This course offers instruction in structural loads and structural analysis, and includes a review of statics and strength of materials, load path, arches and cable structures. Students explore the concept of bending and shear stresses, solve statically indeterminate beams using both the method of consistent displacements and the three-moment equation, and analyze statically indeterminate frames using moment distribution. Students also learn Part 4 of the National Building Code of Canada. This course is available in the Fall semester only. Prerequisite: MATH 1540 (or MATH 1140), MATH 1640 (or MATH 1240), PHYS 1510, PHYS 1610, ARET 2600, or permission from the department chairperson Note: This course is part of a limited enrolment program
