Structures 2

ARCH-5150

This course builds on the material presented in ARCH 5140, with the analysis and design of structures comprising steel, concrete, timber, and masonry. The theoretical concepts covered in the introductory course form the conceptual basis for work in Structures 2, with relevant new concepts/techniques covered. Students will explore load transfer in different structural assemblies and consider how seismic and other complex loading can impact architectural considerations. Innovative, non-normative structural systems are investigated and discussed. Design optimization approaches are introduced and explored as avenues to accomplish more optimum design conditions under increasingly strict design constraints.
