Course Description: This course provides an overview of structural design for reinforced concrete, steel, and wood structures. Allowable and ultimate strength design methodologies are covered including load factor design and load and resistance factor design. Structural design codes and design – construction interdependence in professional practice is emphasized.
Textbooks:
Determinate Structures
Samuel E. French, Delmar Publishers, 1996.
Applied Statics and Strength of Materials,
L. Spiegel and G.F. Limbrunner, Merrill Publishing, 3rd edition.
Course Objectives:
The chief objective of this course is to understand the general principles of behavior of structures under the influence of externally applied loads. This course builds upon the concepts of Statistics and Strength of Materials. The course will concentrate on the analysis and design on statically determinate systems, that is, systems in which the internal forces can be determined from the application of the laws of statistical equilibrium. Typically such structures include diaphragms, shear walls, braced post and beams, and most common types of truss systems. Statically determinate systems constitute roughly 85% of all structures be it reinforced concrete, steel or wood. The reason for this dominance is ease of fabrication, ease of construction, resulting in reduced costs. The statically determinate systems are however limited in height. Students who wish to extend their training into more complex structural systems such as plates, shells, continuous high-rise frames will need to undergo considerably more rigorous training in calculus, matrix methods and numerical methods. The application of structural design will cover concrete, steel and timber.
Specific Objectives:
Upon completion of the course students will be able to:
