Course overview
The aim of this course is to: continue to develop students' in-depth understanding of structural principles in reinforced and pre-stressed concrete structure; enable students to use advanced analysis and design techniques in concrete structures; provide an overview of pre-tensioned and post-tensioned design; analysis and design for flexure, serviceability and losses; apply these techniques to bridge design; research advances in concrete design.
Course learning outcomes
- Knowledge of concrete structures including prestressed concrete structures and gain technical competence in design of prestressed concrete members for strength, stability and serviceability.
- Critically review recent research in advanced concrete design and analysis.
- Competence in advanced structural analysis and design techniques for concrete structures.
- Command of Australian and international standards.
- The ability to communicate design processes and outcomes in a manner acceptable to the engineering profession, through calculations and drawings.
