Description	The module covers advanced concepts of materials and design used in the Civil Engineering construction industry.The module also considers advanced aluminium and pre-stressed concrete structures. It addresses the structural use of aluminium and pre-stressed concrete according to the Structural Codes, the design principles of the respective structural members and simple structures, as well-as the connections used. The module also covers aspects of bridge maintenance and management including: deterioration mechanisms, testing and investigations of concrete bridges.
Learning Outcomes	By the end of the module students should be able to: Describe structural alumininium and prestressed concrete performance and design principles Design and assess structural aluminium and prestressed concrete members Design connections between aluminium elements Explain the deterioration mechanism of concrete bridges Determine relevant testing techniques and related investigations on concrete bridges
