Content
This unit addresses advanced topics in the structural design of steel-concrete composite and, timber structures according to the Australian design codes. It examines various design parameters and construction materials to ensure their efficient use in structural applications. Relevant design rules/codes will be thoroughly covered to make students aware of the ongoing changes as new technologies emerge. Theories will be covered with a focus on practical applications. Fundamental concepts of design procedures will be introduced through design seminars and projects.
Hurdle requirement
To be eligible to obtain a pass in this unit, students must achieve a mark of at least 50% in the composite design report (AT2).
