Stability and Design of Structural Members

CE 59700

Credit Hours:

1

Instructor:

Amit Varma

Learning Objectives:

• Theoretical behavior of beam and column elements
• Origin of code equations for beam and column design
• Application of theory and code equations for beam and column design

Description:

This course will cover the intersection of buckling and member design – specifically the behavior of columns and beam elements.

Topics Covered:

Students will leave this course with an in-depth knowledge of governing differential equations for stability analysis of column and beam elements. This course is best suited for students with an undergraduate civil engineering background including a structural analysis course and will build on these concepts.

Prerequisites:

Recommend completing an undergraduate structural analysis course
