Description

A course on the design of structural elements subject to bending, shear and combined bending and axial compression. Topics covering both concrete and steel design will be covered. These include: concrete mechanical properties, reinforcement types and properties; durability requirements; behaviour of reinforced concrete crosssections in bending at both service and ultimate loads; ultimate strength analysis and design of cross‐sections in flexure (singly and doubly reinforced, ductility); serviceability analysis and design of beams (cracked section analysis, deflection and crack control); ultimate strength in shear; bond anchorage and curtailment (simple and continuous beams and one‐way slabs); short and slender concrete columns (interaction diagrams); laterally unsupported steel beams (lateral‐torsional buckling in bending and shear strength); design of plate girders (local buckling in shear, combined shear and bending, intermediate transverse stiffeners, web crippling – buckling and yield limit state); steel beam‐columns (in‐plane and out‐of‐plane failure); steel members subjected to biaxial bending; steel connections and detailing (force and moment connections); timber beans in bending and shear; simple connections.
