ARH 250 Principles of Structures

Credits: (3)


Structure as it affects design. A study of the loading of structures and the resistance to those loads as they apply to wood frame and steel frame structures.

Learning Outcomes
  1. Recognize and determine the loads on structures.
  2. Apply loads to the members of a structure.
  3. Calculate stresses in structural members.
  4. Identify properties of members and what they mean.
  5. Design wood members.
  6. Design steel members.
  7. Describe how a structure supports lateral (wind & seismic) loads.
  8. Demonstrate competent use of structural computer software.
