1. Scope of work
A multi-story hotel building is proposed at Hong Kong, with usages tabulated as follows:
Layout plans of the proposed building and relevant information are shown in Appendix C.
Your group acts as a consultant firm and give design report and presentation to the client, with duties
assigned in Appendix A to prepare the follows:
a) Design Report: to work with your group members to prepare a viable scheme for superstructure
and present your recommendation to the Client for their decision;
In the report, your team as a whole need to address the following scenario:
“Before commencement of construction works, the Client wants to change usage of the whole
inaccessible flat roof area at the 5/F to greenery roof. The load capacity required for the greenery roof
area is not less than 5kPa. Your team is required to carry out a feasibility study and prepare a report
(no more than 2 single-sided A4 pages) to the client to describe the implication on the existing design
of superstructure.”
b) Presentation: to prepare your own in-depth presentation with the assigned duties of individual group
member on one of the recommended scheme.
Remark: Group marks will be given as a whole on each task based on details of sketch/framing,
workability of the schemes, problem identified, suggested solutions, construction sequences etc.
The group members should distribute workloads among themselves.
2. Requirements
For the Design Report, relevant drawings/documents for the recommended scheme should be provided.
Information required to be shown on the drawings is listed in Appendix B. Essential information of the
building plan and relevant information is attached in Appendix C.

3. Presentations
Design Presentation (Week 13)
Each group will spend NOT more than 20 minutes # for the presentation of design report. Then,
each group will have 10 minutes for Q&A session. Marks will be given to individual person and group.
# In order to avoid affecting performance of later groups, the presentation will be terminated
immediately, if time is up.

Appendix A
Appendix B
One hard copy and one electronic copy (in one single PDF file to be sent to the subject lecturers by email)
of the report should be submitted together with the drawings (report at double line spacing in A4 size,
and drawings in A3 size) on the timetable.
Sophisticated analyzing techniques and commercial software packages may be used as necessary in this
project.
The design report should include the contents as listed below. (NOT more than 20 mm thick):
Design Team
➢ Name – duties of each group member;
➢ Signature of each group member.
Design Data
➢ Materials specifications.
Superstructure System
➢ Design loads – gravity, wind loads and basic load cases;
➢ Description of the systems (vertical load transfer system and lateral load resisting system);
➢ Design assumptions;
➢ Calculation of member sizing of critical elements for the scheme;
Drawings (Optional)
Drawings (using any software and presentation methods) should be single-sided in A3 size but not limited
to as follows:
➢ General notes of design codes and references, material specifications and workmanship specifications,
etc.
➢ Wind model/wind frame for information;
➢ General arrangements of superstructure and associated sections ;
➢ Framing / General Arrangement plans with critical structural member sizes and sections;

Design Requirements
Loadings
For Superimposed Dead Load, (including finishes, partitions and E&M services), please refer to the
followings:
➢ Finish thickness at Shop, Office and Plant Rooms to be 50mm
➢ Finish thickness at Landscape and Flat Roof to be 100mm
➢ Loading allowed for E&M services and false ceiling to be 1.0kPa
➢ Loading allowed for partition at Shop and Office to be 2.0kPa
➢ Loading allowed for staircase to be 7.0kPa
➢ Live load for Hotel Room to be 2.0kPa
➢ Live load for Fitness Room to be 4.0kPa
➢ Live load for Lift Machine Room and Lift Pit to be 20.0kPa
➢ Live load for Cooling Towers to be 10.0kPa
➢ Self-weight of curtain wall to be 1.0kPa on elevation

and topographic effects is not required. There is no unusual shaped or complicated topography/surrounding.
Wind tunnel test is not required.
Foundation
Foundation design is not required. Bedrock of moderately strong granite is located at the floor level of G/F
(+4.25m).
Headroom requirement
Lounge, Restaurant, Meeting/Multi-function rooms, Kitchen, Canteen, Toilets, Fitness rooms, Hotel
Guest rooms and Plant Rooms –
a. Clear Headroom = 2500mm
b. E&M zones = 500mm
