Course Overview
This second structural engineering course builds on the material presented in CIVL 3074. Topics include: structural indeterminacy, qualitative and approximate analysis of beams and frames; design of structural steel tension members, columns, beams and beam-columns in accordance with CSA Standard S16 (Design of Steel Structures); and the design of reinforced concrete beams, one-way slabs, columns, footings and retaining walls in accordance CSA Standard A23.3 (Design of Concrete Structures). The course is delivered through lectures, problem-solving sessions, laboratory work and project work.

Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this courese, the student will be able to:
- Explain how the various structural elements of a building work together to support the design loads. [2]
- Establish the determinacy of a structure. [2]
- Qualitatively evaluate the structural response of beams and frames. [2]
- Perform approximate structural analysis of statically indeterminate trusses and frames. [2]
- Classify various structural steel shapes, grades of steel and their mechanical properties and identify common bolted and welded connections. [1]
- Design structural steel tension members, columns, laterally supported and unsupported beams and beam-columns. [4]
- Design the primary structural elements in low-rise steel buildings subjected to gravity and wind loading. [4]
- Design reinforced concrete beams for flexural and shear. [4]
- Design reinforced concrete beams and one-way slabs. [4]
- Determine the development lengths and design lap splices for reinforcing bars. [4]
