Learning Outcome 1: Use modern analytical techniques to quantify complex forces acting upon elements and components in common use.

Learning Outcome 2: Design structural steel and reinforced concrete elements used in bridges, water retaining structures, portal frames and multi-storey buildings. Justify the choice of material and design from a sustainability and CDM view point.

COURSEWORK

Design and analyse a single storey retail store building or an industrial building,(Emphasis and choice should include either arches, trusses or portal frames, braced frames). Choose and justify the choice of material and design from a sustainability and CDM view point. Calculate all the loads, (Dead, imposed and wind) and analyse the structural frame manually and with confirmation with computer software. Design the main elements of the structure (Beams, Columns, Foundation, Floor slab, Retaining wall). Design the main connections. Use the dimensions of the building as follows.

Length = [(dd+MM+YY)*300] mm

Width ((dd+MM+YY)*200) mm
