ARCH 2029 - Structures


Credits: 3

This course explores the principles of structural mechanics in the design and function of various statically determined wood, steel, and concrete members and systems. Load behavior is investigated (compression, tension, bending, shear, stress/strain, equilibrium), as applied to the design and analysis of footings, columns, beams, slabs, trusses, and connections. Students will apply formulas in solving designs for bending, shear, deflection, and axial loading, through analytic methods using appropriate design techniques, manuals, and theory, and practice graphical detailing of designs according to current practice.

Prerequisite: ARCH 1008  and MATH 1600  
Corequisite: PHYS 1201
