Building the brightly future: Project 2: Understanding Forces in Solid Structure and Surface Structure

In a group of 6, we were assigned to choose a building to do the analysis of basic structural system in construction. The Lyon-Satolas airport railway station designed by Santiago Calatrava Valls is the building we chose. From the project, i have learnt

* Identifications of basic structural systems in construction
* Differentiate skeletal, solid and surface construction systems in terms of loads and forces acting on structural elements.
* Recognize and apply the implications of construction system in design.
* Analyse the issues of strength, stiffness and stability of structures including modes of structural systems, forces, stress and strain and laws of static.
