Laboratory experiments to demonstrate behavior in tension and bending for simple metal and concrete structures.

Analysis and design of structural members subjected to axial loads, torsion and bending deflection of beams, behavior of columns and transformation of stress and strain.

To give students a fundamental understanding of basic principles in engineering mechanics. Topics include force systems, the principle equilibrium of forces in two and three dimensional space, free-body diagram, centroid and moment of inertia of a solid body, etc. The fundamental principles are applied to solve problems of civil engineering systems, such as beam, truss and frame. Prerequisite: MATH 132. Corequisites: Physics 151 & 153.
