Description including Unit Aims

This unit will enable students to develop analytical skills that can be used with confidence in the context of structural design, and to develop an appreciation of the elastic and inelastic behaviour of steel and reinforced concrete and its effect on structural design. Numerical analysis applications will cover Finite Element and Finite Difference procedures, and the assumptions and limitations will be explored.
