CEE 5770
Intermediate Behavior of Concrete and Metal Structures
Building off the introductory courses in these topics which focused on the fundamental behavior of structural members, this class will explore the behavior, interaction, and limit states of more complex metal and concrete structures. The behavior of concrete and steel structures as systems will be the focus, covering frame behavior, composite floor systems, trusses, stability, vibration, and other advanced topics. The course will conclude with analyzing, designing, and detailing the transfer of load through the structures and its components.
Topics
- Understand principles of structural system behavior in concrete & metal structures and apply them in analysis & design.
- Analyze how loads are transferred through the structural system and identify the most critical components.
- Identify key considerations of constructible, resilient and serviceable structures, and formulate appropriate solutions to address these considerations.
