CMGT 322 - Structural Analysis

Institution:

Northern Kentucky University

Subject:

Construction Management

Description:

Introduction to concepts used in statics, strength of materials and structural analysis as they relate to providing stability for structural components used for determinate temporary load support systems, bracing, shoring/reshoring, and other determinate construction load circumstances. Topics include equilibrium, stability/instability, free body diagrams, the calculation of loads resulting in compressive and tensile forces on elements used to support temporary load conditions; assessment of the strength of components to resist such loads; analysis of components' behavior under varying load conditions, basic design considerations of common temporary construction structures such as formwork, bracing of vertical elements, and retaining walls. Treatment of load path for statically determinate structures will also be introduced in this course.
