| Course description | This course explains the behaviour of steel and concrete structures, and explores how understanding of their behaviour is applied in structural design.
The fundamental mechanics of steel and concrete structural members are described. The role of design codes in interpreting observed and theoretical behaviour is explained, using the Eurocode methods to design steel and concrete members. |

Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes
By the end the course students should be able to:
- demonstrate understanding of how steel and concrete members behave and the models used to describe their behaviour;
- demonstrate ability to design steel and concrete building structures, by applying theoretical models, and by applying Eurocode design methods;
- communicate a design clearly through neat and accurate calculations, drawings, and technical reports of an appropriate length and level of detail. |

The following subjects will be covered during the course:
D1 Introduction to the Eurocodes; Design loads
Introduction to building design and the role of design codes; limit states; load cases and load combinations; appropriate use of spreadsheets and software in design.
C1 Flexural design of concrete sections
Ultimate limit state analysis and design of singly and doubly reinforced sections. The balanced section.
C2 Shear in concrete
Shear mechanisms in concrete; the variable angle truss analogy; strut and tie analogies; corbels.
C3 Moment redistribution; serviceability; detailing
Moment redistribution and ductility requirements in continuous beams and slabs; deflection and cracking at serviceability loads; bar placement, curtailment and anchorage checks.
C4 Design of concrete columns
N-M interaction diagrams; non-symmetric reinforcement; biaxial bending; slender columns; internal, external and corner columns.
C5 Design of concrete slabs
One-way, two-way and flat slab design; punching shear.
S1 Steel beams
Design of steel beams; plastic and stability failure; steel-concrete composite structural elements.
S2 Steel columns
Design of steel columns; local stability; effect of axial load on moment capacity; member stability; overall stability.
S3 Steel connections
