Structural Design of Frame (5cr)

Objective

Students will understand the structural designing process and be competent in defining and performing related tasks for load-bearing frames.

Content

Students will choose construction material and design a load-bearing frame system based on the construction drawings of an architect. They will consider actions on the frame and the frame's static model as well as the bracing of the frame. They will do structural design calculations for the frame's parts and learn about the different types of structures and their structural physics (dampness, heat, sound). Students will also make structural designs.

Qualifications

All structural design courses are required.
