PHILOSOPHY: The objectives of the course are to:  Introduce structural design and loading in particular relation to timber design  Review and extend structural analysis for determinate and indeterminate structures (moment area deflection and moment distribution method)  Show how loads are collated and tracked through a structure to the foundation.  Provide an overview of timber structural forms.  Introduce structural design standards (Design Actions & Timber).  Understand and apply design concepts involved in structural timber design.  Introduce LVL, plywood and nailed moment connections in portal frames

ASSESSMENT: For Structures & Design 2, 30 marks are allocated to the course work (test and assignments) and 70 to the exam. Students must achieve a minimum 50% in the final exam to pass the course. Revision for the examination helps tie the different parts of the paper together, and hence is seen as an essential part of the learning programme. The exam is a 3-hour restricted book examination, where the student’s standards of practice can be taken into the exam room (standards may have minor annotations as detailed during the course). Students are encouraged to work in groups in the tutorial periods to discuss the way they plan to do the assignment and undertake preliminary calculations. Provided all students participate this is a very efficient way of learning about design. However, the final calculations are to be the individual effort of each student in that after such consultation, or joint effort, each student is to individually work through the assignment from scratch with a fresh set of his or her own calculations. LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Students who complete this course should be capable of analysing simple indeterminate structures and be able to make detailed design calculations for timber structures.
