PROGRAM: Design Technology
CREDIT HOURS MIN: 3
LECTURE HOURS MIN: 2
LAB HOURS MIN: 2
DATE OF LAST REVISION: Fall, 2011
Focuses on the design and detailing of commercial structural members, their connections, materials and methods of construction. Concentrates on traditional materials such as reinforced concrete, masonry, steel, and timber. Develops understanding of element behavior, its significance to detailing, and establishes the ability to prepare working drawings for structural projects.
MAJOR COURSE LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Upon successful completion of this course the student will be expected to:
- Identify and detail different types of piers, footings, foundations, and pilings.
- Identify masonry structural systems and their applications.
- Detail sections using brick, block or stone as a primary material, including load bearing and prefabricated wall panels.
- Identify and detail timber structural members, connectors, plywoods, laminated sections, glulam beams, three hinge tudor arches, A-frames and post and beam structures.
- Calculate and draw structural sections from foundation to roof using proper symbols, notes, connections, and sizes.
- Identify types of reinforced, cast-in-place, precast concrete, columns, girders, beams, wall systems and thin shell structures.
- Detail structural concrete sections using proper symbols, notes, connection techniques, and sizes.
- Identify, size and detail structural steel members, steel connections, open-web joists, girders, and beams.
