CIAC-1005Structural Fundamentals
In this introductory course, students will study how forces and loads act on a structure and the effects these have on structural elements such as beams and columns. They will be introduced to the properties and behaviour of building materials such as timber, concrete, steel, and masonry through classroom exploration of theory and lab demonstrations. The principles covered in this course will enable students to have meaningful communication with structural designers and other industry professionals. This course is a prerequisite for Building Structural Systems.
