Presented By Mohd Khairy Burhanudin
Prepared by Ir. Mohammad Soffi Md Noh
Structural design is a process to identify the rigidity,
stability, strength and capacity of structures. The basic
objective is to produce a structure that has the
capability of resisting all applied loads without failure
during its intended life. This course will introduce
students to the basic design philosophies of different
Synopsis structural system. Scopes of study include an
introduction to the basic design concept of limit state
design and code of practices, planning and design
process of different structural element, structural
loading and analysis, design of reinforced concrete
beam, design of a timber beam and column and finally
the introduction of prestressed concrete structure.
