Design of Structural Elements

Aim: The purpose of this unit is to enable learners to develop an understanding of the factors that underpin the design of simple structural elements, and to use these to design structural elements in steel, reinforced concrete, masonry and timber, using codes of practice, design handbooks and computer software applications as appropriate.
