Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
This course introduces architecture students to the language (lingua franca), mathematics and engineering behind the field of structural engineering. Using building structures as a foundation, students will engage in fundamental analysis (statics and simple structural analysis), materials selection and performance (mechanics and materials science), and the selection of both gravity and lateral-force resisting systems (engineering design). The course content will focus on 'hand methods' of calculation suitable for preliminary design and so-called 'back of the envelope calculations'.
