About this course:

In this course, students gain an understanding of the fundamental structural concepts that individuals working in construction management need to have. This course provides an introduction to structural analysis and focuses on the classification of structural elements; analysis of statically determinate trusses, beams and frames; deflections in elementary structures and load calculations.

Prerequisites

Basic understanding of trigonometry.
