Prepare detailed design of civil concrete structures

Task 1 – Detailed Design – Concrete Bridge

This assessment task requires you to prepare detailed designs of a concrete bridge including:

• interpreting and analysing data, including calculating:
• evaluating design options for civil concrete structures
• carrying out risk assessments
• 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 meters.

During the above, you must:

1. 1. • 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:

1. • 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

Task 2 – Detailed Design – Major Road Noise Barrier (Concrete)

This assessment task requires you to prepare detailed designs of a concrete noise barrier along a major road, such as a freeway or highway, 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 nose barrier will be 20 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
