General Information

Overview

Concrete Design is an advanced civil engineering unit that introduces the analysis and design of complex reinforced and prestressed concrete structures. In this unit, you will develop knowledge of state-of-the-art construction materials and design technologies in the context of structural engineering and environmental sustainability. You will be expected to conceptualise the vertical and horizontal load resisting mechanism of concrete structural systems, interpret and apply the relevant Australian Standards, and ensure the designed structure/structural components also meet the serviceability and stakeholder requirements. The use of commercial computer software is required to analyse and design these structures. In this unit, you will document the processes involved in modelling, analysis, design, and communication, and work and learn, both individually and in teams in a professional manner.

Attendance Requirements

All on-campus students are expected to attend scheduled classes - in some units, these classes are identified as a mandatory (pass/fail) component and attendance is compulsory. International students, on a student visa, must maintain a full time study load and meet both attendance and academic progress requirements in each study period (satisfactory attendance for International students is defined as maintaining at least an 80% attendance record).

Website

This unit has a website, within the Moodle system, which is available two weeks before the start of term. It is important that you visit your Moodle site throughout the term. Please visit Moodle for more information.

Previous Student Feedback

Feedback, Recommendations and Responses

Every unit is reviewed for enhancement each year. At the most recent review, the following staff and student feedback items were identified and recommendations were made.

Feedback from SUTE

Feedback

Assessment Feedback could be improved.

Recommendation

A grading rubric should be given to the students at the start of each assessment and feedback should be provided based on the rubric.

Feedback from SUTE

Feedback

The content is huge and many sections require more time to understand.

Recommendation

This is a 12-credit unit and the students are expected to commit at least 25 hours towards this unit each week. From 2024, pre-recorded lectures should be provided, and scheduled classes should be used as interactive sessions to discuss the weekly tutorial and unit contents. This should give them more time to review the lecture, practice tutorial questions, and clarify their queries on time.
