No plagiarism is allowed. If there is any plagiarism found, we will follow the procedures stated in the admission pack.

If you have any enquiries, please feel free to contact our staffs.

8

All learner’s work must be reviewed by the assessor, internal verifier, external verifier in order to pass.

9

In the recent EV visit, a lot of direct or partial copying from internet were found. For examples, students are copying of text or diagrams or concepts from other sources, internet or other students work. Calculate the wind loads on the main stage elements and discuss methods for resisting and managing wind loading; through analysis of the relationship between form and wind loading.

10

Please be remembered that plagiarism is not allowed and once found assignments will be rejected irrespective of at what progress stage and even after EV stage.

11

Students are advised that the only way to fight plagiarism are:

a

use your own words to write the answers or

b

you may make references to other sources but must change to your own words and make the citations and

quote the sources in that paragraph whenever you are making reference from other sources.

c

also prior to submitting assignments for marking, students must submit through the VeriGuide and attach a

similarity report that has <25% similarity. Such a <25% report does not mean that direct copying or a partial copying just by changing a few words can be accepted without citations and references.

12

If you do not know what to do or you need assistance on the VeriGuide or need tutorial, you are welcomed to come to contact the college. We have special tutorial class to assist students to tackle their assignments on every Saturday from 2 to 5 pm by the Principal Lecturers and on prior arrangement with the Unit Lecturers after 9pm from

Mondays and Fridays.

Learning Outcomes (LO) or Assessment Criteria (AC). If not sure, Please clarify with the Assessor or the Internal verifier.

Students and markers must ensure all the P1 to P12 etc must be answered and assessed prior to submitting to HKCE or moving to the next stage.

Where the questions ask for UK or overseas laws, regulations or standards or cops, students should answer the HK and local regulations, laws and cops unless the quoted overseas laws and standards are also applicable in HK.

Assignment Brief and Guidance

You are working for a structural engineering and design firm that specialises in the design and installation of large-scale temporary structure for events. The firm has been commissioned to design a large outdoor stage for the Ardent Music Festival. The Ardent Music Festival takes place in Lincolnshire over a two-week period, with a range of different music genres represented during the festival.

The main stage is to be a combination of large, solid features (such as large LED panel screens and PA towers) and space frame construction. As the site of the Ardent Festival is a large, windswept, open field, the effect of wind loading on the main stage is a concern. As the festival runs for an extended period, the design of the stage (while temporary) must ensure extended safety and security against wind-loading, weathering, vibration, live and dead loading.

In addition to the main stage design, the festival organisers have asked your firm to design a series of small-scale tensile structures. This is to be a standard design that can be used for a range of different purposes; such as to house food and drink concessions, merchandise sales, first aid facilities, etc.).

As a structural design technician, you are responsible for the initial design and detailing of the main stage and the design of the tensile structure. The lead structural engineer has requested that you prepare a structural report for the main stage and tensile structure. The report should:

• Calculate the wind loads on the main stage elements and discuss methods for resisting and managing wind loading; through analysis of the relationship between form and wind loading. Calculate the size and type of lateral stiffening that will be required for the main stage elements.
• Calculate bending and shear in the different structural elements of the main stage and determine the deflection. Evaluate structural connections and discuss the relationship between bending, shear and deflection. To advise the design team, critically evaluate different materials and their effectiveness in dealing with bending, shear and deflection.
• Calculate the axial load capacity of the vertical column elements of the stage, particularly where eccentric loading may be present. Calculate the axial load capacity of the reinforced concrete foundations that will be required to support the stage in the field, and prepare the design information (drawings, details, etc) for the foundations and columns; discussing the benefit of using BIM in the design process. Assess the most effective foundation types, in relation to speed of construction, cost, safety and environment.
• Discuss the differences between different types of tensile structures that may be used in the festival. To justify the choice of type and design of the tensile structure solution you will need to undertake calculations and compare the different solutions and provide drawings, details and specifications.

Instructions and guidance to candidates

Note: All information sources and resources, including websites used to complete this assignment must be stated and correctly referenced in the document and/or presentation. No credit will be given for wholesale copying from information sources and checks for plagiarism may be made on your submitted work.
