Interim Assessment. Document of Case Based Precedence about Reinforced concrete Frame. 5 Case Study should be relevant to the project which is construction of six storey, two floors of RC Frame car park and the other floors is steel frame. my part focus in the 2 floors of RC frame car park, develop a study, analysis and review on why I choose a typical mixture of RC that have been used in the case study and it has been successful, buildings that used slabs concrete in their car park structure. Analysis the slabs (dimension, width, depth, thickness,..) same goes to the columns, beams…, trying to make the spice less column to fit more cars as possible.
1-must be in-situ reinforced concrete and the management of shell and core.
2- including calculations
3- mention the health and safety.
4- most important thing for the client is the time then cost the quality
inclding some picture(need the source beside it), should mention the time of every process, like how long they toke to finish construction the slabs,.., how many workers does it need, the budget of the materials and quality.
our building we used the columns as 0.45mx0.45m, the distance between every column is 7.5m x 10m.
dimension of the building 119.7m x 31.8m. so the space between column from 119.7m side is 7.5m, and from 31.8m side is 10m.

Paper Five: Argument and your Profession (Research Based Argument)

For you final paper of the course, you will explore argument in your own professional field. Within any profession there are issues that are actively debated and discussed and having the ability to take part in that professional debate, in an intelligent and knowledgeable way, is important to your professional success.

For this essay you will take an issue on which people in your profession actively disagree and take a clear position on that issue. You will support your position with reasons, and you will support your reasons with evidence, the elements of argument that you have been studying all semester. Your audience for this paper will be others in your professional field as well as the general public. Terms commonly used inside the profession that may be new to a general audience will need to be explained. You are the author of this paper, so the arguments you present will be your own (without using “I” or referring to yourself), and sources will be used only to provide the facts, statistics, expert opinion or examples needed to support your own arguments. You will need to introduce and comment on source material throughout the paper, since the reader will need to understand how and why source material help prove your individual reasons and your overall thesis. You may also use the arguments that contradict your position in order to refute them or qualify your own reasons/arguments. Chapter 6 will be your guide for writing Research Based Arguments, and you will find a sample essay and MLA citation information in that chapter.

This essay will be seven to ten pages long in MLA format (not counting Works Cited page). You will have a minimum of five sources, with at least four of those sources being from books, professional journals, magazines or newspapers. You may use internet and other types of non-print sources as long as they are credible and current, but only in addition to the four required sources from books, or journals, magazines or newspapers

 

i attached word file ( final 302) the instructor wrote all what we have covered in the course , in the end of the page you will see 3 questions in red color this is the questions i need you to answer it based on the readings ,

NOT ALLOWED TO USE ANY OTHER RESOURCES (JUST FROM THE READINGS).

I DONT WANT TOO MUCH CITATIONS ,

ANSWER THE 3 QUESTIONES SPRETALY , I ORDERD 3 PAGES

AND YOU CAN RECOGNIZE THAT QUESTION 1 + 3 ABOUT MIGRATION
QUESTION 2 IS ABOUT INFORMAL

I WILL ATTACHED ALL THE READINGS WE COVERED IN THE SEMESTER BUT YOU WILL USE THE RELATIVE READINGS FOR THE QUESTIONS .

When I emailed the professor he sent me this:

“The material you needed for the essays, the first one on the ideal city and the slum/urban village, Wirth & Mike Davis. The material for the second essay on informality (informal housing, informal business). The article on gated communities in Cairo by Kuppinger and Elshahed for #2 and the 2 films and the Manshiet Nasser article for #2. I would even say the 2 articles I wrote that were actually assigned, but waved, and I covered them “informally” on the board in class, because these cover rural-to-urban migration (internal or domestic migration). The Weaver and Abdo articles on Imbaba, and the handout summary of the Singerman article for problems of 19th century cities (i.e., Cairo). Then the Gardiner article for Gulf cities and the 2 Mahdavi chapters for the problems of Gulf cities, for (2) how the rich live, and (3) international migration.”

Final Creative Project %u0432%u0402%u201C
Students will choose one item of interest from our readings or discussions, i.e. a specific person, incident, artwork, literary work, philosophy, etc. and using that specific item, will create their own retelling or interpretation. For example, the student can write a short play, a poem, or song lyrics describing the specific item that you have chosen. For instance, in the past, I%u0432%u0402%u2122ve had students write a poem/lyrics about a specific artwork, person or philosophy that inspired them, a few students even recorded them singing and playing their song. I%u0432%u0402%u2122ve had some students do a 21st %u0432%u0402%u201Ccentury reinterpretation drawing of an artwork that we studied in the course and how it this translates to you now in the 21st century. I want you to be as creative as possible and most importantly have fun and make this a representation of YOU. And if you need ideas please let me know and I will help you brainstorm!
Please post your projects in this weeks discussion forum either as a word document, pdf or jpeg, or copy and paste.
This is the only thing you need to do this week! And, you do not need to comment on your classmates projects unless you want to!
As always please contact me if you have ANY questions or need some advice on things you can do. And of course have FUN with this! Anything goes! 🙂

Final paper format
I. Introduction
a. Provide 1-2 paragraphs introducing the
topic/theme/subject of your paper and what you
will address in it.
II. Data collection (methods)
a. How, when, where and with whom (remember no direct identifiers!) did you collect your data
III. Data presentation and wrap-up (discussion/conclusions)
a. Describe your observations, what was the focus
of your observations, how does your data
illustrate the theme/subject of your paper.
b. You will need to draw on resources from either your textbook or from peer-reviewed articles to
analyse your observations in terms of what others have found.
Some suggestions
From Nancy McKee for Anth 350:
OK, so now you have your data (raw information—and by the way, the word “data” is plural, as in “my data ARE really great”). Like the dog who actually caught the car he was chasing, what are you going to do with it (them) now? You’re going to do three things:
• announce the theme, argument, or basic point (usually called a “problem”) you are going to explore with the data you have collected;
• lay out your data in such a way as to make and illustrate your problem; and
• wind up your paper with an economical analysis (a thrifty general statement) about what you think you’ve found out.

The big problem is determining a problem. This is the big problem for everyone at every level. Even PhD students have terrible trouble formulating a question or problem to guide their research, so if you have to struggle a bit, it might make you feel better to know you aren’t alone. But if you don’t have a problem to guide you, all you have is data, and as a my favorite anthropology professor used to yell at his classes, “Data never taught anybody anything.” You need to think hard about a problem even BEFORE you go into the field, but the truth is that the sacred problem might not occur to you until after you get started doing your observations. Still, the sooner the better, because then you’ll know better what you should be looking for.
What are some sample problems? Suppose you’re observing 3-5 year olds in a daycare. How about “Linguistic Dimensions of Young Children’s Conflict Resolution.” (I know it’s a bit pompous, but there’s no harm in learning to talk like the academic natives.) Basically, you would be trying to see how little kids fight verbally with each other, how it differs from the ways adults resolve conflicts verbally, and how kids’ quarrels plug in to other phenomena, like age, gender, maybe ethnicity or social class, if you can get a fix on these. Or suppose you’re going to go to three Tupperware parties (I’m not sure they still exist, but other kinds of pseudo parties do). You could explore “Social, Commercial, and Gender Aspects of Language Use at Home-based Selling ‘Parties.'” Here you would be looking at the ways in which everyday language use intersects with language aimed at pitching a commercial product, so as to produce the illusion that this is not a profit-oriented undertaking, but just a group of women in a social setting talking about the domestic duties and pleasures they share.
Remember that your paper will need both general statements and specific examples from your field notes. “””General statements without specific substantiation are worthless and indefensible.”””” Concrete examples without interpretation may be interesting curiosities, but they are meaningless in any significant context.
Protecting Privacy
Finally, there is the very important issue of protecting the privacy of the people you observe. If the group is so large or anonymous that you and your work are unnoticed and that none of the people you observe could be identified from the paper you write, then don’t worry. Make sure you use pseudonyms (invented names) if you describe individuals, and use pseudonyms also for the names of institutions and locations. On the other hand, if the group is so small that your work is noticeable and/or individuals could be identified from your final paper, then you must get permission from these individuals (or their parents, if they are children) to report on them.
