TYPES OF EVIDENCE The RTO ensures that assessment is carried out in accordance with the requirements of the unit and the standards and will implement an assessment process which identifies the evidence required for each unit of competency. They will identify the type of evidence and the assessment methods used. Types of evidence include: Direct Evidence – things that the assessor, observes first-hand, e.g., observation or work samples Indirect Evidence – things that someone else has observed and reported to us, e.g., third party reports Supplementary Evidence – other things that can indicate performance, such as training records, questions, written work, portfolios Assessment methods may include but are not limited to: Written Activity Case Study Observation/Demonstration Practical Activity Questions Third Party Report Assessment must comply with the assessment methods of the training package and be conducted in accordance with the Principles of Assessment and assessment conditions. This means the assessment must be fair, flexible, reliable and valid. 2023 T3 RIICWD601E Assignment 1 & 2 4 | P a g e

ASSESSMENT INFORMATION FOR STUDENTS Throughout your training we are committed to your learning by providing a training and assessment framework that ensures the knowledge gained through training is translated into practical on the job improvements. You are going to be assessed for: Your skills and knowledge using written and observation activities that apply to the workplace. Your ability to apply your learning. Your ability to recognize common principles and actively use these on the job. All of your assessment and training is provided as a positive learning tool. Your assessor will guide your learning and provide feedback on your responses to the assessment materials until you have been deemed competent in this unit. HOW YOU WILL BE ASSESSED The process we follow is known as competency-based assessment. This means that evidence of your current skills and knowledge will be measured against national standards of best practice, not against the learning you have undertaken either recently or in the past. Some of the assessment will be concerned with how you apply your skills and knowledge in the workplace, and some in the training room as required by each unit. The assessment tasks have been designed to enable you to demonstrate the required skills and knowledge and produce the critical evidence to successfully demonstrate competency at the required standard. Your assessor will ensure that you are ready for assessment and will explain the assessment process. Your assessment tasks will outline the evidence to be collected and how it will be collected, for example, a written activity, case study, or demonstration and observation. The assessor will also have determined if you have any special needs to be considered during assessment. Changes can be made to the way assessment is undertaken to account for special needs and this is called making Reasonable Adjustment. What happens if your result is ‘Not Yet Competent’ for one or more assessment tasks? Our assessment process is designed to answer the question “has the desired learning outcome been achieved yet?” If the answer is “Not yet”, then we work with you to see how we can get there. In the case that one or more of your assessments has been marked ‘NYC’, your trainer will provide you with the necessary feedback and guidance, for you to resubmit your responses. 2023 T3 RIICWD601E Assignment 1 & 2 5 | P a g e

What if you disagree on the assessment outcome? You can appeal against a decision made in regard to your assessment. An appeal should only be made if you have been assessed as ‘Not Yet Competent’ against a specific unit and you feel you have sufficient grounds to believe that you are entitled to be assessed as competent. You must be able to adequately demonstrate that you have the skills and experience to be able to meet the requirements of units you are appealing the assessment of. Your trainer will outline the appeals process, which is available to the student. You can request a form to make an appeal and submit it to your trainer, the course coordinator, or the administration officer. The RTO will examine the appeal and you will be advised of the outcome within 14 days. Any additional information you wish to provide may be attached to the appeal form. What if I believe I am already competent before training? If you believe you already have the knowledge and skills to be able to demonstrate competence in this unit, speak with your trainer, as you may be able to apply for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL). Assessor Responsibilities Assessors need to be aware of their responsibilities and carry them out appropriately. To do this they need to: Ensure that participants are assessed fairly based on the outcome of the language, literacy and numeracy review completed at enrolment. Ensure that all documentation is signed by the student, trainer, workplace supervisor and assessor when units and certificates are complete, to ensure that there is no follow-up required from an administration perspective. Ensure that their own qualifications are current. When required, request the manager or supervisor to determine that the student is ‘satisfactorily’ demonstrating the requirements for each unit. ‘Satisfactorily’ means consistently meeting the standard expected from an experienced operator. When required, ensure supervisors and students sign off on third party assessment forms or third-party report. Follow the recommendations from moderation and validation meetings. How should I format my assessments? Your assessments should be typed in a 11 or 12 size font for ease of reading. You must include a footer on each page with the student’s name, unit code and date. Your assessment needs to be submitted as a hardcopy or electronic copy as requested by your trainer. 2023 T3 RIICWD601E Assignment 1 & 2 6 | P a g e

1. Outline 2 ways to reduce the environmental impact of civil projects. There are many strategies to minimise a building's impact on the environment. Taking the time to incorporate an environmental strategy into project planning will help ensure that your impact is reduced. Using sustainable materials can not only limit environmental impact, but also save your project money. For examples use of recycled materials: Using recycled materials such as cement made from recycled plastics can also reduce reliance on air conditioners and heating with green insulation. Developing a waste management strategy to minimise this is an important way to reduce the impact of the built environment. For examples plan ahead, avoid over-ordering, and order as needed. 2. What is the advantage of incorporating demand operated ventilation in civil designs? Demand controlled ventilation (DCV) is a process designed to adjust/reprogram the ventilation settings within a building, based on the fluctuating occupancy. DCV systems can automatically reduce ventilation intensity during off-peak hours, saving a lot of energy in the processor. There are many benefits of installing a demand control ventilation system in the building: 1. Cleaner indoor air with fewer allergens: The air in poorly ventilated buildings can contain high levels of allergens, chemical fumes, dust and pet dander, among other pollutants. As a result, residents and businesses will not choose this place for their homes and offices. DCV can significantly reduce indoor air pollution by continuously pumping the required amount of fresh air into the building. 2. Competitive advantage: Since DCV reduces energy consumption, it is relatively equivalent to reducing the cost in terms of power supply, allowing you to afford more expensive measures to achieve a greener building with low CO2 emissions. 3. In designing stair placement, what would you do to encourage use? To encourage stair usage, prioritise visibility and accessibility, placing stairs prominently with clear signage. Design aesthetically pleasing staircases using high-quality materials, good lighting, and safety features like handrails. Incorporate art and interactive elements along the stairs for a visually engaging experience. Emphasise the environmental and health benefits of stair use through signage. Make stairs the most convenient option by strategically locating elevators and escalators. Utilise the space around stairs for fitness- related purposes or greenery to enhance well-being. Ensure accessibility for all with ramps and nearby elevators. Consider promotional campaigns or workplace challenges to promote stair usage. A holistic approach, combining aesthetics, safety, accessibility, and promotion, can create an inviting and appealing stair environment, encouraging individuals to choose stairs over alternative means of vertical transport. 2023 T3 RIICWD601E Assignment 1 & 2 10 | P a g e

4. How would you develop a sustainable procurement strategy to be implemented during construction? Developing a sustainable procurement strategy during construction involves considering environmental, social, and economic factors to minimise negative impacts and promote responsible sourcing. Here's a concise guide: 1. Set Clear Sustainability Goals: Define specific sustainability objectives related to environmental impact, social responsibility, and economic considerations. These goals will guide the procurement process. 2. Supplier Evaluation and Selection: Assess suppliers based on their environmental practices, social responsibility, and economic stability. Prioritise vendors with certifications, such as ISO 14001 for environmental management or fair labor standards. 3. Local Sourcing and Community Engagement: Favour local suppliers to reduce transportation-related emissions and support the community. Engage with local stakeholders to ensure the construction project aligns with community needs and values. 5. Where relevant to the proposed development, what engineering information at should be provided? When proposing a development, providing comprehensive engineering information is crucial for successful planning, design, and execution. Relevant engineering information includes: 1. Geotechnical Studies: Conduct thorough geotechnical studies to assess soil and subsurface conditions. This information is vital for designing foundations, determining slope stability, and understanding potential risks such as landslides. Engineers need data on soil composition, bearing capacity, and groundwater levels to make informed decisions. 2. Civil and Structural Engineering Plans: Submit detailed civil and structural engineering plans that outline the layout, dimensions, and specifications for foundations, buildings, roads, bridges, and other structures. This information ensures compliance with building codes and safety standards, addressing factors like load distribution, seismic considerations, and wind resistance. 3. Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA): Provide an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) that evaluates the potential environmental consequences of the proposed development. This includes information on air and water quality, noise levels, habitat disruption, and other ecological factors. Recommendations for mitigating and managing environmental impacts should also be included. By supplying this essential engineering information, stakeholders can make informed decisions, anticipate challenges, and ensure that the proposed development aligns with safety, environmental, and regulatory standards. This comprehensive approach facilitates a smoother project implementation process and contributes to the long-term success and sustainability of the development. 2023 T3 RIICWD601E Assignment 1 & 2 11 | P a g e

6. What does it mean to have uniquely identified requirements? Why should requirements be uniquely identified? Uniquely identified requirements refer to a practice in project management and system development where each individual requirement is assigned a distinct and specific identifier or code. This identifier distinguishes each requirement from others in the project and ensures a clear and unambiguous reference point. Here's why uniquely identified requirements are essential: 1. Clarity and Precision: Uniquely identifying requirements helps eliminate confusion and ambiguity. When each requirement has a distinct identifier, there is no room for misunderstanding or misinterpretation, promoting clarity in communication among project stakeholders. 2. Change Management: When requirements evolve or change during the development process, a unique identifier facilitates effective change management. It ensures that all stakeholders are aware of the modifications, and documentation can be updated accordingly without confusion or oversight. 7. What is the term used for the processes required to ensure that the project include all the work required, and only the work required, to complete the work successfully. (a) Project Scope Management (b) Bill of Materials (c) Work Breakdown Structure (d) None of the above Answer: A: Project Scope Management involves defining, planning, and controlling the project scope. It ensures that the project includes all the necessary work and only that work, preventing scope creep. The other options—Bill of Materials (BOM) and Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)—are related to project management but do not specifically address the comprehensive management of project scope. 8. Project Scope Management has following processes: 2023 T3 RIICWD601E Assignment 1 & 2 12 | P a g e

a. Collect Requirements b. Plan Scope management c. Define Scope d. Create WBS Arrange them in the correct sequence. (a) a-b-c-d (b) c-d-b-a (c) b-a-c-d (d) a-c-b-d C: It starts with planning scope management (b), followed by collecting requirements (a), defining the scope (c), and creating the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) (d) to systematically break down and organise project deliverables. 9. How does scope creep happen? Scope creep occurs when there is an uncontrolled expansion of project scope, leading to additional work beyond the initially defined requirements. Several factors contribute to scope creep: 1. Poorly Defined Initial Scope: Inadequate definition of project requirements or unclear objectives can create ambiguity, making it easier for stakeholders to introduce new elements. 2. Lack of Change Control: Ineffective change control processes can result in unapproved changes being introduced without proper evaluation, documentation, or authorisation. 3. Inadequate Stakeholder Involvement: Insufficient involvement or communication with stakeholders may lead to misunderstandings or unexpressed expectations, causing scope to evolve without proper oversight. 10. What happens during concept design stages? During the concept design stages of a project, the primary focus is on ideation, exploration, and initial planning. This phase involves translating high-level project goals into tangible concepts. Key activities include brainstorming, sketching, and creating preliminary designs. Teams explore various ideas to determine the project's feasibility and define its overall direction. Conceptual sketches, diagrams, and basic prototypes may be developed to illustrate potential solutions. Stakeholder input is crucial to align concepts with expectations. Additionally, the concept design stages involve initial assessments of technical, financial, and environmental considerations. While the level of detail is limited compared to later stages, the goal is to establish a solid foundation for subsequent development phases by selecting the most viable and promising concepts that align with project objectives and constraints. Clear communication and collaboration are essential during this phase to ensure a shared vision among stakeholders and project team members. 11. What should a completed detailed design include? 2023 T3 RIICWD601E Assignment 1 & 2 13 | P a g e

A completed detailed design serves as a comprehensive blueprint for the construction or implementation phase of a project. It typically includes the following key elements: 1. Technical Specifications: Detailed technical specifications for every aspect of the project, including materials, components, and systems. This provides a clear understanding of the standards and requirements for each element. 2. Project Schedule: A detailed project schedule outlining timelines, milestones, and dependencies. This helps in planning and managing the construction or implementation phase. 3. Risk Management Plan: Identification of potential risks and a plan for mitigating and managing these risks. This includes strategies for handling unforeseen challenges that may arise during construction. 4. Operation and Maintenance Manuals: Manuals providing guidance on operating and maintaining the completed project. This ensures that end-users have the necessary information to manage and care for the finished product. A completed detailed design provides a comprehensive guide for turning conceptual plans into a tangible and functional reality, offering the necessary details and specifications for successful project execution. 12. Outline a strategy to facilitate collaboration on an engineering project. To foster collaboration in an engineering project, establish clear communication channels using tools like project management software and regular team meetings. Define roles and responsibilities to avoid confusion and promote a culture of collaboration through open communication and recognition of achievements. Form cross-functional teams to leverage diverse expertise and implement agile methodologies for flexibility and iterative progress. Encourage knowledge sharing through centralised documentation and constructive feedback to drive continuous improvement. Utilise visualisation tools, such as diagrams and prototypes, to enhance understanding and align team members on project goals. Organise team-building activities to strengthen interpersonal relationships and trust, creating a cohesive team that collaborates effectively. Regularly reassess and adapt the collaboration strategy to meet evolving project needs and capitalise on the strengths of the team, ensuring a dynamic and successful engineering project. 13. What is Computer Aided Design? 2023 T3 RIICWD601E Assignment 1 & 2 14 | P a g e

Computer-Aided Design (CAD) refers to the use of computer technology to assist in the creation, modification, analysis, or optimisation of designs, particularly in the fields of engineering, architecture, and manufacturing. CAD software allows designers and engineers to create detailed two-dimensional (2D) or three-dimensional (3D) models of physical objects, systems, or structures.Key features of CAD include: 1. Design and Modelling: CAD enables the creation of precise and detailed digital models of products or structures. Designers can manipulate and visualise these models in 2D or 3D space. 2. Drafting and Documentation: CAD software facilitates the creation of technical drawings and documentation, streamlining the process of generating plans, schematics, and blueprints. 3. Parametric Modelling: in CAD allows designers to define and control geometric relationships between different components of a design. Changes made to one part of the model automatically update related elements. 14. What should happen after the design review? After a design review, several key actions and decisions should follow to ensure the project progresses smoothly. These steps help address identified issues, implement feedback, and prepare for the subsequent phases of the project: 1. Documentation of Review Feedback: Document all feedback, suggestions, and decisions made during the design review. This documentation serves as a reference for future stages and provides a record of the rationale behind design choices. 2. Issue Resolution and Revisions: Address any identified issues or concerns raised during the review. Revise the design, accordingly, incorporating feedback and making necessary adjustments to improve the design's quality and effectiveness. 3. Communication of Changes: Communicate design revisions and changes to all relevant stakeholders. This ensures that everyone is aware of the updates and can provide additional input or address any concerns that may arise. By systematically addressing feedback, obtaining approvals, updating documentation, and preparing for the next project phase, teams can ensure that the design review serves as a valuable checkpoint in the project lifecycle, contributing to successful project outcomes. 15.

Actively listening is a communication skill that involves fully focusing, understanding, and responding to a speaker in a thoughtful and engaged manner. It goes beyond simply hearing words and involves demonstrating genuine interest and empathy. Here are key elements of active listening: 1. Give Full Attention: Devote your full attention to the speaker, avoiding distractions or interrupting thoughts. Show that you are mentally present and ready to receive the information. 2. Show That You're Listening: Use verbal and nonverbal cues to indicate your attentiveness, such as nodding, making eye contact, and providing occasional verbal affirmations like "I see" or "I understand." 3. Postpone Judgment: Suspend judgment and refrain from forming opinions prematurely. Allow the speaker to express their thoughts without interruption or immediate evaluation. 4. Reflective Listening: Paraphrase or summarise the speaker's message to confirm your understanding. This demonstrates that you are actively processing the information and encourages the speaker to clarify or elaborate. Active listening is essential for effective communication, building strong relationships, and fostering a positive and collaborative environment. It involves a conscious effort to engage with the speaker, understand their perspective, and respond in a way that promotes meaningful dialogue. 16. How is the client included in design concept development? Client inclusion in design concept development is crucial for aligning the project with their vision and expectations. Through collaborative workshops, meetings, and regular communication, designers seek client input, gather preferences, and understand specific requirements. Iterative feedback loops ensure that the evolving design resonates with the client's goals. This inclusive process not only validates the client's perspective but also enhances satisfaction and ownership, fostering a successful partnership between designers and clients throughout the concept development phase. 17. What is the purpose of design evaluation? The purpose of design evaluation is to systematically assess and critique a design's effectiveness, functionality, and alignment with project objectives. This process involves scrutinising various aspects, such as aesthetics, functionality, usability, and feasibility, to ensure the design meets the intended goals. Design evaluation helps identify strengths, weaknesses, and areas for improvement, guiding further refinements. It also facilitates informed decision-making by providing insights into user needs, project requirements, and potential risks. Ultimately, design evaluation ensures that the final product or solution is well-crafted, user-friendly, and aligned with the project's overall success criteria.

You are required to undertake a civil construction design project as outlined below. Your Assessor will take the role of the client for the purposes of this assessment task. Design Specifications 1. The Problem You are a civil designer working for the state department of transportation. You have been assigned responsibility for the design of a truss bridge to carry a two-lane highway across the river valley shown below. 2. Design Objective Satisfy all of the specifications listed below, while keeping the total cost of the project as low as possible. 3. Bridge Configuration 1. The bridge may cross the valley at any elevation from the high water level to 24 meters above the high water level. 2. If the elevation of the bridge is below 24 meters, excavation of the river banks will be required to achieve the correct highway elevation. 3. To provide clearance for overhead power lines (shown above), the highest point on the bridge may not exceed an elevation 32.5 meters above the high water level (8.5 meters above the top of the river banks). 4. The bridge may consist of either standard (simple supports) or (arch supports). If necessary, the bridge may also use one intermediate , located near the centre of the valley. If necessary, the bridge may also use cable , located 8 meters behind one or both abutments. 5. Each main truss can have no more than 100 and no more than 200 . 6. The bridge will have a flat, reinforced deck. Two types of concrete are available: 2023 T3 RIICWD601E Assignment 1 & 2 19 | P a g e

1. Medium-strength concrete requires a deck thickness of 23 centimetres (0.23 metres). 2. High-strength concrete requires a deck thickness of 15 centimetres (0.15 meter). 7. In either case, the deck will be supported by transverse spaced at 4 metre intervals. To accommodate these floor beams, your must have a row of joints spaced 4 meters apart at the level of the deck. These joints are created automatically when you begin a new design. 8. The bridge deck will be 10 meters wide, such that it can accommodate two lanes of traffic. 4. Member Properties • Materials. Each member of the truss will be made of either carbon steel, high-strength low-alloy steel, or quenched and tempered steel. • . The members of the truss can be either solid bars or hollow tubes. Both types of cross-sections are square. • Member Size. Both cross-sections are available in a variety of standard sizes. 5. Loads The bridge must be capable of safely carrying the following loads: • Weight of the deck. • Weight of a 5-cm thick , which might be applied at some time in the future. • Weight of the steel floor beams and supplemental bracing members (assumed to be 12.0 applied at each deck-level joint). • Weight of the main trusses. • Either of two possible truck loadings:  Weight of one standard H25 truck loading per lane, including appropriate allowance for the dynamic effects of the moving load. (Since the bridge carries two lanes of traffic, each main truss must safely carry one H25 vehicle, placed anywhere along the length of the deck.)  Weight of a single 480 kN Permit Loading, including appropriate allowance for the dynamic effects of the moving load. (Since the Permit Loading is assumed to be cantered laterally, each main truss must safely carry one-half of the total vehicle weight, placed anywhere along the length of the deck.) 6. Structural Safety 2023 T3 RIICWD601E Assignment 1 & 2 20 | P a g e

The bridge will comply with the structural provisions of the state specified standards, to include: • Material densities • Load combinations • Tensile strength of members • Compressive strength of members 7. Cost The cost of the design will be calculated using the following cost factors: • Material Cost:  Carbon steel bars - $4.50 per kilogram  Carbon steel tubes - $6.30 per kilogram  High-strength steel bars - $5.00 per kilogram  High-strength steel tubes - $7.00 per kilogram  Quenched and tempered steel bars - $5.55 per kilogram  Quenched and tempered steel tubes - $7.75 per kilogram • Connection Cost: $500.00 per joint • Product Cost: $1000.00 per product • Site Cost:  Reinforced concrete deck (medium strength) - $5,150 per 4-meter panel  Reinforced concrete deck (high strength) - $5,300 per 4-meter panel  Excavation - $1.00 per cubic meter (See the Site Design Wizard for excavation volume)  Supports (abutments and pier) - Cost varies (See the Site Design Wizard for specific values) o $6,000 per anchorage 2023 T3 RIICWD601E Assignment 1 & 2 21 | P a g e

 Equal Employment Opportunity and Disability Discrimination legislation Design concept report Introduction : A bridge is a structure built on a physical obstacle such as a body of water, a valley or road, and its purpose is to provide passage on these physical obstacles. It is designed to be strong enough to support its own weight as well as the weight of everything that needs to pass over it. Reason to design a bridge there: This is located between two elevated cables, 24 meters high because of a puddle in the middle. Build a bridge so that cars can reach the other side smoothly. Components of Bridge: a) Super-structure: deck, truss, girders, etc. b) Substructure: pier/abutments, bearing and foundation Classification of Bridges: Bridges are mainly classified according to the materials used in their construction, various structural forms, construction and function. Here are some classifications based on various structural forms: a) Slab (0-12m) b) Beam (10m-30m) c) Cantilever/Balanced Cantilever (30m-500m) d) Box-girder (18m-30m; 60m-70m with pre-stressing) e) Truss (35m-300m) f) Arch (20m-500m) g) Cable-stayed (90m-350m) h) Suspension (300m-2000m) For this case, we will choose to design the truss bridge to carry a two-land highway across the river valley. Why did you choose truss bridge? Because the supporting force is more stable, it is also more suitable for fixing on both sides of the plane, which will make the 2023 T3 RIICWD601E Assignment 1 & 2 23 | P a g e

bridge more stable. It will not worry that the bridge will be too low and easy to contact the highest water level, and it will not be too high to cause an accident on the cable line. A truss bridge is a type of bridge built using a frame of interconnected triangular units, known as trusses. Trusses are usually made of straight bars (beams) arranged in a triangle, with each bar contributing to the overall strength and stability of the bridge. The triangular truss design effectively transmits forces, such as compression and tension throughout the structure. Truss bridges have been used for centuries and are known for their strength, durability and cost effectiveness. They can be made from a variety of materials, including steel and wood. Truss bridges are commonly found in road and rail infrastructure, and they often have a series of trusses that support the deck or the upper line.There are many different classifications of truss Bridges, each with different configurations, each offering unique advantages in terms of structural efficiency, load carrying capacity and aesthetics. 2023 T3 RIICWD601E Assignment 1 & 2 24 | P a g e
