This report summarizes a site visit to a construction project building 42 terraced houses. Key points include: - The project is estimated to cost 11 million Malaysian ringgit and take 1.5 years to complete. - Concrete framed structures use columns, beams, and slabs made of grade 25 concrete reinforced with steel rebar. - Materials observed on site included formwork, bricks, zinc doors/windows, and plumbing pipes. - The visit provided first-hand experience of construction processes and safety practices like wearing helmets.

INTRODUCTION
This is an integrated assignment that lead by the 3 main
modules - Building Materials,Construction Technology 1 &
Measurement1. Students are required to describe,explain &
understand the method and processof construction in accordance
to the sequence of work on site after a visit to the construction site.
Students are essential to study & research on a Concrete
Framed Buildingas well as the items in the site which that are
considered as concrete frame and the materials involved in
constructing a concrete framed structure in order to fulfill the
requirements of this report.

By this opportunity had given I have paid a visit to an actual
construction site which located at the address given above. The
objective of this construction project is to build a quantity of 42 units
terraced house. It is consideras a moderate size of construction
projectby looking at the consumption of working hour, labor cost &
construction fees to accomplishthis project.
With the given information by the projectmanager of this
construction project - Mr. LIM, we’ve fully understand the whole
estimation of the construction spending was projected at 11 million

ringgit Malaysia. He also predicted that the entire construction
projectwill be complete within the duration of one and a half year.

CONTENT
Concrete framed structure are regarded as one of the most
commonlyused type of frame structure. Such type of building
actually consists of a frame / skeleton of concrete.Its vertical
elements are classified as columns moreoverits horizontal
elements are defined as beams.
• Items that are capable to be classified as concrete frame are :
I. COLUMN
Column are apart of the vertical elements that exist in the concreted
framed structure which can be found on the site. Concrete column
is an important part of the structural integrity of a building. In fact, it
is commonfora concrete column to carry part of a structural load.
This means that the column is used to keep the building from
collapsing or shifting in a way that could cause damage to the
overall structure.

ii. NON - SUSPENDED BEAM & SUSPENDED BEAM
Beam are classified as apart of the Horizontal elements within the
concrete framed structure. Suspended beam are designed to
supportbrick as well as to permanently forming a shutter to the
edge of insitu concrete floor slab whereas suspended beam are the
one that located on the upper level / floor.

iii. NON - SUSPENDED SLAB & SUSPENDED SLAB
A concrete slab that spans the space between columns, posts, or
walls, in contrast to the concrete slab in a floating
floor that is mechanically isolated from, and supported by,
the structural slab.Suspendedslabs are slabs that are not in direct
contact with the ground. They form roofs or floors above ground
level.

MATERIALS INVOLVED
• CONCRETE GRADE25
According to the speech of Mr. Lim, the grade of concrete that used
for the whole concrete framed structures are Grade 25 concrete.
The characteristic compressive strengthof concrete cube of

16. 16
150mm X150mmX150mmtested at the end of 28 days should be
minimum 25 N/Sq.mm. The mix proportions of cement, sand &
coarse aggregate for concrete Grande 25 is 1 : 1 : 2.
• REINFORCEMENT CONCRETE ( RCC )
Reinforced CementConcrete is a combination of concrete and
steel to build a structure instead of using only concrete. Concrete is
good in resisting compressionbut is very weak in resisting tension.
On the other hand, steel has high tensile strength and the bond
between steeland concrete is good. So both parties are beneficial
to each other.
• FORMWORK
Formwork comes during the construction of reinforced
concrete works as well as their maintenance, we need to support
the structure as long as it is in its premature state or plastic state as
it could not even bear its own load. Afterthe suitable duration of
time, i.e. when concrete sets enough to take its own load, these
temporary supports are removed systematically.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
• ZINC METAL
By using metal doorand window frames we are becoming
environmentally friend because we save many trees which are
required to be cut for making these frames thus we are not
contributing to this loss of habitat.

• BRICKWORK
According to Mr. Lim, the entire terrace house has only been
constructing by clay & concrete bricks. Clay bricks been used as a
separation wall in between the neighbors house due to its
characteristics of fire insulation by minimize the possible lossesof
life & propertyresulting by fire ; meanwhile concrete bricks are
being chosen due to its low pricing which rougly cost only RM 20 for
one ; whereas Clay bricks costapproximately RM 4.20 for one.

CONCLUSION
Last but not least, the site visit truly offers me a better exposure
& wider vision of construction’s knowledge. By that, I am absolutely
capable to understand the basics of the construction process and
witness the usage of construction equipment’s on site including
mechanical plants.
It’s my primary experience of visiting and exploring a real
construction site personally. Apart from that, I’m able to witness
various types of building materials and technologyon the cite with
my naked eyes.
Furthermore, before entering the construction site, Mr Lim has
offered each of us a safety helmet, I’m truly appreciate the efforts of
Mr Lim because such helmet are capable to protect the safeness
our head and minimize the possibilityof involving in a accidental
injury or accident.

In addition, the actual condition of the constructionsite are
extremely uncomfortable.The weather of the side will be in a
extreme condition due to the climate of Malaysia is hot and humid
throughout the whole year. Any construction worker are required to
to contain a healthy & strong physical and mental in order to obtain
high work efficiency.
In short, I’m thankful for the guidance and leadership of Ms Ang,
Ms Azrina and Ms Aishah. It’s such a memorable site visit which I
would never slip of my mind.
