Subject Overview:	This subject introduces more advanced methods of structural analysis and design, and their applications to the engineering of reinforced concrete and structural steel in compliance with the standards. Students will be given the opportunity to integrate the use of different materials into the design of contemporary structures through design projects
Objectives:	On completion of this subject students should be able: Implement Displacements Methods (involving the use of stiffness matrices) for the analysis of indeterminate beams and frames Apply a structural analysis package (eg. Spacegass) as applied to a common structural system Implement Virtual Displacement method and reciprocal theorem for the construction of Influence lines Implement Euler-Bernoulli Equations of dynamic equilibrium, SDOF systems in free vibration and Rayleigh method Implement impact response analysis involving the combined use of principles of conservation of momentum and energy Implement the design of RC beams, columns and slabs with combined loading Implement design of steel beams and columns subject to combined actions using bolted and welded connections Implement the design of thin walled sections for the determination of the shear centre and torsional analysis Describe the concepts of uniform/non-uniform torsion; asymmetrical bending Design structural systems involving the combined use of materials
Assessment:	One 3-hour examination, end of semester (70%) One 2000 word group assignment, due week 6 (10%) 4 x 250 word laboratory assignment reports, due at regular intervals throughout the semester (5% each)
