ARCH 464/564--Architectural Structures IV--COURSE OUTLINE
Deflection theory; analysis of
statically-indeterminate architectural structure systems; introduction to computer
analysis; future directions in engineering design.
Objectives
This course will be the final semester in the
four-semester architectural structures sequence. Emphasis will be on the following course
objectives:
 | Review of basic structural analysis concepts.
|
| Understanding classical deflection theory.
|
| Ability to apply deflection theory to the analysis of
statically-indeterminate structure systems.
|
| Introduction to computer analysis of structure systems.
|
| Exposure to aspects of advanced structural analysis
theory and future directions in structural design methodology.
|
| Provide motivation to qualified students for further
coursework or self-directed study in architectural structures.
