Module Description This module aims to introduce students to an understanding of the behaviour of statically determinate structures and an appreciation of the concept of statical equilibrium and determinacy. It addresses the fundamental relationship between loads, shear force, bending moment as well as the effect of combined shear and direct/bending stresses. Students are also introduced to the deformability of structures and the principles of static indeterminacy and the methods of analysis of simple indeterminate forms. The design part of the module is in three parts: Timber, Concrete and Steel Design. The aim is to: - Introduce the students to basic design philosophies and procedures used in the design of structural elements in buildings constructed with these three most common building materials. - Link knowledge of structural forms, loading, structural analysis and materials behaviour - Help the students to appreciate the importance of producing structural drawings of elements in sufficient details for construction and/manufacture. The module is designed to cover the fundamentals of structural design for timber beams and floors; concrete beams, one-spanning concrete slabs and unrestrained steel beams. It will cover strut or column design with axial, eccentric and biaxial loading for timber, concrete and steel and masonry walls and piers. Students are expected to learn mainly through application of the design theory covered in class and by completing the design coursework and tutorial exercises and through independent study. It is envisaged that students undergoing this course will gain an appreciation of the role of the designer in the construction process and have an understanding of the design process. Employability skills - Students will acquire knowledge which will enable them to design and detail structural elements in accordance with current Eurocodes.

3 6b. Outline Content Knowledge and Understanding - Behaviour of beams considering, load, shear force, bending, slope and deflection. - Vertical and horizontal shear stress distribution for rectangular cross sections. - Combined shear and direct/bending (Mohr's circle) to obtain principal stresses. - Example of the design processes from first principles to check the adequacy of steel columns or timber struts with eccentric load and biaxial bending stresses under foundations. - Deflections of members by direct integration and moment area method. - Analysis of indeterminate structures by moment distribution method for continuous beams and symmetrical portal frames. - Characteristic and design loading on members from self-weight imposed loads, including triangular loads and load combinations. Loading from one and two-way slabs. - Loading: Self weight and imposed, shear force, bending moments and axial/eccentric loading - Timber design: Design of simply supported beams and joists. Design of timber struts with axial and eccentric loads. - Reinforced concrete beams and slabs: Theory and application to simply supported beams, simply supported and continuous solid slabs, bending, shear and bond requirements. Introduction to simple reinforcement detailing. - Reinforced concrete columns: Main considerations, effective column heights, slenderness ratios, design of short columns. Reinforcement detailing. - Steel Beam Design: Limit state approach to rolled steel members, restrained and un-restrained simply supported beams. - Steel columns: Design of rolled steel columns subject to axial load only and members subject to bending plus axial loads. - Masonry design: Design of solid and cavity walls, and brick piers. - Where possible comparison to be made between computer software and manual solutions. Skills Analysis - Produce calculations in a clear and standard format. - Correct use of specialised terminology commonly used within the industry. - Problem-solving in relation to materials and methods of construction. - Managing time effectively. - Developing appropriate undergraduate study skills related to the acquisition and use of design information. - Questioning current theories and practice. - Tackling and solving mathematical problems in relation to structural calculations and design. - Accessing, storing and retrieving information. - Assimilating, memorising and recalling knowledge. - Acting in an ethical manner. 6c.
