Learning Outcomes
Course Learning Outcomes
1. Generalise the basic material properties of concrete and reinforcement and their role in
the behaviour of reinforced concrete structures.
2. Apply fundamental mechanics and codified approaches (AS3600) to the design of reinforced concrete beams and
slabs at the serviceability limit state.
3. Apply fundamental mechanics and codified approaches (AS3600) to the design of reinforced concrete beams,
columns and slabs at the ultimate limit state.
4. Demonstrate an ability to work collaboratively, critically reflect, and deal with uncertainty when solving open-ended problems.
The above course learning outcomes are aligned with the Engineers Australia Stage 1 Competency Standard for the Professional Engineer. The course is designed to develop the following Elements of Competency:

Learning & Teaching Activities
Learning & Teaching Modes
This course is delivered in a flipped mode: lectures will be delivered online and should be viewed before coming to workshop sessions.
Workshop slots are used for providing additional examples and time for tutorial question answer sessions.
Tutorial assignments are delivered using a combination of online and traditional marking. Tutorials are designed to give students the chance to apply techniques learnt in class and to extend fundamental concepts to new types of problems. Both formative and summative tutorial problems will be provided and worked solutions will be available for summative 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.
Assessment Summary
Assessment Task Weighting (%) Individual/group Due Hurdle criteria Leaning outcomes Topic based tutorials 20 Individual Weeks 2-12 1-4 Quizes 20 Individual TBA 1-3 Project 10 Group Week 13 1-4 Exam 50 Individual Examp period min 40% 1-3 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 AcademicHonesty 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

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.
