Modules

Due to Covid-19 restrictions, learning and teaching activities on campus as described in the module descriptors are currently restricted. Learning and teaching will be enabled through a mixture of scheduled online activity where you will be able to engage with your tutor and classmates in real-time and unscheduled guided activity where you will be required to complete activities and tasks at a time which best suits you. Teaching will take place on campus, wherever possible, and where this is safe to happen.

Definitive information on module delivery during 2020/21 will be provided on Module Moodle Sites. For specific enquiries please contact the module leaders directly.

Description of module content:

Unit 1: Design process and design philosophies, Review of Analysis topics
Unit 2: EC0 and EC1: use of Eurocodes for structural design principles and loading,
Unit 3: EC3: Use of Eurocode 3 for the design of structural steelwork: review of material properties, section classification, axially loaded members (in tension and compression).
Unit 4: EC3: Use of Eurocode 3 for the design of structural steelwork: review of design requirements for flexural members.
Unit 5: Elastic instability implications and advanced examples on the design of Lattice girders (part I).
Unit 6: Advanced examples on the design of Lattice girders (part II).
Unit 7: EC3: Flexural and torsional buckling of lattice girders
Unit 8: EC3: In-plane behaviour of thin plates in lattice girders
Unit 9: EC3: Design approach for lattice girders with stiffeners
Unit 10: Fatigue analysis of steel under different loading conditions

Learning Outcomes for module:

LO1: develop an understanding and working knowledge of Eurocodes with respect to steelwork.
LO2: analyze and design lattice girders to Eurocodes using secondary bracing and bending systems. LO3: evaluate structural elements with respect to fatigue loading, as well as various buckling modes, e.g. local, flexural, distortional, lateral torsional, torsional and frames with respect to second-order effects,.
LO4: critically assess structural stability of thin plates subject to various in-plane loading conditions. LO5: analyze and design plate girder and lattice girder elements to Eurocodes
