Design Project 1 manage spatial information about the land, the oceans, natural resources, and man-made features. Hydrological data: Hydrology plays a crucial role in the design and construction of bridges, particularly in areas where water bodies such as rivers, streams, or lakes are present. Overall, hydrology is a critical component of bridge engineering, ensuring that bridges are designed to safely and effectively interact with the water bodies they span. Meteorological data: Meteorological data, including wind speed, direction, and gust factors, are crucial in determining the wind loads that a bridge may experience. This information is used to design the structural elements of the bridge to withstand wind forces. Geotechnical Data: Geotechnical data is critical in the design, construction, and maintenance of bridges. It provides information about the soil and rock conditions at the site of the bridge, which is crucial for ensuring the stability and safety of the structure Cultural and Heritage Data: Cultural and heritage data is a crucial consideration in the construction of a bridge, especially in areas where there may be significant historical, cultural, or archaeological sites nearby. By incorporating cultural and heritage data into the construction process, engineers and project stakeholders can demonstrate respect for the historical and cultural significance of the area, while also meeting regulatory requirements and building positive relationships with local communities Legislation and policies and procedures Outline the legislation, and policies and procedures that applies to your work in managing civil works • Building and Construction Industry (Improving Productivity) Act 2016 • The Project Development and Construction Management Act 1994 • Work Health and Safety Act 2011 2 | Page RIICWD601E: Manage civil works design processes Design Project 2 v1.0 October 2023 South Sydney College (SSC) |RTO 45279 |CRICOS 03648B

Design Project 1 design. Make sure you refer to WHS legislation. Include at least two legislation and two policies and procedures. Risk management Outline the risks that could apply to this project (include at least two) and associated control measures. Traffic Management: If the bridge is being constructed over a roadway, implement traffic management plans to ensure the safety of both workers and the traveling public. Weather and Environmental Conditions: Monitor weather forecasts and consider seasonal factors that could impact construction, such as rain, flooding, or extreme temperatures. Client requirements Based on your review of the documentation above, provide a summary of the client requirements for the project and the work you need to complete. Has all the information been provided such that a design can be developed? This includes detailed specifications and development and implementation factors. If not, what are the gaps? ● Aesthetic The specifications provided by the customer for the construction of a 100-foot-long truss bridge pertain to the aesthetic features and design components that the client hopes would improve the bridge's visual attractiveness and harmony with the surrounding area. Even while a bridge's main purpose is to bring traffic across an obstacle safely and effectively, aesthetics have taken on more significance in bridge design, particularly in metropolitan and beautiful regions where bridges have a big visual impact. ● Long Life Span When a client requests a 100-foot-long truss bridge with an extended lifespan, they are highlighting the significance of the bridge structure's resistance, longevity, and durability. If the bridge is to remain safe, functional, and require little maintenance over time, longevity is an essential factor to take into account. Here are key aspects to consider in addressing a client's requirement for a long lifespan: -Material Selection -Design Life Considerations -Quality Construction Practices -Maintenance Planning -Compliance with Standards Environmental impacts Provide a summary of the potential environmental ● Water Quality and Sedimentation: Runoff from construction sites can introduce sediments and pollutants into nearby water bodies, impacting water quality. 3 | Page RIICWD601E: Manage civil works design processes Design Project 2 v1.0 October 2023 South Sydney College (SSC) |RTO 45279 |CRICOS 03648B

Conduct some research and document two innovative procedures that could be used to develop the design concept. One of the procedures must relate to a new technology for civil works design. Provide the sources of information you used on the innovative procedures. 1. Smart Reinforcement Systems: Utilize smart reinforcement systems, such as shape-sensing technologies embedded in reinforcement bars, to monitor the condition of concrete structures and identify potential areas of concern. Shape Sensing - FBGS https://youtu.be/XmDbSO9aZkc 2. Self-Healing Concrete Innovative new construction materials for bridges: New construction materials are emerging in the field of civil engineering. One of the most innovative construction materials considered today for bridge design is self-healing concrete. Through the life-cycle of concrete and due to the various loads occurring in bridges, concrete is prone to cracking. However, new concrete mixtures that include limestone-producing bacteria are being developed which fill the cracks as they form. This new innovative technology can prevent costly damages that can occur if cracks in concrete are not filled or repaired Top 5 New Advanced Technologies for Bridge Design (midasbridge.com) 3. Prefabrication and Modular Construction: 5 | Page RIICWD601E: Manage civil works design processes Design Project 2 v1.0 October 2023 South Sydney College (SSC) |RTO 45279 |CRICOS 03648B

Design Project 1 Opt for prefabrication and modular construction techniques to build components off-site. This approach can reduce construction time, minimize on-site disruptions, and improve the overall efficiency of the reconstruction. Prefabrication and modular construction - Technology Cards Design concepts Based on the work that you have completed so far, identify and document at least two possible design concepts that could meet the design requirements. Make sure you explain how this meets specification, including engineering specifications. In the next section you will prepare a working model so at this stage your design concepts can be descriptions. Design Concept: Gothic Arch Bridge Designing a bridge with a historical concept involves drawing inspiration from architectural styles, construction methods, and materials used in different historical periods. ● The bridge will incorporate pointed arches, a hallmark of Gothic architecture. These arches not only provide structural stability but also add a sense of verticality and grace to the bridge. ● To evoke the solidity and timelessness of historical Gothic structures, the bridge will be constructed using durable materials such as stone or modern equivalents that mimic the appearance of stone. This choice not only aligns with historical aesthetics but also ensures longevity. ● Lantern-style Lighting: Illuminate the bridge with lantern-style lighting fixtures that complement the historical theme. These fixtures can be designed to resemble traditional Gothic lanterns, adding a warm and atmospheric glow to the bridge at night. Pratt Truss Bridge The Pratt truss is a structural system with horizontal, vertical and diagonals members which can carry loads with relatively long spans compared to beams. It’s mainly used as bridge structure carrying traffic and dead load and distributing it to its supports. It’s characterized by its diagonal members, which are inclined with the same angles. This pattern of diagonal and vertical truss members leads to that the loads are evenly distributed across the truss. 6 | Page RIICWD601E: Manage civil works design processes Design Project 2 v1.0 October 2023 South Sydney College (SSC) |RTO 45279 |CRICOS 03648B
