CE 449Advanced Structural Design
Special systems, frames and bracing in steel, wood and reinforced or precast concrete. Introduction to composite construction. C E 449 C E 449 Advanced Structural Design (3) This course provides students with an understanding of advanced structural design processes, the mechanics of special systems (such as prestressed concrete) as well as the ability to design and proportion structural connections and bracing members including reinforced concrete and steel. The course will also introduce the LRDF approach and composite construction in which the design of specific components is integrated into the design of the structure as a whole.
