ARCH 2029 - Structures


Credits: 3

Structures 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, theory, and practice graphical detailing of designs according to current practice.
