Learning Outcomes
Course Learning Outcomes
This course builds upon the skills developed in Reinforced Concrete Design and extends them to advanced applications including: the design of prestressed concrete element,. The course is taught through the delivery of a realistic bridge design project that covers aspects of conceptual and preliminary design, determination of design actions and detailed design of super-structure components.Describe the basic properties of prestressed concrete constituents. The broad outcomes are as follows:
1. Analyse the flexural behavior of simple beams.
2. Calculate prestress losses for simple prestressed concrete girders.
3. Design prestressed concrete girders for flexure using current design procedures (Standards Australia, Australian Standard for Concrete Structures, AS3600).
4. Recognize the effects of transfer and development length on flexural and shear strengths.
5. Construct moment-curvature and load-deflection curves for a prestressed concrete beam.
6. Analyse and design prestressed concrete members for shear.
7. Understanding different types of bridges, bridge loadings and grillage analogy to determine the critical design action magnitudes.
8. Design of a medium span prestressed concrete bridge girder for bridge superstructures

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
Tutorial Assignments/Reports on Grillage Analogy & Prestressed Concrete-15% (Check regularly MyUni for assignments-submit scanned single pdf softcopies online)
Design project report (group of 3-4)- 55%- Start at week 6 & submit report in week12-Friday.
Quizzes – 30% (3hours; open book exam conditions; )
PASS HURDLE: You have to score at least 40% (12 marks out of 30 marks) allotted for the quiz to pass this course.
In accordance with the Assessment for Coursework Programs Policy, Procedure 1a. i: An exemption from the stated requirement that group assessment activities total no more than 30% has been granted.
Assessment Related Requirements
Policy for late submission of course work components:
Late submission of assignments and reports will result in deduction of marks at the rate of 10% of marks for every calendar day after the deadline for submission; submissions after 5 calendar days from due date will NOT be marked and will be awarded ZERO marks.
Solutions to assignments/quizzes/design project will NOT be provided by the lecturer.

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.
Final results for this course will be made available through Access Adelaide.

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’s disciplinary procedures.
The University of Adelaide is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The University of Adelaide therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.
