Students who have failed previous units of study should note that no special consideration will be given to them if they do choose to enrol in this unit of study (on the basis of timetable clashes or lack of knowledge of basics), and they are discouraged from enrolling in this unit of study. Students who have not yet passed first or second year units of study must enrol in those units of study in precedence to any later year units of study. It is assumed that students are competent in the following areas: the methods of load transfer in structures - tension, compression, bending, shear, torsion, and bearing; an appreciation of stress and strain, and being able to determine stresses and strains in simple sections under axial force, bending moments, shear and torsion; calculating and understanding the physical significance of geometric section properties : centroid, Ix, Iy, Zx, Zy, Sx, Sy, rx, ry, J, Ag; knowledge of the basic elastic-plastic material properties of steel, E, G, fy, fu; and knowledge of loading of structures. A special "assumed knowledge"lecture will be given in Week 1 to refresh the knowledge of students. |
