Research/Design Project â Structures - CIVE70100
Aims
Undertaken over the final months of the course, you will aim to complete either: 1. One group-based conceptual design project and a detailed individual design project, or 2. One group-based conceptual design project and a research-oriented dissertation Both the Conceptual and Detailed Design projects may be undertaken in the design of a steel or concrete building, or a bridge. The principal aim of the Research/Design Project is to assess the capability of students to undertake independent research-based work. While the research focus of the dissertations is relatively clear, the detailed individual design projects also include a significant component of research (30% of the overall mark).

Structural Reliability Theory - CIVE70093
Aims
This module introduces you to the fundamental concepts and principles of structural safety. The approach to assessing the safety of both new and existing structures is considered, with techniques relevant for the latter being emphasised. You are also introduced to the most common quantitative approaches of structural reliability theory that will enable you to understand how such quantitative probabilistic approaches manifest in codes of practice. While the principle aim of the course is to promote an understanding of the methods of structural reliability theory, a secondary aim is for you to appreciate the power of probabilistic methods in structural engineering.
