Description
This subject introduces senior civil engineering students to the preparation and analysis of computer models of load bearing structures. Students learn how to establish loads on buildings in compliance with Australian standards and how to apply them correctly to the computer models they prepare. Building on subjects completed earlier for the design of structures, students extend their design skills by being introduced to commercial software programs for structural analysis in hands-on lab sessions.
