Institution:

Illinois Institute of Technology

Subject:

Description:

The theory and concepts of structures are presented with a visual format and models to emphasize an intuitive comprehension of the fundamental principles of structural behavior including loading, shear and bending moments. Architectural examples of integrated structures then become format to introduce an understanding of materials and the design process to quantify the engineering. Masonry load-bearing walls and the arch are used as the initial examples to correlate intuition and engineering calculations. 3. 000 Credit Hours 3. 000 Lecture hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture College of Architecture College Architecture Department Course Attributes: Natural Science or Engr Req.
