Aims and objectives

This unit aims to provide students with practical skills which are necessary for the structural design of buildings, and to put these skills into practice by working on industry engaged projects.
 
Unit Learning Outcomes (ULO)
 
On successful completion of this unit students will be able to: 
 
1. 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)
2. Carry out design of composite and prestressed concrete floors (K1, K2, K3, K5, K6, S1, S2, S3, A1, A5, A6)
3. 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)
4. 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)
