Prepare detailed design of civil steel structures
Assessment Task
Question 1 Provide any two (2) examples where steel is used for infrastructure.
Question 2 What are stringers?
Question 3 A simply supported non-composite beam is to span 10 m and support a concrete slab. Friction between slab and top flange will provide continuous lateral support to the whole of the top (compression) flange. The steel beam is to be designed for a factored design load 1.2G + 1.5Q = 40 kN/m including its own self-weight.
Select a suitable UB section in Grade 300 steel.
(a) from tables of section modulus.
(b) from AISC moment capacity tables.
Assume failure will occur by bending, not by shear.
Question 4 What does continuous design of a steel structure refer to?
Question 5 What is a conceptual design?
Question 6 What is a document management system?
Question 7 What does design verification refer to?
Question 8 What is the purpose of a design review?
Question 9 Identify each of the suspension bridge types shown below:
Question 10 Why is it important to have a good mix of skills in a design review panel?
Question 11 What does Public Utility Plant (PUP) show?
Question 12 What does the schematic design stage entail, including management roles anddeliverables?
Question 13 List any three (3) verification methods.
Question 14 What is shown in the following diagram?
Question 15 Why are designer listening skills a critical skill in receiving stakeholderfeedback?
Question 16 What does design validation entail?
Question 17 What purpose do universal beams serve?
Question 18 What is a dead load?
Question 19 List the steps in the design process.
Question 20 When are bracings required for rolled beam or plate girder bridges?
Assessment Task 2 (AT2): Project
Required documents and equipment:
- Computer with internet connection with access to MS Office and AutoCAD or Revit software.
- Hand held calculator.
- Student assessment booklet and a pen (organised by the student Book Our Assignment Help Service Now!).

Project Brief:
You are working in an engineering design consultancy and have been asked by the senior engineer to design a steel structure to support a mezzanine storage space in a steel fabrication shop. The structure involves a reinforced concrete platform supported on two steel beams which are supported on two girders spanning between two steel columns. See approximate plan and sections
below.
Your task is to design and detail all beams
Beams marked Beam A support the reinforced concrete slab and are supported on Beams marked Beam B
Beams marked Beam B support Beams marked Beam A and are supported on columns
There are four columns that carry the load down to the ground level.
The slab thickness is 250mm.
The size of the column may be taken as 250UC72.9
