CIVL-3002Structural Design 2
This course deals with basic principles of steel, reinforced concrete, and foundation design. The principles covered in the course will enable students to have meaningful communication with structural designers and other construction professionals. The course has three major parts. In Part I, students will review the limit state design philosophy and learn how to design open web steel joists, steel flexural members, steel compression members, steel tension members and connections. In Part II, students will learn how to design simple and continuous reinforced concrete members for flexure, shear and deflection and simple reinforced columns for axial load. In Part III, students will learn how to define and describe basic soil structure, soil types and soil sampling and the design of shallow foundations (footings) and deep foundations (friction and end bearing piles).
