Note
Please check that your computer meets the minimum System Requirements if you are attending via Distance/Off-Campus.
Units are offered in attending mode unless otherwise indicated (that is attendance is required at the campus identified). A unit identified as offered by distance, that is there is no requirement for attendance, is identified with a nominal enrolment campus. A unit offered to both attending students and by distance from the same campus is identified as having both modes of study.
Special approval is required for enrolment into TNE Program units.
TNE Program units special approval requirements.
* The Final WW Date is the final date from which you can withdraw from the unit without academic penalty, however you will still incur a financial liability (see withdrawal dates explained for more information).
Learning Outcomes
1. Calculate internal forces, stresses and displacements in statically determinate 2D beam, frame and truss type structures comprising members of symmetric and asymmetric structural cross-sections.
2. Determine reactions and internal forces in statically indeterminate 2D frame structures using the Stiffness and Slope-Deflection methods appropriately.
3. Solve problems involving simple one- or two-member buckling with a variety of boundary conditions by formulating the differential equations from first principles.
4. Analyse internal forces and buckling in frame structures with a variety of loading, boundary conditions and connection types through the use of computer models using industry standard structural engineering software.
5. Communicate technical information relating to structural analysis to a discipline peers through a technical report that follows professional expectations, conventions and standards of presentation.
