Structures 301 (A)
Description
This module details elementary theory and techniques used in the analysis of statically determinate and statically indeterminate structural systems for
shear, moment and deflection. Stress analysis and fundamental strut instability topics are also covered.
This module also details and applies the principles and methods used in the design of structural concrete to EN1992, with reference to sustainability in
design.
Learning Outcomes
Analyse continuous beams and other statically indeterminate structures using the moment distribution method, including the calculation of reactions, shear forces and bending moments.
Derive and apply equations for analysing composite beams in bending and beams subjected to unsymmetrical bending.
Analyse the buckling of columns and the reactions, shear forces and bending moments in statically determinate frames.
Select an appropriate scheme design for a reinforced concrete building, consider sustainability challenges, defend design decisions, and present findings orally and in written form.
Design and detail structural elements in reinforced concrete, and communicate the design in an appropriate manner.
