Description

Structural Design is an introductory engineering design course that focuses on structural building systems. Dimension lumber, engineered lumber, timber, steel bar joists and structural steel are the materials that are covered to select appropriate beams, columns, joints, rafters and purlins. Reinforced concrete will be reviewed to design footings and shallow building foundations. There will be a final design project that requires a thorough evaluation of a building's structural systems including design alternatives. This is a comprehensive basic engineering design course that focuses on visualization of loads on a structure and selecting the proper structural materials to resist those loads. Prerequisite: MAT119
