CPCCBC4010 - Apply structural principles to residential and commercial constructions

Assessment tasks will be designed to reinforce & extend knowledge and skill competence within set & controlled parameters in accordance with each unit’s learning outcomes & performance criteria requirements, including the setting of work based practical application tasks designed to provide evidence of competence outcomes, within periodic and scheduled timelines.

Students will be expected to demonstrate the following required skills:
*a candidate must meet the elements and performance criteria of this unit by applying structural principles to the construction of one building project.
In doing this, the candidate must:
*assess the structural integrity of the construction project
*apply technical construction principles and concepts to the appropriate selection, integration and building of construction elements and components
*coordinate, plan, implement and check the construction of the structure
*plan and document the structural principles of the construction of a building.

Students will also be expected to demonstrate the following knowledge:
*government building and construction legislation and regulations
*industry building and construction standards and codes
*the NCC
*classes of buildings described in the NCC
*standards and codes for timber framing
*structural principles:

• behaviour of structural materials
• dead, live and wind loads
• performance of beams
• performance of columns
• performance of roof trusses
• section properties

• hand cut timber
  *roof types:
• box gable
• dual pitch

• gable end
• hip and valley
• north light
• skillion
• rafter and purlin
  *roof cladding:
• concrete, clay and metal tiles
• shakes and shingles
• short and long run, various profile and metal sheeting
  *AAC floor and wall systems
  *causes and implications of structural detects related to failure of applying structural principles to residential and commercial buildings
  *extent of remedial work required for various defects cause by inadequate design and application of structural principles.
