Introduction and Background of
Project
÷ Ún the 18th August 2010 we have site visit at Bandar Seri
Iskandar (PUNCAK ISKANDAR), Mukim Bota, Daerah
Tengah, Perak Darul Ridzuan. We were greeted by Encik
Azrul Nizam who has been waiting with dashing smile on
his face. He represents the architect and also happens to be
the Executive Producer of this project. We had our chance
to have an interview with him where we get to know more
on the background of the project, the role and
responsibilities of parties involved in that project, types of
foundation system used for that project, construction plant
and equipments used in that project and other new
knowledge relate with that project.
÷ The site happens to be in the Seri Iskandar Projectǯs
second phase and known as Puncak Iskandar Site.
SIDEC, the first phase in the Seri Iskandar Pproject is
situated beside the MARA University of Technology.
This second phase is the largest phase to be planned by
the government of Perak. It is recently found that
Bandar Seri Iskandar is the second largest city to date
after Ipoh. Its completion is estimated in 20 years time
and the cost of project is around RM 6.2 million.

The roles and responsibilities of
parties involved in the project
÷ Client / Developer
The owner of the site will employ various professionals
to design and construct a building on their land. For
the purposes of this example assume that the owner is
not a member of the construction industry and that
they need to employ other people to do the design and
construction work.
÷ Architect
Person who practices the profession of architecture
and is registrable under the Architects Law 1967.
÷ Engineer
Design and provide plans for authority approval.
Supervise the Engineering works from the beginning
until the completion of the works.
÷ Quantity Surveyor
Involves in taking-off the building project and
compiles the data in Bill of Quantities.
÷ Land Surveyor
Carries out boundary and contour surveys and others
surveys on land. Submits survey plans for approval.
÷ Contractor
In a traditional building contract, the building contractor is
employed by the owner to construct a building according to
the plans and specifications prepared by the owner's
architect.

The contractor has a direct contractual relationship with

the owner and will then enter into sub-contracts with other
builders who will carry out the work. If the employer is
allowed to choose who will be the sub-contractors, these
sub-contractors are called 'nominated sub-contractors'. In
other building contracts, the main contractor will be
responsible to select the sub-contractors who are called
'domestic sub-contractors'.
÷ Town Planner
covers land use, zoning, density, the type and form of
developers, traffic pattern, infra-structural
requirements, impact of developers

÷ Landscape Architect
Involves in beautification of the project internally and or
externally by using plants of all kinds, rocks and other
suitable materials and structures.
Types of foundation system used
on the site
÷ Type of foundation system used in the site was pad
footing based on the land structure.
÷ This type of foundation uses Reinforcement Concrete
piling measured 125mm by 125mm during the
construction.
÷ Further explanation on Pad Foundation

It is a structure reinforced concrete slab that support a

number of columns distributed in both horizontal
directions or that supports uniform pressure as from
tank.
÷ Un-reinforcement pad foundation
÷ The design method of un-reinforcement and
reinforcement concrete pad foundation is similar in
principle to those described in the preceding pages for
strip foundation. Thus the minimum size of the pad is
given by the practical requirement of being able to
excavate by hand to the requirement depth and level
off the bottom and to lay brick or fix steel wood for the
columns. The thickness of Un-reinforcement concrete
pad foundation is given by the necessity of preventing
development of tension on the underside of the base
or reducing it to a small value. The consideration for
determining the choice of stepped or sloping
foundation or a plain rectangular section are the same
as those describe for strip foundation
÷ Reinforced pad foundation
÷ Parameter:
÷ Method of design is as follow:
÷ Determine the base area of the foundation by dividing
the total loads of the column and base by the allowable
bearing pressure on the soil.
÷ Determine the overall depth of the foundation required
by punching shear, based on the column loads.
÷ Select the type of foundation to be used, i.e. simple slab,
sloping upper surface. Assume dimension of the slope.
÷ Check the dimension by computing beam shear stress at
critical section, on the basics that diagonal shear
reinforcement should not be provided.
÷ Compute bending moment and design the
reinforcement.
÷ Check bond stresses in steel.
÷ Calculation of required thickness of pad to resist
punching shear.
÷ Continuous pad and beam foundation
÷ This foundation is a row of column as a row of pad
foundation with only a joint between each pad.
Continuous beam foundation may be required to bridge
over weak pockets in the soil or to prevent excessive
differential settlement between adjacent columns. The
advantages of using this foundation are ease of
excavation by backhoe or other machine; any formwork
required can be fabricated and assembled in longer
lengths; and there is improve continuity and ease of
access for concreting the foundation; added advantage
of providing strip foundation for panel walls of the
ground floor of multi-story framed building.
Construction plant and equipment
use on the site
÷ Dump Truck

÷ A dump truck is a truck used for transporting loose

material (such as sand, gravel, or dirt) for construction. A
typical dump truck is equipped with a hydraulically
operated open-box bed hinged at the rear, the front of
which can be lifted up to allow the contents to be deposited
on the ground behind the truck at the site of delivery. In
the UK and Australia the term applies to off-road
construction plant only, and the road vehicle is known as a
tipper, tipper lorry or tip truck.
Dump Truck
÷ Crane
A crane is a lifting machine, generally equipped with
a winder (also called a wire rope drum), wire ropes or
chains and sheaves, that can be used both to lift and
lower materials and to move them horizontally. It uses
one or more simple machines to create mechanical
advantage and thus move loads beyond the normal
capability of a human. Cranes are commonly employed
in the transport industry for the loading and
unloading of freight, in the construction industry for
the movement of materials and in the manufacturing
industry for the assembling of heavy equipment.
Crane
÷ Excavators
Excavators are heavy equipment consisting of a boom,
bucket and cab on a rotating platform (known as the
"house"). The house sits atop an undercarriage with
tracks or wheels. All movement and functions of the
excavator are accomplished through the use of
hydraulic fluid, be it with rams or motors. Their design
is a natural progression from the steam shovel
Excavators
÷ Tilting Drum
A concrete mixer (also commonly called a cement
mixer) is a device that homogeneously combines
cement, aggregate such as sand or gravel, and water to
form concrete. A typical concrete mixer uses a
revolving drum to mix the components. For smaller
volume works portable concrete mixers are often used
so that the concrete can be made at the construction
site, giving the workers ample time to use the concrete
before it hardens. An alternative to a machine is
mixing concrete or cement by hand. This is usually
done in a wheelbarrow; however, several companies
have recently begun to sell modified tarps for this
purpose.
Tilting Drum
Ready-Mix Concrete Truck
÷ Ready-mix concrete is usually delivered by trucks with rotating
drum mixers. Drum mixer trucks are designed with a pair of
blades that spin one way to mix the concrete, and then can spin
the opposite direction to release the mixture. Although most
concrete mixer trucks discharge concrete from the back, newer
trucks feature front-discharge chutes. These front-discharge
trucks require less maneuvering to place the concrete in the
correct location.

÷ Types of plant mixers include: tilt drum mixer, horizontal shaft

mixers, pan mixers and slurry mixers. Tilt drum mixers are the
most common and are known for their efficiency. Horizontal
shaft mixers are good for producing higher-quality concrete
products because of their powerful blending capabilities.

Other information during site visit
that you get
Úther information gather during the site visit was
steps taken throughout the construction project. The
course of action taken concludes:
1. Soil Investigation
÷ Mackintosh Probe

÷ Boring

÷ Earth bearing pressure

2. Pilling
÷ Reinforcement Concrete Pile ( RC Pile )
Pile are relative long and slender members used to
transmit loads through soil strata having a high bearing
capacity to deeper soil or rock strata having a high bearing
capacity. Also used in normal soil to resist heavy uplift
forces or in poor soil conditions to resist horizontal loads.
Classification - if the stratum for foundation piles is a hard
and relatively impenetrable material such as rock or a very
dense sand and gravel, the piles derive most of their
carrying capacity from the resistance of the stratum at the
toe of the pile. Having decided that piling is necessary, the
engineer must make a choice from a Varity of types and
sizes. It has already been noted that there is usually only
one type of pile which is satisfactory for any particular site
conditions.
3. Foundation
÷ Pad foundation
It is a structure reinforced concrete slab that support a
number of columns distributed in both horizontal
directions or that supports uniform pressure as from tank.
÷ Pile caps
Design for pile caps - pile caps must therefore be of ample
dimension to allow them to accommodate piles which
deviate from their intended position. The pile caps should
be deep enough to ensure stability against lateral forces.
Minimum pile for isolate pile group should at least 3 piles.
A pile cap with 2 piles should be connected to the tie beams
to adjacent caps. The heads of reinforcement concrete piles
should be strip down and the projection reinforcement
bonded into the pile cap to give the required bond length.

Benefits that you gained from the
site visit
÷ We now possess the ability to identify various trades
and elements involved in building construction and
the parties involved in the construction industry. Next,
we can explain and differentiate the types and
methods of construction specifically on shallow
foundation and wall, construction plant and site and
soil investigation.
÷ Last but not least, we have the ability to compare types
and properties of building material and interpret
construction drawings.
Conclusion
÷ Similarly to the construction project, we have our own
duties and role in the group work. The distribution of
load is to promote efficiency in doing research and
problem solving. Besides that, the time taken for the
assignment has given us the chance to improve our
communication skills between friends thus
consolidate our newly found friendship and improve
the bond between us students and our lecturer.
