Structural Design and Risk Management - 6203CIV

Structural Design and Risk Management

Exercise initiative, personal responsibility and leadership skills as a member of a design team, and critically evaluate the success of team working.

Apply knowledge and understanding of risk issues to engineering design, and critically evaluate current practices of risk management

Design more advanced structural elements (such as ribbed slab, composite construction, slender column).

Critically analyse the design process and apply it to complex structural elements using a variety of building materials and under different environmental and loading conditions.

Produce and critically review safe and economical design in accordance with the current codes of practice.
