Structural Engineering for Non-Structural Engineers
After participating in this course you will be able to:
• Apply structural analysis methods
• Assess the design of reinforced concrete and structural steel members
• Solve common structural engineering problems
• Employ wood and masonry design procedures
Non-structural engineers and architects need a basic understanding of structural engineering. This course provides the fundamentals without delving into complicated mathematical formulas and covers the design and construction of concrete, steel, wood, and masonry building structures. Lectures will be followed by simple hands-on exercises and problem-solving sessions.
Required Resources:
Course participants are expected to have some elementary knowledge about structural design and the analysis of simple structures.
In order to gain the maximum benefit from this seminar, participants are encouraged to read the following texts in advance:
• Part 4 of the National Building Code of Canada
• Structural Commentaries (Part 4) of the National Building Code of Canada
• Participants should bring a hand-held calculator
