BLAR12054 Stuctural Design Processes (NC)

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 structural principles for residential and low rise commercial buildings, to have an adequate level of entry knowledge for this course.
