CE 6080 - Structural Loads and Systems

Institution:

Clemson University

Subject:

Civil Engineering

Description:

Introduces students to the practice of structural engineering for buildings. Working in teams, students complete projects that mimic real-world structural engineering tasks. The projects require students to calculate loads and analyze loads paths through building structures. Gravity and lateral loads are featured in the projects. Students prepare written and graphical documents to communicate the results of their calculations and analyses. Students are also introduced to structural reliability, structural connections, construction plans, roof framing layout, and building codes. It is expected that students have a background in structural engineering when registering for this course.
