Credit points: 23.00
Contact: 85 hours of lectures, 42 hours of tutorials and 55 hours of laboratory work
Timetable: Double semester.
Objectives:
At the conclusion of this course students should be able to analyse for the internal actions produced in simple truss and frame structures and the resultant deformations associated with a variety of loading states and to be able to design simple structural elements (such as slabs, beams, columns, ties and connections) in steel and reinforced concrete (as applicable) in accordance with the appropriate Standard codes of practice.
Content:
Elements of structural behaviour. Basic modes of structural action. Analysis of statically determinate and indeterminate structures. Structural mechanics, including stability and dynamics. Bases of structural design in various materials and for various criteria. Behaviour and design of structural connections and elements.
Assessment:
a three-hour and two two-hour examinations, or equivalent, one of which may be held at the end of the first semester. Practical work and tests during the year will be assessed as part of the examination.
