1. What is this course about?

1.1 Course description
In this course you will learn about the design philosophy adopted by the Australian Standards. You will
develop the capacity to use design codes to determine the appropriate types of loads and combinations of
loads for service and ultimate limit state designs. You will learn to relate the code requirements to the
physical behaviour of elements and assemblages and to apply your knowledge of structural analysis and
understanding of materials to design fundamental steel and timber structural members and simple
structures. You also learn to design structures for stability (bracing).
1.2 Course content

• Limit state design and load evaluation.
• Concept of stability and bracing
• Influence of functional, environmental, aesthetic and economic factors on structural design.
• Structural applications of steel and timber materials.
• Analysis and design of steel and timber tensile, compression and flexural members.
• The design and detailing of connections for steel and timber structures.
• Use of design codes of practice.

Engineers Australia competencies assessed in this task:
1.1 Comprehensive, theory based understanding of the underpinning natural and physical sciences and the
engineering fundamentals applicable to the engineering discipline.
2.1 Application of established engineering methods to complex engineering problem solving.
2.2 Fluent application of engineering techniques, tools and resources
Assessment Task 2a: Design Project Stage 1 – Ultimate State Design
Goal: Engineers work in teams and this challenging design assignment will allow you to develop and
advance your collaboration skills while working on developing, designing and drawing the main
structural elements for the roof and walls of a new building (Site details, architectural drawings
and full project description will be supplied on Blackboard and in class).
Product:
Design report
Format:
In groups of 3-4, your group will determine the loading conditions required for the Limit State
Design of a proposed building. You are required to determine the design loadings (ultimate and
service loads incl. wind load, etc.) for the building in accordance with the Australian Loading Code:
AS/NZS 1170 set.
Your team will provide preliminary sketches by team members (neatly hand drawn) of the
proposed structure and stability concept bracing layouts for both the roof and walls of the building
design.
NOTE: Your structural solution of the building must be adapted to the technical requirements of
steel and timber constructions (Tasks 1b and 1c).
Manual calculations will be used for this project. Design Capacity Tables or computer packages
may be used as a check of your design but not for the original calculations and submissions.
Note: In practice, both could be used for the final design, but until you have enough experience to
understand the limitations of Design Capacity Tables and/or the results of the computer design and
judge whether they are realistic, it is best to design manually and check with the other.
Page 5
In your team you will collaborate to write the report as per conventions (see BlackBoard). The
report is of 450 to 600 words or equivalent (excluding sketches, diagrams, calculations &
Appendices) and calculations with correct units throughout (scanned copies of hand calculations
are acceptable). If relevant, you can include captioned diagrams, tables of data, graphs,
photographs adequately referenced.
The names of all team members are to be on the cover page of the report with all signatures and
student numbers.
Criteria
Assessment Criteria:
• Correct use of methodology and codes in determining loads and load combinations, in
particular wind loads, and building stability;
• Demonstrate understanding through use of correct design formulae and approaches;
and
• Inclusion of all workings showing a logical sequence to the problem solution.
You are awarded an individual grade for this task. Your mark may be determined by an algorithm
that uses the tutor’s mark and/or peer rating from your group. Marks are recorded and made
available to you through Blackboard

program. Further details to be provided on Blackboard and in class.

and student numbers.
Criteria
• Correct use of methodology and design codes in determining overall building stability
and performance of critical structural members of a proposed steel building;
