HECS Band | 2 |
Coordinator | Assoc Prof N Haritos |
Prerequisites | 421-307 Structural Engineering 1 |
Semester | 2 (view timetable) |
Contact | 30 hours of lectures, 15 hours of practice classes and 3 hours of laboratory work |
Subject Description | At the conclusion of this subject students should be able to analyse for internal actions and deformations in both determinate and indeterminate truss and frame structure members arising from a variety of loading states. On completion of the design component students will be able to apply techniques previously introduced to the design of members and connections for a variety of steel structures. Topics covered include: An introduction to computer analysis of determinate and indeterminate truss and frame structures using matrix methods. Introduction to the finite element technique. Modelling of the basic modes of structural action; behaviour (first order and second order) of ties, columns, beams, beam-columns, simple frames, bolts, welds and fasteners groups including yielding, fracture, buckling and warping. |
Assessment | One written examination not exceeding three hours (80%) and practice classes, design and laboratory work (20%). |
