Paper Description
This course is about the analysis of structures. Those enrolled in this paper are expected to have a foundation in engineering mechanics and the mechanics of materials, including, the ability to calculate: axial, bending and shear stresses, deflection due to loading, and buckling of members. This paper covers the analysis of statically determinate and indeterminate trusses, beams, and frames. Methods of analysis will include energy methods, displacement methods, force and stiffness methods.

Students who successfully complete the paper should be able to:
Assessment
Internal assessment will consist of two tests, tutorial assignments, a lab write up, and a project.
Purely numerical errors will not generally be penalised but unreasonably high/low values without any comments may be subject to some penalty. All work should be shown. Calculations and notes need to be legible and clear to follow. Lack of clarity in the answers, including the absence of free-body diagrams, will lead to a reduction in marks.
Tutorial assignments are available through Moodle and must be submitted on Moodle. All assignments must be submitted as a PDF file. No other file submission type is allowed unless specified.
Tests will be held in class during the lecture period as noted in the schedule.
The Final Examination will be a closed book examination, and the topics covered will reflect the content of the whole course.
The civil programme is going through the final accreditation processes in 2021. As such, all assessment items may be copied to use as evidence during the accreditation review.
Changes to assessments may be required due to rapid changes in COVID alert levels. Any changes will be communicated to students through Moodle.
Assessment Components
The internal assessment/exam ratio (as stated in the University Calendar) is 50:50. The final exam makes up 50% of the overall mark.

Online Support
A Moodle site will operate for this paper. Students are expected to use Moodle. All lecture material, notes, model answers, and other course material will only be available on Moodle. Moodle announcements will be used for communicating with the class. Please make sure you have the appropriate notification alerts set to receive course announcements.
Workload
As a 15 pts paper, you can be expected to spend 150 hours working on course-related material over the semester. This time is broken up between contact time (schedule time with an instructor) and non-contact time (individual study). A break down of activities and estimated time is broken up below.
Contact Hours:
- Lectures: 3 hours/week for 12 weeks - 36 hours
- Tutorials: 1 hour/week for 12 hours - 12 hours
- Labs: three 2 hour labs - 6 hours
- Total contact hours = 54
Non-contact hours:
- Tutorial Problems: Working through tutorial problems each week 3 hours/week for 11 weeks - 33 hours
- Lab: Analysing lab results and preparing lab write up - 12 hours spread over the semester
- Analysis Project: 15 hours
- Test revisions: 10 hours
- Exams revisions: 25 hours
- Total non-contact hours = 95 hours
