Structural Design III
Awards:
- CW Carry Steel Structures Design Award
- H S Ragan Prize in Structural Engineering
- J (Jack) Longworth Scholarship
- Masonry Contractors Association of Alberta (Edmonton Chapter) Prize
Description
Detailed design of a structure which requires students, working in teams, to exercise creativity, to make design assumptions and to complete the structural design based on a synthesis of technical knowledge acquired in this and other structural engineering courses. Course lectures focus on seismic load calculation; design of concrete, reinforced masonry and timber elements; bridge design; and advanced structural steel design. Prerequisite: CIV E 474. Note: Restricted to fourth-year traditional and fifth-year co-op engineering students.Learning Outcomes
