Theory of structures 4B
J G Sanjayan and R Al-Mahaidi
5 points * 26 lectures, 13 tutorials, 6 workshop hours * Second semester * Clayton * Prerequisites: CIV3228, CIV3230
Objectives The student is expected to develop knowledge and understanding of (a) the plasticity theorems, their use in the design of structures and the role of ductility in structural design and (b) the behaviour under load of prestressed concrete members and the methods of design and detailing used for strength and serviceability.
Synopsis Direct plastic design of frames. Slab design; Hillerborg's strip method, yield line analysis; reinforcement design using plastic theory. Theory of prestressed concrete; behaviour under load of PC members, flexural strength design of beams, concepts of full and partial prestressing, serviceability criteria, sources of prestressing losses, estimation of deflections and design for shear strength.
Assessment Examinations (3 hours): 70% * Assignments: 30%
