| Learning Outcomes: |
| Knowledge: |
| K1. | Discern the principles of design of steel frame buildings, as total systems and with regard to the design of individual components |
|
| K2. | Identify the considerations and processes in the design of various types of reinforced concrete slab systems, foundations and columns for strength |
|
| K3. | Identify the considerations and processes in the design of reinforced concrete beams and slabs for deflection control |
|
| K4. | Recognise methods of construction, design principles and the approaches to the design of prestressed concrete |
|
| Skills: |
| S1. | Create well-communicated and professional high-quality documents presenting analysis and design computations and computer modelling details and outcomes. |
|
| S2. | Develop computer models of complex structural systems and validate the results by independent manual means |
|
| S3. | Exercise informed judgement in making structural design decisions |
|
| S4. | Demonstrate effective teamwork in the completion of structural design tasks |
|
| Application of knowledge and skills: |
| A1. | Design steel/portal frame buildings, with due regard for relevant Australian Standards and contemporary construction practices |
|
| A2. | Design reinforced concrete flat slab floors and foundations for buildings, on the basis of flexure and two-way shear |
|
| A3. | Produce calculations and checks which will ensure that reinforced concrete beams and slabs comply with appropriate deflection controls |
|
| A4. | Design all aspects of reinforced concrete columns under given loads, on the basis of AS3600 |
|
| A5. | Develop the preliminary design of the prestressing requirements for concrete floors in buildings, on the basis of AS3600 and with due regard for current industry practice |
