Civil 211 Structures and Design

Civil 211 Structures and Design Introduction to structural design - philosophy, loads, codes; design of simple structural elements in various materials.

This course builds on concepts introduced in CIVIL 210 Introduction to Structures, such as equilibrium, free body diagrams and beam bending theory with the aim of expanding and
improving understanding of structural behaviour and providing analytical techniques to
facilitate quantitative assessment of that behaviour. Principles of mechanics are further
developed with an emphasis on their applicatio

n to the analysis of structures. New concepts
include methods of calculating deflections, buckling of columns, analysis of indeterminate
structures, shear stresses and torsion. Examples will be based on real structures where
possible and links with the design standards demonstrated where possible. For students
majoring in structures, this course lays the foundations for ensuing structural design courses. For students with other majors, this course forms the minimum necessary engineering
knowledge and enhances understanding of the structures that inevitably form part of most
engineering projects, and facilitates interaction with the designers and constructors of those
structures.
