Description
This course will introduce you to the design of a range of steel and timber members and member connections using the relevant Australian Standards. You will also be introduced to the determination of appropriate design loads for structures and their components - in particular wind loads on structures. As this is a design course you will be expected to be proficient in the basic concepts of structural analysis and mechanics of solids.
Topics to be covered include: Design of steel members to resist individual and combined actions; Understanding of second order effects; Stability of building frames; Design of steel connections; Structural steel detailing; Wind loading on structures; Design of simple building frames; Use of Design Capacity Tables; Introduction to Timber Structures.
