Learning outcomes
Students who successfully complete this unit will be able to:
- Undertake conceptual design for buildings covering floor layout and identify suitable lateral load resisting systems (K1, K2, K3, K5, K6, S1, S2, S3, A1, A5, A6)
- Carry out design of composite and prestressed concrete floors (K1, K2, K3, K5, K6, S1, S2, S3, A1, A5, A6)
- Calculate wind loads and seismic loads on multi-story buildings according to AS1170.2 and AS1170.4 (K1, K2, K3, K5, K6, S1, S2, S3, A1, A5, A6)
- Apply their knowledge of building design to design lateral load-resisting systems for multi-story buildings (K3, K4, K5, K6, S1, S3, S4, A1, A2, A4, A6, A7)
