Aims
To introduce the analysis of statically indeterminate structures and the analysis of the plastic behaviour of steel structures.
To design and detail structural elements in reinforced concrete and structural steelwork using Eurocode 2 and 3.
Introduce students to the use of software for the analysis and design of structures.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Analyse indeterminate structures using force methods.
2.
Analyse indeterminate structures using displacement methods.
3.
Design and detail of reinforced concrete continuous flanged beams, slabs and columns.
4.
Design and detail of complex steel elements.
5.
Collect, process and report on data from laboratory experiments.
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:Statically indeterminate beams, deflection, composite (flitch) beams.
Analysis of Frames, including sway
Structural analysis of indeterminate structures using force and displacement methods (Moment distribution, plastic analysis, virtual work, slope deflection)
Reinforced concrete design and detailing to Current Code of Practice of rectangular and flanged beams, slabs, and stocky columns.
Structural steelwork design and detailing to Current Code of Practice of laterally unrestrained beams, columns and plate girders.
Additional Information:The analysis and design of structures. Students will develop their analytical skills to include the analysis of redundant structures, and will learn to apply the Eurocodes in the design of concrete and steel structures with due consideration for sustainability. They will also be introduced to industry standard analysis and design software.
