
