Paper Description

Edit Paper Description Content

This course is about the behaviour of structures under loads. Those enrolling in this paper are expected to have successfully completed Engineering Mechanics and are therefore able to calculate forces and moments in bars, beams and pin-jointed frames, and have an understanding of the meaning of direct stress in materials.

Topics covered include: normal and or shear stresses in structural elements such as bars and beams; normal, shear and bearing stresses in connections and supports, displacements (translations and rotations); critical loads of columns; transformation of stresses, Mohr's circle for plane stress, and the use of failure criteria for design.

In addition to the use of equilibrium equations and freebody diagrams, the concepts of geometric compatibility, boundary conditions at supports and continuity conditions at connections will be covered.

Assessment

Edit Assessments Content

Internally assessed components in addition to the final exam, including tests, labs/assignments. Purely numerical errors will not generally be penalised but unreasonably high/low values without any comments may be subject to some penalty. Lack of clarity in the answers, including absence of freebody diagrams may lead to a reduction in marks.

The assignments/lab tasks will be uploaded onto Moodle prior to the dates given on the lecture schedule. Lab sheets will be handed out at the labs. Lab reports will not be marked unless the students attended a lab. If due to unavoidable circumstances, physical attendance at labs is not possible, the students still need to attend a virtual session to be able to gain credit for the report as otherwise no marks will be credited for the lab report.

The Final Examination will be a closed book examination, and the topics covered in the exam will reflect the content of the whole course.

Samples of your work may be required as part of the Engineering New Zealand accreditation process for BE(Hons) degrees. Any samples taken will have the student name and ID redacted. If you do not want samples of your work collected then please email the engineering administrator, Natalie Shaw (natalie.shaw@waikato.ac.nz), to opt out.
