AE 3251 - Structural Systems Design3 lecture hours 2 lab hours 4 credits
Course Description
This course introduces the student to structural design of buildings for lateral and gravity loads. Topics include determining loads on buildings, design of lateral force resisting systems, design of floor systems, design of columns, and design of foundations. (prereq: AE 3211 , AE 3221 ) (coreq: AE 3231 )
