    Students require a sound knowledge of mechanics.


Learning outcomes

Unit Learning Outcomes express learning achievement in terms of what a student should know, understand and be able to do on completion of a unit. These outcomes are aligned with the graduate attributes. The unit learning outcomes and graduate attributes are also the basis of evaluating prior learning.

On completion of this unit, students should be able to:

demonstrate an understanding of complex structural behaviour including the effects of stiffness/flexibility, determinacy and indeterminacy

apply approximate analysis methods to develop order of magnitude estimations of structural actions

analyse complex structures by hand using established engineering analysis methods such as compatibility and equilibrium methods

analyse complex structures using computer modelling techniques.
