What it covers
This unit introduces you to the design of structural elements in concrete, steel, timber and masonry in accordance with design codes. You will understand the design processes for various structural components and how the fundamental engineering science led to the development of the current concrete, steel, timber and masonry design codes. You will learn about the overall behaviour of structural elements including beams, columns, beam-columns, braces, and connections under realistic design conditions. You will relate this knowledge of structural design to practical design problems in a project-based learning environment.
