Course Overview

The aim of this course is to extend the understanding of structural behaviour by studying new concepts in the context of design of steel and composite steel-concrete structures and to introduce the Australian and international design codes that govern structural design for steel and composite structures.

This course will also provide you with opportunities to develop the following graduate attributes:

• the capacity for analytical and independent critical thinking; • skills related to lifelong learning, such as self-reflection (ability to apply theory to practice in familiar

and unfamiliar situations); and • collaborative and teamwork skills.

OBJECTIVES

The objectives of the course

• to build on your knowledge in structural steel and composite steel-concrete design • to introduce you to design strategies and thinking processes for practical structural design projects • to give you opportunities to develop and reflect on graduate attributes such as collaborative skills

HANDBOOK DESCRIPTION

See link to virtual handbook: www.handbook.unsw.edu.au/undergraduate/courses/2013/CVEN4307.html www.handbook.unsw.edu.au/undergraduate/courses/2013/CVEN9822.html LEARNING & TEACHING STRATEGIES

Students undertaking this course should follow a range of the following suggested learning strategies.

Private Study • Review lecture material and textbooks and recommended reading • Complete set problems and assignments

Lectures • Find out what you must learn • See methods that are not in the textbook • Follow worked examples • Hear announcements on course changes

Tutorials • Be guided by tutors • Ask questions • Practice solving set problems

Assessments • Complete assignments • Prepare and complete final examination

EXPECTED LEARNING OUTCOMES

After completing this course, you will: • be able to demonstrate an understanding of AS4100 Steel Structures design code and design methods • be able to demonstrate an understanding of AS2327.1 Composite Structures 1: Simply Supported Beams design code and design methods • be able to design beams, beam-columns and connections of regular steel structures according to the

Australian Standard, AS 4100-1998. • be able to design beams, beam-columns and connections of regular steel structures according to the

Australian Standard, AS2327.1/AS5100.6, the new AS/NZS 2327 and the European Code, EC4. • be able to demonstrate an understanding of the plastic methods of analysis and design for steel

structures • be able to demonstrate an understanding of the elastic and plastic methods of analysis and design for

composite structures • be able to interpret and understand the requirements of a design brief and identify the potential design

problems presented by the objectives of the brief ASSESSMENT
