Covers integrated construction systems, the design of structural forms, truss analysis, long span structures, lateral systems, steel and concrete member design, and an ARE refresher. Course Goals and Objectives 1) Understanding of the role that structural considerations play in design decisions. 2) Guide a team through the design process, communicate critical design information to structural consultants and integrate structural drawings and specifications into project documentation. 3) Develop skills to evaluate the pros and cons of structural systems and materials during pre-design. 4) Explores the code-prescribed design methods applied by the professional community. 5) Introduce best practices for structural system layouts for multiple typographies with a focus on performance-based design. 6) Introduces reference materials from organizations responsible for sharing information about the latest structural technologies and tools for their implementation. 7) Refresh the understanding of structural principles required to study for the ARE exam.
