This document outlines the methodology for conducting an acoustic analysis of the SOCSO Rehabilitation Centre in Melaka, Malaysia. It includes measuring the existing acoustic conditions in the gymnasium and physiotherapy rooms to evaluate noise levels. Data will be collected using a sound level meter and drawings of the spaces. The findings will then be analyzed against acoustic standards to determine any issues and recommend solutions to improve the acoustic quality and user comfort. Precedent studies of other building acoustic analyses are also referenced to inform the methodology.
The document describes a design competition entry for the "R" Building at Rektorat & FSRD Kete' Team in 2005.

This document provides an introduction and literature review on concrete filled steel tube (CFST) columns. Some key points:
1) CFST columns utilize the advantages of both steel and concrete by using a steel hollow section filled with concrete. They are widely used in building construction.
2) Previous research has shown CFST columns have improved structural performance due to confinement of the concrete core by the steel tube. They also have construction advantages due to their simple erection sequence.
3) The literature review covers the behavior of CFST under different load cases like axial, bending, and combined loads. It also discusses design concepts, analytical methods, and codes/standards for CFST columns.

classrooms and other rooms offer not only enough space for all the potential
activities in the medical faculty, but also will easy the services offered in it.
37. CONCLUSION (Cont’d)
The building was designed taking the precaution avoiding that the ventilation in
the building would necessitate the air conditioning equipment, the proposed
building also fulfils the Structural integrity to keep the users free from the
accidents, to ensure the safety, the reinforced cement concrete design to
British standard and Euro code 2 has been done manually and verified by
reliable computer programs. The Architectural specifications were also
followed to avoid accidents and satisfy the needs of the building users. All the
considered criteria lead the project to be economical.
