CO 250 - Principles of Structural Design

Credit Hours: 3

Consists of stress and deformation, structural joints, shear and moment in beams, stresses in beams, design of beams, deflection of beams and design of columns.

Course Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:

understand basic principles of stress and deformation in simple structural elements;
investigate and determine shear and moments of simply supported beams;
indentify, analyze and solve technical problems;
investigate and determine beam deflection and bending in simple steel members; and
understand basic principles of structural design loads and methods.
