A behavioural approach is followed enabling the student to form a clear understanding of the underlying philosophies inherent to the formulations of member resistances contained in steel design codes. The course is based on the South African (or Canadian) design codes although different approaches contained in various design codes are discussed and compared in order to illustrate the development of theories Pertaining to structural resistance ‘A problem-driven approach to learning is followed. Student-centred and co-operative learning and teaching methods are applied during contact sessions, Students are expected to participate in discussions during these sessions. ‘The effective use and application of structural design techniques are essential to the practice of structural engineering. In the study of this module skills are developed which will enable the learner to understand the fundamental behaviour of steel members and structures and to design members and structures. 2 GENERAL Module Manager Prof B WJ van Rensburg | 12-7 Engineering! | Tet 012 40 2490 ben.vanrensburg@up.ac.za Tecturers| Prof B WJ van Rensburg Lecturers of the SAT Steel Construction | Dri de Clercq Mr ting Mr A Gebremeskel Enquiries Me A Scholtz 11-11 Engineering | | Tél: 012 420 3083 adri.scholtz@up.ac.za Lecture programme: Dates, times and venues for the lectures are given in the Departmental Timetable. Important: The module relies on lecturers, amongst others, from the S A | Steel Construction in Johannesburg. To accommodate the travelling of these lecturers from Johannesburg certain lectur days will be arranged in 4 hour lecture groups from 11:30 — 15:20. Thus if a student wish to attend all the lectures from the SAISC it is advisable not to enrol for a module in the 11:30 ~ 13:20 slot. Consulting hours: Consultation with the lecturers should be arranged during contact sessions. 3 STUDY MATERIALS Prescribed books: * CSIR: Mahachi, J: Design of Structural Steelwork to SANS 10162, Boutek, CSIR, Pretoria, 2004, + SAISC Redbook: Souther African Stee!

This module carries a weighting of 24 credits, indicating that on average a student should spend some 240 hours to master the required skis 4.2 Assignments Assignments, containing problems and exercises related to the subject matter are given. It is compulsory for students to submit the completed assignments. Late submissions will be penalized. The marks obtained are incorporated in the final mark. 5 ASSESSMENT Pass requirements: In order to pass the module a student must obtain a final mark of at least 60%, Tests: Four tests: one test in each block week. N.B. The frst test in the first block week is a revision test on under-graduate steel design knowledge. Further information will be made available on the material that will be covered in this revision test. n of the final mark: Tests: 35% Assignments: 15% Examination: 50% Calculat The exact dates, times and venues for the four tests (in the block weeks) will be arranged The date, time and venue for the examination are given in the Departmental Timetable, ‘Absence from tests: Any absence from tests must be supported by an official and valid statement (e.g. a medical certificate) and this document must be submitted to the lecturer within three days of the date ofthe test GENERAL ‘The policies, rules and arrangements of the University, Faculty, School and Department apply to all issues such as conduct, STievances, academic dishonesty and absence from scheduled activites, 2 STUDY COMPONENT / 1 MODULE OBJECTIVES, ARTICULATION AND LEARNING OUTCOMES 1.1 General Objectives The effective use and application of structural design techniques are essential to the practice of structural ‘engineering. In the study ofthis module, skils are developed which will enable the learner to: understand the fundamental behaviour of structural steel members and structures; design structural steel members and structures; design composite concrete slab / steel beam floor systems; design a wide range of steel! connections; critically evaluate designs; and synthesise low-tise steel structures. The general objectives of this module are to emphasise an understanding of the structural behaviour of structural steel members and structures and to stimulate creative thinking in this regard, in order to develop skills for the design of these members and structures. A problem-driven approach to leaming is followed, and student-centred and co-operative learning and teaching methods are applied during contact sessions. In order to achieve these objectives, attendance of and meaningful participation during lectures and tutorial Classes are essential. Furthermore, students are advised to embark on a well structured and systematic study Programme, in which the module material is studied in a probing, scientific and innovative manner, rather than by simple and passive memorising, 1.2 Prerequisite Learning: ‘An undergraduate module in Steel Design is a pre-requisite for this module, Before studying this module students are advised to revise the undergraduate modules in steel design and the subjects mechanics (or strength) of materials and basic structural analysis. 1.3. Articulation with other Modules Prerequisite module: SIC 791 Basic Stee! Structures or SIC 793 Basic Structural Design or equivalent, 1.4 Critical learning outcomes The following outcomes are addressed in the module, ie. at the conclusion of this module the student will be capable of Engineering problem solving: To solve simple real world structural engineering problems, such as the analysis end design of structural steel members ‘and frames, in a creative and scientific manner. Application of fundamental and scientific knowledge: The application of the fundamental principles and concepts of mechanics to predict the behaviour of structural steel and Feinforced concrete members and structures, and to understand the relationship between equilibrium, compatibility and the properties of materials in these structures. The calculation, interpretation and application of a variety of structural
