Topics: 1. Masonry design: introduction, material properties, unreinforced load-bearing walls, reinforced
masonry 2. Design of steel floor and roof decks and steel joists 3. Timber design: introduction, material properties, beams, columns, trusses Course Objectives: • To develop knowledge of the engineering properties of materials for masonry construction. • To develop a technical understanding of the structural behavior of load-bearing unreinforced masonry
walls subjected to gravity and wind, and reinforced masonry beams and columns under gravity loads. • To develop a technical competence in design procedures for load-bearing unreinforced masonry walls
subjected to gravity and wind, and reinforced masonry beams and columns under gravity loads. • To develop technical competence in steel roof and floor deck system design procedures. • To develop technical competence in steel joist design procedures. • To develop an understanding of the unique material aspects of wood and wood-based materials. • To develop a technical understanding of the structural behavior of wood components and structures
subjected to loads. • To develop technical competence in single-member wood design procedures.
