Provides a practical introduction to design techniques in structural engineering. The emphasis is on realistic design problems, such as the structural design of a new commercial or industrial building. Problems are set and supervised by practicing engineers in consultation with departmental staff and test most aspects of design.
| Objectives | This course provides the capstone experience for the structural engineering strand of the civil engineering program: A1. To know the basics of conceptual design. A2. To apply the research and design skills acquired in earlier courses for the solution of realistic practical problems as a part of the team. A3. To know the major Australian Standards for structural engineering design. A4. To know features and limitations of the most common software used in professional practice at design stage. A5. To be able to communicate design outcomes at a professional level. |
