Introduction
This unit familiarises students with steel and timber materials technology, and the analysis and design of steel and timber structures. Students are introduced to the Australian Standards for Structural Design. There are design tasks and assignments, supported by weekly tutorial exercises, that explore detailed engineering requirements of structure, frame and element design. Students are also expected to use computer-aided design facilities and structural analysis applications for documentation of projects.

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. Determine the capacity of basic steel and timber structural members using the principles of solid mechanics and Australian Standards
2. Design steel and timber members and their connections for strength and serviceability using Australian Standards
3. Optimise steel and timber structures by applying new developments and techniques in steel and timber structures
