Aims
Appreciate the underlying differences in the behaviour and analysis of bridges and large structures and develop critical understanding of the philosophies of current Codes of Practice and in using appropriate methods for the design of steel, composite, prestressed concrete, tensile cables and bridge elements/deck structures
Learning Outcomes
1.
Critically evaluate the use of common structural materials in large structures.
2.
Evaluate a range of structural theories and methods of analysis and
their relevance to large structures according to current codes of practice.
3.
Perform advanced structural analysis and design of steel, composite, prestressed concrete, tensile cables, bridge deck structures/elements, and apply knowledge to the design in varying environments.
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:Large span steel trusses & Lattice girder: design methods/principles, types, selection of elements; connections, analysis and design.
Lightweight tension steel cable structures: analysis and design principles for cables and cable systems
Large span continuous composite steel beam: Plastic analysis of composite section.
Foundations & holding-down systems: Plate and base plate steel strength; resistance in bearing; resistance in tension of an anchor bolt row; holding-down systems; grouting; bedding; examples-foundations and holding-down systems.
Fire protection and fire engineering: prevention of steelwork from fire, fire engineering design codes, structural performance in fire, advanced fire engineering and
worked examples.
Bridge engineering: Types, uses, materials, foundations, analysis and design of; large span reinforced concrete slab deck, large span prestress beams supporting a bridge deck, composite steel deck. Worked examples.
Module Overview:
This module expands student knowledge from the design of relatively small structures to the design of large structures such as large span roof trusses, cable bridge structures, composite, reinforced and prestressed concrete bridge decks. Students will develop critical understanding of the philosophies of current Codes of Practice and in using appropriate methods for the design of steel, composite, prestressed concrete, tensile cables and bridge elements/deck structures.
