This unit is designed to develop students' ability to apply fundamental knowledge and analysis method for structural steel design based on Australian Standards such as AS1170, AS4100. The topics covered include load calculations, design of tension member, design of compression member, design of bending member, design of combined actions, design of connections, and fatigue design, etc. Students who pass the unit have opportunities to work in areas such as analysis and design, construction and management of steel structures.<br/><br/>This is an introduction to the design of structural elements through the principles of limit states design. The unit includes the assessment of loads and load... -- Course Website
