Introduction to the principles of design of steel and reinforced concrete structural building systems, planning of building vertical and horizontal load resisting systems. Several design projects will involve indeterminate analysis and design concepts for both steel and reinforced concrete. Consideration of shearing and axial deformation in addition to the usual fexural deformations. Effects of temperature and prestrain, support displacements, elastic supports and axial-flexural interaction. A continuation of CE 441, but directed toward building systems.
Topics covered include LRFD design of beams, columns, beam-columns, composite beams and connections.
For 446, CE 441. The use of reinforced concrete design principles in special applications including columns and footings, and the study of additional design concepts including deflections, prestressing and torsion. The finite element stiffness method. Applications to structures and soils. Introduction to finite element analysis of fluid flow.
