"Annexure B" ASSIGNMENT 2 DESIGN BRIEF Due to increasing pedestrian traffic of students travelling from halls of residence to the engineering block at one of its devised a plan, which includes a new means of crossing a busy road safely and without causing traffic delay. A solution to protect student safety for crossing the busy road is to design and build a pedestrian bridge. This will eliminate traffic congestion and delays as well as eliminate conflict between pedestrians and motorists. The main purpose is to safely merge the halls of residence and the engineering block with the implementation of a pedestrian bridge. With such projects it is always necessary to obtain permission, any permits that may be required from the city planning department as well as carry out a site survey. Some of the design information is given in the Table 1 below Table 1: Design Information University of South Africa (UNISA) has many campuses, the Engineer responsible: wISA Student Building Regulation Authority Relevant Building Regulations and Client Architecture Whesa Asseute 1 Natimal Builaine Regulations.
