Syllabus
Statically Determinate Structures: Introduction, Revision of concepts (actions, free body diagrams, shear and bending moment). Stress and Strain, Compatibility of Deformations, Superposition. Deflection: double integration, moment area methods, virtual work. Statically Indeterminate Structures: Concepts, Equilibrium and compatibility. Development of slope deflection equations and application to beams. Development of moment distribution equations and application to beams.

Introduction
This unit presents the theory and application of structural analysis as applied to trusses and statically determinate and indeterminate beams . It emphasizes the skills of modelling and analyzing structures in response to loading applications. The methods presented are regarded as classical methods of analysis, that is, methods not requiring the use of computers to solve, highlighting the need to develop an understanding of structural behavior.

Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this unit students can: 1 Apply key concepts of stiffness and strength, equilibrium and compatibility to the analysis of structures 2 Discern the appropriate analysis technique or concepts to quantify and compare key structural responses 3 Effectively communicate structural analysis concepts and applications Graduate Attributes addressed

Learning Activities
Lectures in this unit present the theory and application of structural analysis as applied to statically determinate and indeterminate beams and determinate trusses. Lectures are a mixture of theory and illustrative examples. Lecture resources must be supplemented by the student from the essential learning resources which can provide numerous examples, modeled solutions, simulations and more detailed notes on the theory of analysis. The skills of applying theory to model and analyse structures in response to loading applications, and communicate the understanding of structural behavior are accomplished in the workshops which are facilitated by tutors. Students must take an active role in the learning activity of workshops and students demonstration of learning outcomes will be assessed in the workshops. Assessment tasks are learning activities in which students develop and reveal their competency in structural analysis. Students are directed to self-evaluate structural behavior in their every-day lives.

Detailed information on assessment tasks

1. Investigation assessments (of which there are three (3) worth 4% each) consist of a number of structural analysis
modelling questions and may include brief written responses, multiple choice questions and/or numerical calculations. Their content reflects the theory and examples presented in lectures and mastered via other learning activities. All investigations are to be completed on an individual basis and students are advised to familiarize themselves with academic integrity guidelines which states in part: Collusion should not be mistaken for collaboration. Where collaboration is shared contribution towards a group task, collusion is an agreement made with another person to deceive others. In academic work, it can occur in the following situations: If you work together with others on an assignment that is meant to be individual work (also referred to as collaborating too closely). It can also occur if you assist another student to complete an assignment contrary to instructions. The result may be that each of you hands in a very similar piece of work without admitting to the collaboration. It is acceptable to get help from or provide help to others, and to discuss ideas and strategies, but you should only take notes and then independently complete your assignment. This will prevent too many similarities in your work and reduce the possibility of being accused of cheating. Page14/22 http://academicintegrity.curtin.edu.au/local/docs /StudentPlaigiarismGuide2011.pdfhttp://academicintegrity.curtin.edu.au/students/ Late assessments will not be accepted unless an application for deferred assessment is received and accepted by the Unit Coordinator.

2. Students will be assessed on their demonstration of learning outcomes in the workshop session via an assigned exercise; the exercises will be completed in small groups and assessed in workshop. Nonattendance at your enrolled workshop will result in a null grade for the exercise unless an application for deferred assessment is received and accepted by the Unit Coordinator. 3. The mid semester test will evaluate student progress mid-way through the semester and assesses students comprehension and application of the syllabus that has been presented up to and including week 4 via readings and resources, lectures, tutorials, investigation and excercise. The test is conducted outside scheduled lecture time, venues will be advised via Blackboard. The format of the mid semester test will be advised during semester. The mid semester test may consist of multiple choice and/or short answer and/or calculations. For students with a disability or medical condition (also refer to Disability in the Unit Outline) note that it is the responsibility of the student to advise the Unit Coordinator of the requirements for school based examinations/tests at least 2 weeks before the examination/test date. 4. Examination details will be provided via Blackboard, the examination is conducted in the usual University examination period. A minimum grade in the examination is required in order to pass this unit refer to Pass Requirements.

Fair assessment through moderation
Moderation describes a quality assurance process to ensure that assessments are appropriate to the learning outcomes, and that student work is evaluated consistently by assessors. Minimum standards for the moderation of assessment are described in the Assessment Manual, available from policies.curtin.edu.au/policies/teachingandlearning.cfm

Late Assessment Policy

This ensures that the requirements for submission of assignments and other work to be assessed are fair, transparent, equitable, and that penalties are consistently applied. 1. All assessments which students are required to submit will have a due date and time specified on the Unit Outline. 2. Accepting late submission of assignments or other work will be determined by the unit coordinator or Head of School and will be specified on the Unit Outline. 3. If late submission of assignments or other work is not accepted, students will receive a penalty of 100% after the due date and time ie a zero mark for the late assessment. 4. If late submission of assignments or other work is accepted, students will be penalised by ten percent per calendar day for a late assessment submission (eg a mark equivalent to 10% of the total allocated for the assessment will be deducted from the marked value for every day that the assessment is late). This means that an assignment worth 20 will have two marks deducted per calendar day late. Hence if it was handed in three calendar days late and marked as 12/20, the student would receive 6/20. An assessment more than seven calendar days overdue will not be marked. Work submitted after this time (due date plus seven days) may result in a Fail - Incomplete (F-IN) grade being awarded for the unit.

Pass requirements
Achieve a grade/mark greater than or equal to 5/50 Achieve a minimum of 45% (22.5 out of 50) for the Examination

Referencing style
Students should use the Chicago referencing style when preparing assignments. More information can be found on this style from the Library web site: library.curtin.edu.au.

Plagiarism
Plagiarism occurs when work or property of another person is presented as one's own, without appropriate acknowledgement or referencing. Plagiarism is a serious offence. For more information refer to academicintegrity.curtin.edu.au.

Plagiarism Monitoring
Work submitted may be subjected to a plagiarism detection process, which may include the use of systems such as 'Turnitin'. For further information, see academicintegrity.curtin.edu.au/students/turnitin.cfm.

Additional information

Recent unit changes

We welcome feedback as one way to keep improving this unit. Students are encouraged to provide unit feedback through eVALUate, Curtin's online student feedback system (see evaluate.curtin.edu.au/info/). Recent changes to this unit include: Student responses to the areas of improvement focus attention to changes in the unit in 2013. The lecture times will be reduced and greater emphasis placed on the worshops as a learning activity and place where learning outcomes can be assessed and demonstrated. A field work assignment was newly introduced in 2012 and issues with feedback timeliness and expectations will be better managed in 2013 as the assessment task is refined and incorporated into the workshop based assessments.

See evaluate.curtin.edu.au to find out when you can eVALUate this unit.
