CMGT 3400 - Structural Analysis

3 Formerly CMGT 3660.

P: Minimum grade of C (2.0) in CMGT 2600; minimum overall GPA of 2.0; MATH 1074 or 1075 or equivalent; PHYS 1250, PHYS 1251. Introduces statics, strength of materials, and structural analysis as related to stability of building’s structural components. Topics include building loads resulting in compressive and tensile forces in columns, beams, and trusses; strength of components to resist such loads; analysis of components under varying load conditions; and basic design considerations of common temporary construction structures such as formwork, bracing of vertical elements, rigging for lifts, and retaining walls.
