Overview
What you will study
Prefab and modular construction enables building design professionals to design cost-effective, energy-efficient, and quick to build structures.
Ideal for structural designers who want practical experience using the latest technologies to design prefabricated and modular buildings. Civil engineers, production managers, construction and engineering students, and field inspectors will also find value in this course.
Delivered online over six weeks, this Structural Design of Prefab and Modular Building Construction course offered by University of Melbourne supports self-learning activities facilitated by lecture videos and interactive webinars.
Upon completion, you will be able to:
- Perform structural analysis and structural design of prefabricated and modular buildings constructed from different materials using cutting-edge software
- Evaluate the loads and support conditions during the transportation, lifting, and construction process to ensure a safe and efficient build
- Confidently apply building facade technologies in structural design and on prefabricated building systems.
Programme Structure
The program focuses on:
- Structural design of prefabricated and modular buildings: Learn key concepts relevant to the modularisation, structural design, and offsite manufacturing of building structures
- Transportation, lifting and handling of modular buildings: Assess best practice techniques and current guidelines to design prefab and modular units for various stages of their construction until final installation
- Building facade technology and structural design consideration: Learn best practice approaches relevant to structural design and the performance requirements of facades, including prefabrication technologies for fully offsite manufactured facades
- Structural design workshop: Use the latest methods and technologies taught during the course to design prefabricated and modular buildings following a practical case study
