Civil 211 Structures and Design

n to the analysis of structures. New concepts
include methods of calculating deflections, buckling of columns, analysis of indeterminate
structures, shear stresses and torsion. Examples will be based on real structures where
possible and links with the design standards demonstrated where possible. For students
majoring in structures, this course lays the foundations for ensuing structural design courses. For students with other majors, this course forms the minimum necessary engineering
knowledge and enhances understanding of the structures that inevitably form part of most
engineering projects, and facilitates interaction with the designers and constructors of those
structures.
