structural design for non-structural engineers
DESCRIPTION
This course will help you gain the basic knowledge of structural engineering including principles of analysis of structures and their application, behaviour of materials under loading, selection of construction materials and design fundamentals for RCC and steel structures. The emphasis has been kept on the determination of the nature and amount of stress developed under loads, and the way structures offer resistance to it. Being the most widely used construction materials, RCC and steel have been covered in detail, though masonry and timber have been described briefly as well. http://www.idc-online.com/content/structural-design-non-structural-engineers-25?id=122TRANSCRIPT

Structure
Structure is an assembly of components, constructed in such a way which makes them act together against stress conditions

Purpose
• The purpose of engineering a structure is to ensure: – safety – functionality– economy
…under the most severe condition
during its lifespan

Analysis
• Application of Principles of Mechanics to determine:
– Distribution of load based on configuration– Induced force in each individual member

Design
• Determination of combination of material/size for the members on the basis of the Principles of Strength of Materials, to ensure:
– Non-failure of the material– Acceptable level of deformations– Overall economy
