BEUG 6102

Dr Monower Sadique

 Module Code: 6102BEUG

Credit Value: 24.00
AIMS OF THE MODULE:
To develop and consolidate the structural application, design, evaluation and

analysis introduced at Level 4 and 5 with more advanced application to steel,

masonry, and concrete building elements/structures, using the current codes of

practice including the EC code of practices.
To emphasize sustainability, health and safety in design of reinforced concrete,

masonry, pavement, and steel structures.

 LEARNING OUTCOMES

After completing the module the student should be able to:

1. Critically analyse the design process and apply it to complex structural
elements using different building materials and under different environmental
and loading conditions.
2. Produce and critically review safe and economical design in accordance with
the current codes of practice.
3 Design more advanced structural elements in reinforced and pre-stressed
concrete, masonry, steel structures and pavement engineering for roads and
highways.
4. Produce and critically review safe and economical designs of structures in
accordance with the current codes of practice.

The legislation, codes and standards that relate to structural

engineering generally fall within three categories:
Eurocodes
BSI
International standards

Health and Safety Risk Management

Unlike many other industries, construction is still largely peopledependent. It is one of the most dangerous industries to work in during
the construction, maintenance and demolition phases.

Sustainability
Climate change is widely accepted as one of the greatest challenges
facing the world today

the new British standards for structural design

The Eurocodes become Britains new standards for structural

design on 1 April 2010

The structural Eurocodes are divided into 10 areas:

a task that never ends

For 125 years it has been an icon

of Victorian engineering
excellence, a symbol of Scotland
and even a favourite expression
for a never-ending task

Now, the Forth Bridge has been granted UNESCO World Heritage
Site status, putting it alongside the Pyramids of Egypt, the great Wall

of China and the Sydney Opera House in terms of cultural

significance

16

When it was opened on 4 March

1890 by the then Prince of Wales,

the Forth Bridge was the longest

cantilever bridge in the world and

the first major crossing made

entirely of steel.

Designed by two English engineers, Sir John Fowler and Benjamin

Baker, and took 8 years to build at a cost of 3.2m. 71workers are
17
known to have been killed during construction.

It has 11,000 glass panels.
The area of the glass facade is 602,779 ft
squared (56,000m squared), which equals 8
football pitches.
There are 306 flights of stairs.

The highest reinforced concrete core-walls were pumped using 80

A 25m swimming pool linking the tops of two 10-storey

towers is to be built in London

It's hoped that it will be complete by the summer of 2019, but the
concept does not come without challenges - especially given that the

pool will be subject to forces exerted on it by the two adjacent

buildings, which have been constructed on separate foundations.
