Description
Students study the fundamentals of both structural steel design and reinforced concrete design. Behavior under shear, moment, and axial load is analyzed and the proper design considerations for each material is explained. This course is an extension of the study of the concepts learned in Strength of Materials. The theoretical and allowable stresses are evaluated and compared for compliance with AISC LRFD Code and the American Concrete Institute Code.(prereq: AE-201 or AE-2012)
