Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes
By the end of the course, the student should be able to:
&· apply general stress-strain curves to analyse the stress distribution on a general section under combined bending and compression/tension
&· calculate the ultimate moment and compression capacity of various steel sections;
&· calculate the ultimate moment and compression capacity of various reinforced concrete sections;
&· calculate the ultimate moment and compression capacity of various composite (e.g. steel-concrete, FRP-concrete etc.) sections;
&· develop M-N interaction curves for any sections made of any materials (e.g. steel, concrete, masonry, composite) for a given constitutive model;
&· calculate the ultimate capacity of common sections made of common materials under cobined bending and compression;
&· understand the behaviour of prestressed concrete. |
