ARCH 326 - Structural Systems II (3)

This course integrates the structural theories and knowledge from ARCH 316 and ARCH 319 to establish practical structural design solutions and systems. The specific structural properties of steel, wood, concrete, and masonry will be examined in this course, in order to explain and interpret structural needs in the built environment. This course will also refine the use of computerized tools to assist with consideration and selection of structural systems, and to perform necessary calculations to approximate member sizes and connection solutions for gravity and lateral loads. The final project for this course is a structural design of a current studio project. Prereqs: ARCH 316 and ARCH 319. Co-req: ARCH 322. Offered: Spring.
