Overview
This unit introduces you to the basic principles and processes of structural design. You will learn how to design simple structural components made of steel and reinforced concrete under the supervision of a professional engineer. The concept of load action will be introduced and you will build on the structural analysis skills developed in Engineering Statics. Properties of common construction materials and structural sections will be reviewed in the context of sustainability. You will also develop your professional communication, problem-solving and ethical practice skills.
