CIVL5269: Advanced Concrete Structures (2017 - Semester 2)
| Unit: | CIVL5269: Advanced Concrete Structures (6 CP) |
| Mode: | Normal-Day |
| On Offer: | Yes |
| Level: | Postgraduate |
| Faculty/School: | Civil Engineering |
| Unit Coordinator/s: |
Mohotti, Damith
|
| Session options: | Semester 2 |
| Versions for this Unit: |
| Campus: | Camperdown/Darlington |
| Pre-Requisites: | CIVL3205 OR CIVL5507 OR CIVL9205. |
| Brief Handbook Description: | The objectives of this unit are to provide an intermediate level of understanding of designing reinforced concrete members and structures; to provide a basic knowledge on computational methods used in practice to analysis and design of reinforced concrete structures (including softwares RAPT and ETABS); and to provide basic design training in a simulated professional engineering environment. At the end of this unit Students will gain proficiency in reinforced concrete analysis and design to an entry level graduate engineer. The syllabus covers the behaviour of reinforced concrete members and structures, including:, Flexural behaviour at service load and overload (stresses/ deformations/ time-dependence)- a continuation from concrete structures 1, design of flat slabs and flat plates, ultimate strength of columns (3D frame analysis), analysis and design of deep beams, footings, structural walls and retaining walls. This unit also gives students an opportunity to gain hands on experience on two key softwares used in current concrete design practice. |

Attributes listed here represent the key course goals (see Course Map tab) designated for this unit. The list below describes how these attributes are developed through practice in the unit. See Learning Outcomes and Assessment tabs for details of how these attributes are assessed.
| Attribute Development Method | Attribute Developed |
| ability to formulate and solve advanced design problems based on the application of engineering principles |
Design (Level 4) |
| understanding of the theoretical concepts and engineering fundamentals that provide the foundations for the calculation procedures used in advanced reinforced concrete analysis and design |
Engineering/IT Specialisation (Level 4) |
| Further develop calculation skills required for reinforced concrete analysis and design based on preliminary knowledge gained from Concrete Structures 1. |
Maths/Science Methods and Tools (Level 4) |
For explanation of attributes and levels see Engineering & IT Graduate Outcomes Table.
Learning outcomes are the key abilities and knowledge that will be assessed in this unit. They are listed according to the course goal supported by each. See Assessment Tab for details how each outcome is assessed.
Design (Level 4)| Assessment Methods: |

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Assessment Description: |
Assignments: Assignment 1 is an individual task and assignment 2 is a group task. Assignment 2: 30% for the design report and 10% for the group presentations in week 12 (Friday Week 12). Late submission penalties : 10% per day (this includes weekends) Final Exam: 3 hr final exam on topics to be advised. There may be statistically and educationally defensible methods used when combining the marks from each component to ensure consistency of marking between markers, and alignment of final grades with unit outcomes and grade descriptors. The University has authorised and mandated the use of text-based similarity detecting software Turnitin for all text-based written assignments. |

Course Goals
This unit contributes to the achievement of the following course goals:
| Attribute | Practiced | Assessed |
| Design (Level 4) | Yes | 60% |
| Engineering/IT Specialisation (Level 4) | Yes | 20% |
| Maths/Science Methods and Tools (Level 4) | Yes | 20% |
These goals are selected from Engineering & IT Graduate Outcomes Table which defines overall goals for courses where this unit is primarily offered. See Engineering & IT Graduate Outcomes Table for details of the attributes and levels to be developed in the course as a whole. Percentage figures alongside each course goal provide a rough indication of their relative weighting in assessment for this unit. Note that not all goals are necessarily part of assessment. Some may be more about practice activity. See Learning outcomes for details of what is assessed in relation to each goal and Assessment for details of how the outcome is assessed. See Attributes for details of practice provided for each goal.
