QUESTION 3 In line with the Government aspiration to promote the usage of IBS in the construction industry, a showcase of single storey exhibition centre has been built by Ahmad Zaki Resources Berhad (AZRB) in Putrajaya. Based on the considerations of buildability and economy, the construction concept developed consists of: Structural Systems Columns Beams Floor Roof truss Wall System External walls Internal walls

In-situ columns using reusable system formworks Precast beams Timber Framing Flooring System Prefabricated timber roof truss.

Blockwork System Dry Wall system

With reference to the information given, floor plans as shown in Appendix 1 and Table 1, 2 and 3 (Appendix 2); calculate the IBS Score for the project. You may make any necessary assumption. (20 marks) ii) Singapore has successfully adopted and legislated the minimum Buildability Score which is equivalent to IBS Score in Malaysia. From your point of view, state whether you agree if our country takes the same step as what Singapore did and give reasons to support your opinion. (5 marks)

With the aid of suitable illustrations, propose the following:i) A suitable technique of restoring and preserving the original fa?ade whilst demolition work proceed to the rest of the building, ii) A suitable demolition method used in this project, iii) A comprehensive pre-demolition checklists for this project and explain the safety precautions required for this project. (16 marks)

QUESTION 2 a) Deterioration of the building elements happened through natural process which may be unavoidable. Selection of suitable materials can minimize the risk of building elements to be deteriorated. Explain five (5) main criteria that should be considered by designer in selecting the materials. (10 marks) You are required to carry out inspection processes on the condition of flat roof at Block C, Faculty of Architecture, Planning and Surveying, Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM), Shah Alam, Selangor.

QUESTION 3 a) Maintenance starts on the day the builder leaves the site. Design, materials, workmanship, function, use and their interrelationships, will determine the amount of maintenance required during the lifetime of building. However, in the developing countries like Malaysia, building maintenance has often been delayed or neglected as the focus is more on new developments. i) Define "building maintenance". (3 marks) ii) Describe why building owners need to develop a building maintenance planning in their properties. (10 marks) b) Maintenance policy is a strategic statement of what level of maintenance is required in order to keep the assets of an organization in an operational condition. There are large number of factors that could have an effect on the scope and application of a maintenance policy. Explain in detail six (6) factors that could influenced the extent to which the maintenance policy is developed and then implemented. (12 marks)

1) Precast concrete slabs include half slab, hollow core slab, and precast prestressed planks. 2) Precast concrete includes products of factory precasting, site precasting or the use of tiltup systems. 3) Reusable formworks include plastic, fibreglass, steel, aluminium and other metal formworks that can be used not less than 20 cycles. 4) Timber formwork means the timber components are sized, cut and fabricated in-situ to form the formworks and the required temporary works. 5) For structural system using Load Bearing Wall, whether precast or in-situ, the factor can be determined from the table by treating the wall as a wide column. 6) The IBS factor for tunnel formwork system is 0.6. 7) Load-bearing blockwork include interlocking block, concrete masonry unit, hollow block and lightweight concrete. 8) This is for structures without floor. 9) For other structural systems not mentioned in the table please refer to IBS Centre, CIDB for the IBS Factor.

TABLE 1 A: IBS Factor for Roof Structural Systems

Notes: 1) Precut means the metal section are cut and sized in factory but assembled in-situ. 2) Timber roof trusses means timber components are cut, sized and fabricated in-situ to form formworks and the required temporary works.
