| # |
Learning Outcome Description |
| LO1 |
Determine stresses due to bending in beam cross-sections and carry out simple beam design |
| LO2 |
Evaluate shear stresses in rectangular and non-rectangular cross-sections |
| LO3 |
Determine the state of stress in a structure subject to combined bending and direct stress |
| LO4 |
Calculate stresses due to bending moment in composite sections and carry out simple design of composite beams including reinforced concrete |
| Dependencies |
Module Recommendations
This is prior learning (or a practical skill) that is strongly recommended before enrolment in this module. You may enrol in this module if you have not acquired the recommended learning but you will have considerable difficulty in passing (i.e. achieving the learning outcomes of) the module. While the prior learning is expressed as named MTU module(s) it also allows for learning (in another module or modules) which is equivalent to the learning specified in the named module(s).
|
|
Incompatible Modules
These are modules which have learning outcomes that are too similar to the learning outcomes of this module. You may not earn additional credit for the same learning and therefore you may not enrol in this module if you have successfully completed any modules in the incompatible list.
|
| No incompatible modules listed |
Co-requisite Modules
|
| No Co-requisite modules listed |
Requirements
This is prior learning (or a practical skill) that is mandatory before enrolment in this module is allowed. You may not enrol on this module if you have not acquired the learning specified in this section.
