ARCH465

Prerequisite: ARCH464 and PHYS121; and MATH120 or MATH140, or equivalent; or permission of the ARCH-Architecture Program. Restriction: Must be in either BS in Architecture or M. Architecture Program. Credit only granted for: ARCH412 or ARCH465. The basic principles of elastic behavior for different materials such as wood, steel, concrete, and composite materials and compares the properties and applications of materials generally will be covered. It investigates cross sectional stress and strain behavior in flexure and in shear, and torsion as well as the stability of beams and columns. The qualitative behavior of combined stresses and fracture in materials is also covered.
