ARCH 3211: Architecture Structures II: Steel and Wood

3 Credit Hours

Prerequisite: ARCH 2211
This course builds on ARCH 2211 with a focus on design and analyses of statically determinate wood and steel structure systems, mainly frames. Upon completion students would be able to apply design techniques in defining a frame system and selecting or sizing wood or steel members, particularly beams and columns, trusses, diaphragms, and connections. Knowledge and skills are applied in a final team project that highlights a structural form employing wood and steel.
