    LEARNING AND TEACHING METHODS

    The subject will be delivered through a) pre-recorded materials on theory and design concepts, b) weekly interactive sessions to consolidate learning of the presented materials, and c) weekly workshops. In addition, students will undertake a design exercise that involves applying the learnt techniques in solving problems that are likely to be encountered in practice. 

    INDICATIVE KEY LEARNING RESOURCES

    Students will have access to lecture slides, recommended reading materials, Australian Standard AS3600 for the Design of Concrete Structures, Australian Standard AS4100 for the Design of Steel Structures, EXCEL spreadsheets showing examples of numerical simulations and SPACE GASS package. The subject's LMS site also contains worked solutions for all tutorial problems. 

    CAREERS / INDUSTRY LINKS

    Representatives from Steel Reinforcement Institute of Australia will contribute to the teaching of the subject. In addition, practising structural engineers will also contribute to the teaching of the subject and give advice on the assignment exercises.

    Students who successfully complete this course would typically find employment in a civil engineering consultancy or contracting company and could use the knowledge from this subject to propose designs or design variations under the supervision of a chartered professional engineer.
