Prerequisites

There are no pre-requisites for this module to be added
Description of module content:

You will develop an understanding and integrated knowledge, and start making effective use of methods covered in previous modules, around the structural analysis of determinate and indeterminate structures.In the first part of the module, we will use a problem-solving approach to work with structural Eurocodes and implement structural design principles and loading scenarios, then applying your knowledge to design structural steelwork (examining material properties and section classification, and verifying axially loaded members and flexural members).You will then learn to identify and analyze routine professional problems for the design of masonry structures, comprising selection of materials, forms and bonds, and the design for vertically and laterally loaded walls. In the second part of the module, you will be able to execute design calculations of singly and doubly reinforced concrete (RC) beams, implement the serviceability Design Approach for RC Members and design RC Slabs, T and L Shaped Beams, and RC columns.
Learning Outcomes for module:

Upon completion of this module you will be able to

LO1: Demonstrate knowledge in structural analysis of statically determined and undetermined structures.

LO2: Implement design principles and loading conditions in accordance with Eurocodes 0 and 1.

LO3: Demonstrate knowledge of design principles for structural steel elements in accordance with Eurocode 3 and UK National Annexes.

LO4: Demonstrate knowledge of design principles for structural concrete elements in accordance with Eurocode 2 and UK National Annexes.

LO5: Demonstrate knowledge of design principles for masonry structures in accordance with Eurocode 6 and UK National Annexes.
