Elementary Structural Design

Description

This course is part of the Certificate in Licensing International Engineers into the Profession (LIEP) Civil Engineering program. It prepares the participants for the PEO examination on Elementary Structural Design that confirms their knowledge in the field for P.Eng. License. Learners will be exposed to the theories and concepts of wood, concrete, and steel design and analysis both at the element and system levels. Upon completion of the course, learners will have developed a better understanding of the basic principles of structural design. This course is intended to provide the learners with the skills and knowledge required for the effective design of steel, reinforced concrete, and wood members using the current editions of Canadian design codes. A review of elementary structural analysis, with the emphasis on the calculation of bending moments, will be provided. Limit state design will be introduced and loading due to use and occupancy, snow, wind, and earthquake will be discussed. The course also covers the elementary design concepts and procedures for the design of connections, tension members, beams, and columns and illustrates their application through design examples.

Financial assistance may be available to eligible Ontario residents through the Ontario Bridging Participant Assistance Program (OBPAP) provided by the Ministry of Training, Colleges, and Universities (MTCU).
