| Module Description: |
This module will provide the learner with a comprehensive understanding of the design of prestressed concrete and masonry. |
| Learning Outcomes |
| On successful completion of this module the learner will be able to: |
| LO1 |
Apply the principles of prestressed concrete design |
| LO2 |
Design pre-tensioned and post-tensioned concrete beams, floor slabs and bridge beams |
| LO3 |
Apply code of practice procedures to the design of prestressed concrete elements |
| LO4 |
Design vertically and laterally loaded masonry walls |
| Pre-requisite learning |
Module Recommendations
This is prior learning (or a practical skill) that is strongly recommended before enrolment in this module. You may enrol in this module if you have not acquired the recommended learning but you will have considerable difficulty in passing (i.e. achieving the learning outcomes of) the module. While the prior learning is expressed as named MTU module(s) it also allows for learning (in another module or modules) which is equivalent to the learning specified in the named module(s).

Incompatible Modules
These are modules which have learning outcomes that are too similar to the learning outcomes of this module. You may not earn additional credit for the same learning and therefore you may not enrol in this module if you have successfully completed any modules in the incompatible list. |
| No incompatible modules listed |
