Credit points: 15
Subject outline
This subject Introduces the principles of the analysis of skeletal structures and basic structural design principles and methods with particular application to reinforced concrete. The analysis component focuses on basic concepts of structural analysis, determinate and indeterminate structures, moment distribution, influence lines, matrix methods of structural analysis, buckling analysis, plastic analysis, approximate methods and computer applications. The design component contains a revision of concrete technology, bending, shear and deflection equations and methods for reinforced concrete, application to beams (rectangular, T and L beams), application to slabs (one and two way, including flat slabs), the anchorage of reinforcement and member detailing and concrete column design.
