Learning Outcomes
Course Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this course students will be able to:
1 Generalise the guiding principles of the serviceability limit state and the ultimate limit state concepts and how they relate to the design of structures. 2 Summarise the fundamental mechanics of reinforced concrete and the empirical assumptions made for analysis. 3 Identify reinforced concrete failure modes from crack patterns. 4 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. 5 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. 6 Apply fundamental mechanics to the design of reinforced concrete columns at the ultimate limit state including determination strength under uniaxial and biaxial bending. 7 Design basic structural elements (beams, columns and slabs) according to the design approach of AS3600.
The above course learning outcomes are aligned with the Engineers Australia .
The course is designed to develop the following Elements of Competency: 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 1.5 1.6 2.1 2.2 2.3 3.3 3.5

Learning & Teaching Activities
Learning & Teaching Modes
Lectures involve the delivery of course material, interactive problem solving and the completion of formative in-class problems.
Question answer sessions will be held during both tutorial and some lecture sessions. Tutorial assignments are designed to give students the chance to apply techniques learnt in class and to extend apply fundamental concepts to new types of problems. Both formative and summative tutorial problems will be provided and worked solutions will be available for formative problems after the submission of assignments.
A practical session will give students the opportunity to observe the behaviour of large scale reinforced concrete elements under a range of loading conditions. Results of the practical will form the basis for project work.Workload

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.

This assessment breakdown complies with the University's Assessment for Coursework Programs Policy.
This course has a hurdle requirement. Meeting the specified hurdle criteria is a requirement for passing the course.Assessment Related Requirements
Groupwork: Project work will be conducted in small groups and will be peer assessed. Further detail of the peer assessment is contained on MyUni. To maintain the integrity of the assessment there is a requirement that all students equally contribute to group work. Students will be required to indicate their individual contribution to the project and where there is evidence that group members have not sufficiently contributed to a group assessment task, the Academic Honesty Policy may be applied.
Exemptions: 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.Hurdles: In order to pass this course, students must obtain at least 40% for the exam. Where this exam hurdle is not met, students will receive a course result of the lessor of their calculated grade and the nominal grade of 45, Fail. An additional assessment exam will be available to eligible students. Students should refer to the Modified Arrangements for Coursework Assessment Policy for eligibility criteria. Students who do not pass the hurdle requirement cannot pass the course.
Assessment Detail
Details of all assessment tasks will be available on MyUni.
The exam will be closed book.
The in-class quizz will be a 2 hour closed book exam.
Summative tutorial assignments will run throughout the first 8 weeks of semester.
Project work utilising the results of the practical will run in the final 4 weeks of semester.Submission
No information currently available.
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.
