Short Description
This course is the advanced-level structural design course covering pre-stressed concrete, rigid-steel frames, plate girders and composite steel and concrete construction. The course will provide students with advanced knowledge and skills to allow them to design complex elements and connections within building structures and assess the advantages and disadvantages of using the different technologies.
Timetable
1 lecture and 1 half-class tutorial per week

Main Assessment In: December
Are reassessment opportunities available for all summative assessments? No
Reassessments are normally available for all courses, except those which contribute to the Honours classification. For non Honours courses, students are offered reassessment in all or any of the components of assessment if the satisfactory (threshold) grade for the overall course is not achieved at the first attempt. This is normally grade D3 for undergraduate students and grade C3 for postgraduate students. Exceptionally it may not be possible to offer reassessment of some coursework items, in which case the mark achieved at the first attempt will be counted towards the final course grade. Any such exceptions for this course are described below.
Course Aims
This course aims to extend an understanding of and ability to demonstrate the principles and practice of modern structural design by considering the specific technologies of pre-stressed concrete, rigid structural steel frames, plate girders and composite steel/concrete construction.
Intended Learning Outcomes of Course
By the end of this course students will be able to:
1) compare the technological advantages and understand the appropriate use of pre-stressed concrete, composite construction, plate-girders and rigid frames in terms of structural efficiency and buildability.
2)understand and develop skills to analyse and design rigid steel frames, steel plate-girders, pre-stressed concrete and composite construction
Minimum Requirement for Award of Credits
Students must attend the degree examination and submit at least 75% by weight of the other components of the course's summative assessment.
Students should attend at least 75% of the timetabled classes of the course.
Note that these are minimum requirements: good students will achieve far higher participation/submission rates. Any student who misses an assessment or a significant number of classes because of illness or other good cause should report this by completing a MyCampus absence report.
