结构工程是公认的土木工程专业领域，但是两个领域非常相似。对于希望在该领域取得成功的人来说，这是一个完美的学位课程，因为它提供了我们非常成功的标准土木工程学位，但同时介绍了许多关键的专业领域。本课程扩展了必修课程中开发的基本刚度分析方法。详细介绍了刚度分析方法的基本原理，并自动组装了刚度联合的平面框架和空间结构的刚度矩阵。将进行框架的弹性不稳定性，以及采用塑性方法进行连续钢梁和门式框架的设计。使用屈服线理论分析平板和平板，还介绍了壳体。本课程以有限元分析方法的简要概述作为结尾，其中基于计算机的应用程序构成了
Structural Engineering is generally recognised as a specialist area of Civil Engineering but the two areas are very similar. This is a perfect degree programme for those looking to succeed in this field as it offers up our hugely successful standard Civil Engineering degree but introduces a number of key areas of specialism.<br>This Honours degree programme follows a similar structure to the straight MEng Civil Engineering degree. The major difference is the compulsory study of the Advanced Structural Analysis in year 4.<br>This course extends the basic stiffness method of analysis developed in the pre-requisite courses. Fundamental principles of the stiffness method of analysis, with automatic assembly of the stiffness matrix for rigid jointed plane frames and space structures, are presented in some detail. Elastic instability of frames, and the design of continuous steel beams and portal frames using plastic methods will be undertaken. Analysis of flat plates and slabs using yield line theory, and an introduction to shells also covered. The course concludes with a brief outline of the finite element method of analysis, with computer-based applications forming an important practical component.
