Structural Engineering

How built structures carry load: equilibrium and internal actions, the behaviour of members and frames, and design to the Eurocodes in concrete and steel. The materials are largely manufactured, so their properties are known — which is what makes it possible to design to a stated level of reliability.

6 courses

Foundational

Structural Analysis Fundamentals

Load paths and equilibrium, shear and bending moment diagrams, trusses, stress and strain, deflection and buckling — with interactive diagrams and worked examples throughout.

Before this: Algebra and basic mechanics

Foundational

Structural Behaviour

Work out how a structure will move, where the load goes and what the diagrams look like before you calculate anything. Every module asks you to predict first, then checks your answer against the working.

Before this: Basic statics and equilibrium

Intermediate

Structural Dynamics

Understanding vibration, earthquake response and dynamic structural behaviour: why structures vibrate, what changes when a load arrives quickly, and how to decide whether a dynamic analysis is needed at all.

Before this: Structural Analysis Fundamentals · Basic matrices from Module 9 onwards

Intermediate

Computational Engineering

Using computation to design, analyse and improve structures responsibly: what to model and what to leave out, which method fits the question, how to check the output, and where automation should stop.

Before this: Structural Behaviour · Structural Analysis Fundamentals · Basic programming is helpful, not required

Intermediate

Reinforced Concrete Design

How concrete and reinforcement work together, then beams, slabs, columns and foundations to Eurocode 2 — finishing with one design carried the whole way through.

Intermediate

Structural Steel Design

How a steel structure behaves, how to model it, how members are checked against instability, and how the design reaches the fabricator.
