SHORT DESCRIPTION Application of the European structural design codes (Eurocodes) to design steel, concrete and composite steel-concrete elements. Design of specialised structural elements: plate girders, trusses, connections, foundations, prestressed concrete structures, including fire design of structures. Introduction to performance-based design using computer software. Dicussion of the sustainability of construction materials.

3.

AIMS OF THE MODULE Use fundamental engineering design principles and the Eurocodes to design specialised structures at room temperature and in fire scenarios. Introduction to novel construction materials (stainless steel, composite steel-concrete structures, polymer composites). Familiarity with concepts surrounding structural stability, fire design, performance-based design, the continuous strength method (introduction to advanced design methods).

LEARNING OUTCOMES 4.1 

4.2 



Knowledge and Understanding Understanding the advanced structural analysis and design theories of complicated concrete and steel structures, using current codes and software. (contributing to SM1m)

Intellectual Skills Work with information that may be incomplete or uncertain, quantify the effect of this on the design and, where appropriate, use theory or experimental research to mitigate deficiencies. (contributing to D3m) Apply engineering knowledge and understanding of design in the alternative solution of problems and the alternative development of designs. (contributing to D7m)

4.3  

4.4

Practical Skills Extensive knowledge and understanding of a wide range of engineering materials and alternative design methodologies. (contributing to P2m) Understanding of appropriate codes of practice and industry standards as applicable to the design of steel, concrete and composite structures. (contributing to P6)

Transferable Skills Communicate design ideas by using annotated drawings and digital representation is to be fostered. (contributing to G1)

The letters and numbers in brackets eg (SM1m) refer to the Learning Outcomes described in Engineering Council AHEP3 MSc documentation.

5.

ASSESSMENT OF THE MODULE A final exam worth 70% of the overall mark shall consist of mandatory questions consists of steel frame design, plate girder design, fire design, novel materials, composite construction, structural stability or connection design. A structural design coursework worth 30% of the overall mark shall consist of a structural scheme design and a steel plate girder, comprising design calculations, structural drawings and supporting documents. An alternative structural scheme using a novel construction material is also required.

7.3

Importance of Student Self-Managed Learning Time

Student responsibility in the learning and development process will be emphasised. Students are required to undertake directed self-study and prepare solutions/discussions to questions relative to various topic areas. Students will be encouraged to identify for themselves particular problems of difficulty and to use seminar discussions, where appropriate, for the resolution of these. Students must regularly access the Moodle site for this module. They should download the class/lecture material from the Moodle site, and do the recommended reading, before each lecture/class. Where appropriate, students are also expected to download the relevant seminar questions and study them in advance of each seminar, in order to derive maximum benefit from seminar time. The programme of teaching, learning and assessment gives guidance on the textbook reading required for each week, the purpose of which is to encourage further reading both on and around the topic.

7.4

Employability

The module is intended to extend students’ capacity for structural design beyond graduate level by including more advanced structural elements such as steel plate girders, moment connections and pre-stressed concrete structures. The module is also designed to reflect current trends in the structural engineering industry, such as the use of composite materials, the propagation of performance-based design and the increase in complexity of fire design methods, as well as concepts that are currently of considerable research focus / R&D development such as the continuous strength method, the use of fibre-reinforced polymers and semi-continuous connections. Three of the sessions are delivered by practicing engineers in order to provide the students with a perspective on structural design from industry. In addition, the structural design coursework is designed to emphasise best engineering practice and structural design presentation (calculations and drawings). Template version: 8
