SSDS project is aiming in improving the water quality of the Victoria harbor through a higher level treatment of sewage collected from the urban areas of HK and offshore disposal of the treated effluent.
CITY UNIVERSITY OF HONG KONG
1. A medium rise traditional reinforced concrete structure
The Academic Exchange Building (AEB) at the City University of Hong Kong was selected as a case study to provide a virtual site visit and tour for the study of the construction of a typical medium rise, short to medium span structure, using traditional, in-situ reinforced concrete technology. The AEB is located at the east entrance of the City University along the old aircraft flight path. The building is therefore only eight storeys high to comply with height restrictions. The AEB site is surrounded by a slope. The selection of a soil support system was therefore critical, and this is featured in the presentations.

HONG KONG POLYTECHNIC UNIVERSITY
1. PolyU Main Building Re-development
The major construction aspects of the re-development of the former Main Building into the new reinforced-concrete office block called Li Ka Shing  Building was documented through text, images, video and sound clips. The various construction process components include, demolition, piling, pile-cap construction and superstructure construction. Two special features are the tower crane installation and the curtain wall construction.
2. Pak Shek Kok Reclamation
The design, construction and monitoring of the Pak Shek Kok Reclamation is documented in this module. The use of vertical drains to accelerate the rate of consolidation of the soft clay is treated in detail and an online interactive consolidation analysis can be carried out.
3. CALSB: Computer-Aided Learning of Structural Behaviour
The CALSB is a Java applets package covering all common two-dimensional skeletal structures including beams, trusses and frames. The matrix method of structural analysis is used as a solution tool so that the behaviour of any structure can be predicted. The use of "Games" and "Paradoxes" worths a special mention.
