ARCH 4330 - Structures 2 This course builds on the material presented in ARCH 2330 , with the analysis and design of structures comprising steel, concrete, timber, and masonry. The theoretical concepts covered in the introductory course form the conceptual basis for work in Structures 2, with relevant new concepts/techniques covered. Students will explore load transfer in different structural assemblies and consider how seismic and other complex loading can impact architectural considerations. Innovative, non-normative structural systems are investigated and discussed. Design optimization approaches are introduced and explored as avenues to accomplish more optimum design conditions under increasingly strict design constraints. The course approach will involve in class presentations, homework, exams, worked problems, and case studies.
This course is required of all third-year architecture undergraduates in the B.Arch. program.
Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisites: ARCH 2510 except M.Arch. students, ARCH 2350 , ARCH 2330
