To carry out a complete design of steel structure for an elevated water tank (CO3-PO6).
To solve a real engineering problem (CO3-PO6).
To demonstrate effective team role and responsibility in the task execution.
Be able to present the finding using appropriate method.

Scenario
You are a Consultant Engineer in Berjaya Jururunding Sdn. Bhd. and are given a task on structural steel design
project. The duty of your team is to provide a complete design of an elevated water tank for water supply to
four different residential areas. Figure 1 shows the plan view and Figures 2-3 show the side views of the
elevated water tank, respectively. The required length of the primary beams (B1 and B2), secondary beams (B2)
and columns (C1 and C2) are as specified Figures 1-3 and Table 1. Also shown in the figures and Table 1 are the
height of the water tank (H) and spacing of the secondary beams (s). Calculations for loadings involved are
shown in the appendix. Prepare a comprehensive technical report that includes the selection of sizes, list of
material properties and design calculations for this project.

Objectives
This activity requires your team to analyse the forces acting on the steel structure, do complete analysis and
checking in order to propose the suitable sizes for primary and secondary steel beams and column members,
and also the beam-column connection design according to EC3.

Assessment
Assessment is based on a report writing and oral presentation of the findings. The report must be hand-written
on design sheet as given in i-learn. Oral presentation (with slides) must be given in short video. Arrangement of
report writing and oral presentation must be in sequence according to the design steps and calculations. Both
report (hard copy) and video (soft copy) must be submitted by 25th September 2016.

Notes: 1. Loadings on primary and secondary beams B2 are from permanent and variable actions.
2. Loadings on primary beams B1 are from secondary beams B2 only.
3. Use steel grade of S275 or S355 only in the design calculations.
4. All assumptions for design calculations must be stated in the report and on calculation sheets.
