Description
This module details elementary theory and techniques used in the analysis of statically determinate and statically indeterminate structural systems for shear, moment and deflection. Stress analysis and fundamental strut instability topics are also covered.
This module also details and applies the principles and methods used in the design of structural concrete to EN1992.
Learning Outcomes
On completion of this module the learner will/should be able to;
1.
Analyse the buckling of columns and the reactions, shear forces and bending moments in statically determinate frames.
2.
Analyse continuous beams and other statically indeterminate structures using the moment distribution method, including the calculation of reactions, shear forces and bending moments.
3.
Derive and apply equations for the analysis of composite beams in bending and beams subjected to unsymmetrical bending.
4.
Select an appropriate scheme design for a reinforced concrete building, defend design decisions and present findings both orally and in written form.
5.
Design and detail structural elements in reinforced concrete, and communicate the design in an appropriate manner.
Teaching and Learning Strategies
This module will be delivered to full-time learners through a mix of formal lectures and design practical classes.
This module will be delivered to part-time online learners through a mix of live online lectures and online tutorials. The lectures and tutorials will be recorded and made available to the learners through an online virtual learning environment.
To reinforce the theoretical principles covered in lectures, learners will participate in design practicals and project work.
Module Assessment Strategies
This module is 65% continuous assessment and 35% final examination at the end of the semester
The continuous assessment is based on a design project work and structural analysis practicals.
The design project will be a group project work that will incorporate calculations, sketches, reports, drawings, presentations and interviews that will be assessed on an ongoing basis to provide both formative and summative assessment to the learner. Both individual and team performance will be assessed at different stages during this project work with an emphasis on teamwork. The design project work is interdisciplinary and linked with Geotechnical Engineering 301.
The structural analysis practicals will be used to demonstrate and apply theoretical structural analysis principles developed during lectures.
Peer assessment will be incorporated into marks awarded for all practical work. The sizing of the slice method of group assessment (Clelford & Hopkins, 2014) will be used to allocate marks to the individual members of the project group. A copy of this method of allocating marks will be given to the students at the start of the module.

Repeat Assessments
The learner must pass all elements of the continuous assessment.
Where a learner or group of learners fail the project element of the module they will be required to resubmit the project or an alternative project for assessment or a repeat exam paper at the repeat examination session.
Learners who fail the end of module terminal examination will have the opportunity to resit the examination during the repeat examination session.
