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.

This is the second part of the intensive intermediate Catalan sequence. Both courses (CAT 246A and CAT 246B) are part of the Catalan minor and also satisfy the language requirement for HFA and CNS.

This course is conceived to enable students to acquire from basic to intermediate notions of the Catalan language through task-based daily communicative situations. Students must register for both Catalan 246A (3 cr.) and Catalan 246B (2 cr.) in the same semester for a total of 5 credits as they are interrelated regarding the evolution of content.
