BLAR12054  Stuctural Design Processes

Offered from Winter 2002

This course develops an understanding of: structural drawings and computational methods associated with reinforced concrete and steel structures; design processes for reinforced concrete structures including; approximate analysis and sizing of members; singly reinforced beams; doubly reinforced beams; T beams; L beams; One-way slabs; Two-way slabs; columns – short and long; footings; design process for steel structures including approximate sizing of beams and columns, tension members, compression members, beams, columns – short and long, stiffeners and connections.Students will require Queensland Maths B and C at Year 12 level (or equivalent), and should have completed introductory in structural principles for residential and low rise commercial buildings, to have an adequate level of entry knowledge for this course.
