COURSEOVERVIEW Theaimofthiscourseistoundertakeanadvancedcoverageofvarioustopicsrelatingtothe designofconcretestructures.ThecourseistargetedatstudentswhospecializeinStructural Engineeringandareintheearlystagesoftheircareer. During this course you will be supported in polishing the core skills, qualities and understandings developed previous in undergraduate courses and in your early career and the hone your structural engineering skills associated with your role as a Structural Engineer. SUBJECTDESCRIPTION A dynamic course in the design of reinforced concrete structures to AS36002009 and international standards using advanced methods of analysis and design. Topics covered will be chosen from: concrete materials, failure theories, models and behaviour under load; design using linear stress analysis; strutandtie modelling; torsion; serviceability; detailing and special provisions for the use of high strength concretes; collapse load methods for the designofregularandirregularslabs. OBJECTIVES toreinforceyourknowledgeofreinforcedconcretedesign

TEACHINGSTRATEGIESEXTERNALDELIVERYMODE Teaching will be via recorded lectures and tutorials and will focus on the development and applicationofgeneralisedproblemsolvingprocessesfortheanalysisanddesignofconcrete structures. A series of assignments will be issued to hone your skills in each of the various topics. ACCESSINGLECTUREMATERIALS Lecture videos and presentation files are located on the DVD provided. The lectures are designedtobeundertakeninaweeklyperiodasscheduledintheCourseProgramme. Additional lecture material, tutorials and assignments will be provided via Moodle, which can be accessed at: http://telt.unsw.edu.au/ and Click on the link Login for Moodle. UNSW Moodle support for students is available via the link teaching.unsw.edu.au/moodlestudents. SUGGESTEDAPPROACHESTOLEARNINGINTHECOURSE Suggestedapproachestolearninginthiscourseinclude: Lectures and tutorials: Listen to recorded lectures and take appropriate notes. Read the textbook material, indicated in the course programme, and the additional notes provided. Use the examples given in the text as tutorial questions and check your answers using the answers provided. Additional tutorials will be provided from time totimeandsolutionspostedonMoodle.

EXPECTEDLEARNINGOUTCOMES Aftercompletingthiscourse,youwillbeableto: demonstrate an understanding of advanced concepts in the design of reinforced concretestructures,and design nonregular structures using advanced concepts such as by stress analysis or strutandtiemodellingorcollapseloadmethods. ASSESSMENT Assessmentwillbebasedonassignmentsandafinalexam. Therelativevalueofeachoftheassessabletasksisasfollows: Assignments 30% FinalExam(3hour) 70% A minimum of 40 % is required in the final examination, and an overall mark of 50%, is required for a candidate to be awarded a pass mark in this subject. If a final exam mark of less than 40% is obtained then the assessment is based solely on the final examination mark.
