This final year design Course represents the end point of many other courses including Engineering Statics, Stress Analysis, Structural Design I, Concrete Structures and Structural Analysis. The course applies the knowledge and skills developed in those earlier courses to the design of standard structural systems in an integrated approach. The course introduces complex loading evaluation and development of conceptual designs, influence lines for structures, methods of solving complex structural problems using Finite Element software, design and detailing of reinforced concrete structures including non-flexural reinforced concrete members using the strut-and-tie-model approach, analysis and design of steel members under combined loading actions and steel connections. This course also introduces advanced topics of structural dynamics.

The course objectives define the student learning outcomes for a course. On completion of this course, students should be able to:

1. evaluate complex loading conditions and develop conceptual designs of structural systems;
2. solve influence line problems;
3. undertake complex structural analyses of frames and 2D problems using a FEA software and check the validity of computer outputs;
4. analyse, design and detail reinforced concrete structures including elements of walls and footings, framed structures and non-flexural reinforced concrete members using strut-and-tie approach using Australian standards;
5. analyse, design and detail steel structures under combined loading actions and steel connections using Australian standards;
6. integrate the knowledge and skills developed in earlier courses of structural engineering and mechanics and apply these skills to the design of structural systems;
7. analyse simple structural dynamics problems.
