CAE 5591 - Design of Structural Systems3 lecture hours 0 lab hours 3 credits
Course Description
This course presents the behavior and design of wood structures. Topics include sawn beam and column design; engineered wood beam and column design; design of plywood floors, diaphragms, and shear walls; and connection design. (prereq: CAE 3511, CAE 3521, CAE 3561) (quarter system prereq: AE 3211, AE 3221, AE 3231)
Course Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- Determine gravity and lateral loadings on building frames
- Analyze and design steel frames and/or systems subjected to gravity and lateral loads
- Analyze and design concrete frames and/or systems subjected to gravity and lateral loads
- Develop efficient building geometries for concrete and steel framed systems
- Design efficient lateral force resisting systems
- Design multi-story columns
- Design foundations for building systems
Prerequisites by Topic
Course Topics
