Learning Outcomes
Course Learning Outcomes
- Generalise the guiding principles of the serviceability limit state and the ultimate limit state concepts and how they relate to the design of structures.
- Summarise the fundamental mechanics of reinforced concrete and the empirical assumptions made for analysis.
- Identify reinforced concrete failure modes from crack patterns.
- Apply fundamental mechanics to the design of reinforced concrete beams and slabs at the serviceability limit state including determination of short and long term deflection and crack widths.
- Apply fundamental mechanics to the design of reinforced concrete beams and slabs at the ultimate limit state including determination of member strength (flexural and shear) and ductility.
- Apply fundamental mechanics to the design of reinforced concrete columns at the ultimate limit state including determination strength under uniaxial and biaxial bending.
- Design basic structural elements (beams, columns and slabs) according to the design approach of AS3600.
- Apply fundamental mechanics approaches to perform a non-linear analysis of reinforced concrete beams at both the serviceability and ultimate limit state.

Assessment
The University's policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following four principles:
- Assessment must encourage and reinforce learning.
- Assessment must enable robust and fair judgements about student performance.
- Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
- Assessment must maintain academic standards.
Assessment Summary
Assessment Task (type)
Weighting
SubmissionLearning Outcomes In-class test 5% Individual 4-7 Design projects 30% Group 2-8 Exam (3 hours) 65% Individual 1-8 Assessment Related Requirements
Requests for exemption from coursework components will only be considered when presented on an Exemption from Attendance Form. All exemption requests must be made by the end of Week 3 of Semester. Exemptions will not be considered for exams or in-class quizzes.
This course includes peer assessment for the tasks undertaken within groups. Further detail of the peer assessment is
contained on MyUni. To maintain the integrity of the assessment task(s) there is a requirement that all students within a group contribute to each assessment task. Where there is evidence that group members have not sufficiently contributed to a group assessment task, the Academic Honesty policy may be applied.
Assessment Detail
Full details of each assessment task will be provided through MyUni.Submission
All submissions for the course will be electronic, through MyUni. The deadline for all submissions will be 5 pm on the nominated day. A
penalty of 10% per 24 hours will apply for late submissions.
Students eligible for special consideration (e.g. elite athletes) are requested to advise the course coordinator as early as possible where alternate arrangements will be required.Course Grading
Grades for your performance in this course will be awarded in accordance with the following scheme:
M10 (Coursework Mark Scheme) Grade Mark Description FNS Fail No Submission F 1-49 Fail P 50-64 Pass C 65-74 Credit D 75-84 Distinction HD 85-100 High Distinction CN Continuing NFE No Formal Examination RP Result Pending Further details of the grades/results can be obtained from Examinations.
Grade Descriptors are available which provide a general guide to the standard of work that is expected at each grade level. More information at Assessment for Coursework Programs.

Student Feedback
The University places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.
SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the University to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

Fraud Awareness
Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.
