CEE 4740
Introduction to the Behavior of Metal Structures

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2017-2018.

Introductory course focused on the use of solid and structural mechanics to quantify elementary behavior of metal structures in order to enable design. The course is project focused; with the students preparing a complete and detailed design deliverable. The course considers applications from civil structures, naval architecture, and aerospace engineering.

When Offered Spring.

Prerequisites/Corequisites Prerequisite: ENGRD 2020 or permission of instructor.

Outcomes
  • Understanding of steel as a material; its limitations, strengths, and applications.
  • Understanding of the variability of environmental loading and uncertainty in strength prediction.
  • Understanding the use and origin of standard building codes and specifications.
  • Understand the notion of instability and recognize its unique importance to metal structures.
  • Execute a "real world" design within the context of a semester long design project.
