- For extensions starting with 3: dial +64 7 2620 + the last 3 digits of the extension e.g. 3123 = +64 7 262 0123.
What this paper is about
Following the structural analysis methods and challenges learned in papers ENGCV212 and ENGCV312, the students will learn how to design steel structures and advance their knowledge in the design of such structural systems.
In this paper, the students will learn how to carry out structural analysis and design of steel structures, including both cold-formed and hot-rolled steel. Lectures will cover the theoretical background needed to analyze and design typical steel structures. Examples of design compliant with AS/NZS codes will be reviewed and discussed in the lectures. The students will apply the acquired skills to complete the design of structural members and the preparation of the relevant technical drawings.
The learning outcomes for this paper are linked to Washington Accord graduate attributes WA1-WA11. Explanation of the graduate attributes can be found at: https://www.ieagreements.org/assets/Uploads/Documents/IEA-Graduate-Attributes-and-Professional-Competencies-2021.1-Sept-2021.pdf
How this paper will be taught
This paper is taught through lectures and practical sessions.
Lectures: Three 1-hour face to face lectures per week. These will also be recorded on Panopto and will be available after the live session.
Practical Sessions: One 2-hour session per week (divided into two streams). Students should sign up for one stream. Sessions will be on Wednesdays (11 AM to 1 PM) and Thursdays (11 AM to 1 PM). The work is individual so no groups will be assigned. Practical sessions will be run as computer labs.
Important Note for International Students: For international students in New Zealand under student visas, regular attendance is part of your visa obligation and is checked as a requirement by the University under the Code of Practice for the Pastoral Care of International Students, to which the University is a signatory. Academic staff are formally required to monitor attendance in classes and submission of compulsory assessment events/items and to report to Waikato International in the event that any problem with irregular attendance or non-submission is not resolved.

Assessments
How you will be assessed
This class has regularly scheduled assessments. Assessments are designed to provide you with opportunities to practice material as it is taught, increasing your ability to learn and internalize the concepts. This class is 100% internally assessed. The majority of marks come from assignments covering fundamental topics on the analysis and design of steel structures. There are two tests to check student knowledge of the initial topics.
Test 1: Cold-formed steel - application of EWM and DSM for the design of cold-formed steel beams and columns, 45-minute test in lecture Sep 4 – Weight 15%
Test 2: Hot-rolled steel - analysis and design and control of hot-rolled steel beam and column profiles, 45-minute test in lecture Oct 2 – Weight 15%
Assignment 1: DSM/EWM calculation for cold-formed steel compression members. Due week 31 (Jul 27) – Weight 10%
Assignment 2: DSM/EWM calculation for cold-formed steel flexural members. Due week 34 (Aug 17) – Weight 10%
Assignment 3: Hot-rolled steel beam design. Due week 39 (Sep 4) – Weight 10%
Assignment 4: Hot-rolled steel column design. Due week 40 (Sep 27) – Weight 10%
Assignment 5: Design of a cold-formed steel building. Due week 45 (Nov 3) – Weight 30%
The internal assessment/exam ratio (as stated in the University Calendar) is 100:0. There is no final exam.
