This course is a Masters level course which is taught concurrently with a similar 4th year UG Advanced Structural Design course. The course syllabi and learning outcomes relate to advanced topics in structural steelwork and reinforced concrete design to the Eurocodes; specifically pre-stressed concrete, rigid frame design and composite construction.

1 hour lecture and one 1 hour tutorial every week plus 2 additional hours of lectures in weeks 7-10

This course aims to extend an understanding of and ability to demonstrate the principles and practice of modern structural design by considering the specific technologies of pre-stressed concrete, rigid structural steel frames and composite steel/concrete construction.

By the end of this course students will be able to:

1) compare the technological advantages and understand the appropriate use of pre-stressed concrete, composite construction and rigid frames in terms of structural efficiency and buildability.

2)understand and develop skills to analyse and design rigid steel frames, pre-stressed concrete and composite construction.

Students must submit at least 75% by weight of the components (including examinations) of the course's summative assessment.

Students should attend at least 75% of the timetabled classes of the course.

Note that these are minimum requirements: good students will achieve far higher participation/submission rates. Any student who misses an assessment or a significant number of classes because of illness or other good cause should report this by completing a MyCampus absence report.
