Intermediate Behavior of Concrete and Metal Structures

Catalog description

Building off the introductory courses in these topics which focused on the fundamental behavior of structural members, this class will explore the behavior, interaction, and limit states of more complex metal and concrete structures. The behavior of concrete and steel structures as systems will be the focus, covering frame behavior, composite floor systems, trusses, stability, vibration, and other advanced topics. The course will conclude with analyzing, designing, and detailing the transfer of load through the structures and its components.
