semesterj
Assessment: examinationlassignrnentl
laboratory
Subject aims
To introduce concepts and methods of structural design. To
apply these principles to the design of structural elements in
steel and concrete. To provide practice in the application of
these principles.
Subject description
Design theories: the design process, load versus strength,
limit states of stability, strength and serviceability, permissible
stress design, deemed to comply provisions.
Loads on structures: types of load, loading codes and
building regulations, load paths in structures, conversion to
loads on elements, modelling of structural forms.
Design of steel members subject to axial tension,
compression, bending and combined bending and
compression.
Design of simple steel welded and bolted connections -
axially loaded single and double angles, beam and cantilever
end connections, structural bases. Design of simple steel
elements.
Analysis and design of plain and reinforced concrete
elements, limited to statically determinate structures -
including requirements of durability and fire resistance.
Concrete technology: characteristics of concrete and
components, design of concrete mixes, additives, factors
affecting performance.
Steel technology: deformation and fracture, heat treatment
in relation to welding practice, welding processes, corrosion.
