Computer Applications in Structural Engineering
This course aims at providing students in-depth knowledge of computer aided analysis (CAA) and design (CAD) of reinforced concrete and structural steel structures. The course reviews theoretical background of the analysis and design systems available in CAA and CAD., CAA and CAD include analysis and design of concrete beams, columns, and slabs, and steel beams, columns, and frames. The course requires a design project of simple structural system using CAA and CAD. The design specifications are based on LRFD method of AISC for steel structures, and ACI for reinforced concrete structures.
