  2. Soil structure and earthworks. Types of soil and properties, angles of repose (refractory index), excavations and deep trenching, cut & fill, retaining walls.
  3. Foundation design. Historic and modern types, shallow foundations and mixes, strength and testing of concrete, construction of strip footings, reinforcing, solutions for poor soil conditions and remedial work on foundations.
  4. Historical overview of architecture in the early Cape. Cultural origins, the first buildings and methods, building materials used, structures and plan-layouts, development of the cape Dutch style.

 

Format

This CPD is presented in a correspondence format. The participant will receive the presentation and accompanying notes in a PDF format by e-mail on the starting date. The course must be completed within 14 days. This will enable the participants to work at their own pace, and to move between slides and notes to and fro for better understanding. No need to be at a computer at any specific time, and will use less than 40Mb data. Questions may be submitted by e-mail. A short questionnaire has to be completed at the end to ascertain that the participant has worked through the material and has understood it. When studied properly, this CPD is the equivalent of a one day event.

Objectives

The aim of this CPD event is to equip designers with a basic knowledge of disciplines involved at the start of a project which are not often taught, but are of special value to the designer. Although it is basic in approach, it could serve as a refresher for those designers with higher formal training as well. The CPD will also give a better understanding of the surveyor and engineer’s disciplines on site.This CPD will address the basic principles of surveying sites, and understanding soil properties and dynamics underlying SANS 10400 Parts F, G and H as well as SANS 2001: CM2. It will also give a short overview of the beginnings of architecture in South Africa.
