Analysis and Design of Surface Structures, Certificate

This module is drawn from our suite of Civil Engineering masters programmes. The module engages you with advanced study of the principles, analysis and design aspects of surface structure systems such as roads, airfields, ports, concrete hard standing and industrial ground floors.

By the end of the course you will have the skills to:

• critically appraise the fundamental scientific and engineering principles of surface structure engineering
• appraise and contrast conflicting theories that underpin the application of design techniques
• make judgements based on skills and knowledge to apply various design codes and be able to evaluate them critically
• evaluate alternative design strategies and be able to critically appraise the selection in accordance with design requirements.
