Concrete and steel as structural materials. Design of members for tension, compression, shear, and flexure. Welded and bolted connections. Limit-state design concepts. Serviceability.
The objective of the course is to introduce the students to the use of concrete and steel as structural materials and to the principles of structural design. It builds on the acquired knowledge of mechanics of materials, metallurgy, and structural design and analysis for statically determinate elements covered in previous courses.
At the end of the course, students are expected to:Understand the behaviour of structural steel, reinforced concrete and prestressed concrete elements, and from this, key design concepts for such elements.Be able to apply the principles of mechanics to calculate the resistance of reinforced concrete and steel structural elements.Understand the performance of steel and concrete members subject to tension, compression, shear, flexure actions and combinations of these.Be able to follow design procedures for the above.Understand the limit-state design approach, including serviceability and ultimate limit states as it applies to steel and concrete structures.Be able to follow design methods and techniques for a variety of welded and bolted connections. Be able to design and/or analyse reinforced concrete beams and reinforced concrete column elements as part of a real building structure.
