Paper Description

Edit Paper Description Content

This paper covers the design and analysis of the structural elements of a reinforced concrete (RC) building using the limit state design method. You will learn to apply structural analysis techniques in designing RC building in accordance with New Zealand Building Codes and Standards. Topics covered include the design and analysis of singly- and doubly-reinforced beams, short and slender columns (axially-loaded and eccentrically-loaded), and joint connections, including detailing and bending schedule. In addition, you will learn to understand the basic performance of concrete and steel as structural materials.

Assessment

Edit Assessments Content

This paper facilitates the development of the students’ ability to design and analyse a reinforced concrete building, including its structural members. In addition to the final exam, the learning outcomes will be assessed internally through assignments and a design team project.

A final project report and a presentation file need to be submitted by the due date. The students should also be available during the design show schedule to take place sometime between 15-17 October 2018 to present their design.

The Final Exam will be a closed book examination, and the topics covered will reflect the content of the whole course.
