Module Aims
To further develop integrated Structural Analysis and Design.
To explore and critically analyse existing structures and the considerations required for refurbishment.
To evaluate conceptual structural forms with focus on the importance of sustainability and stability.
To enable students to understand and design elements of structures and exercise judgement.
To use software and practical work to enhance understanding of theory and design.
Content Summary
The module content will extend the knowledge and skill in the principles of Structural Analysis, as well as industrially relevant design standards.
The module will introduce conceptual choices of structural forms, with the focus on sustainability, overall stability, and the considerations required for refurbishing existing structures.
To use appropriate software for structural analysis and design.
Analysis
The continuation of structural analysis, such as:
Virtual work.
Stiffness matrix method of analysis.
Plastic methods of structural analysis.
Introduction into torsion.
Design
Continuation in the design of structures to current UK design standards including:
Basic Carbon calculation of various structural forms.
Two-way spanning, continuous and flat reinforced concrete slabs.
Steel trusses, lattice girders and welded plate girders.
Simple connections.
