Job description

ARET 1612 Structural Technology 2 (0,3,0)

Credits : 3 credits

Delivery : Campus

This course explores the concepts of statical equilibrium, strength of materials and related building code requirements as applied to basic structural and mechanical design problems. The course introduces force analysis of trusses and frames, centroids, moments of inertia, and shear force and bending moment diagrams. Students examine the stress and strain effects of axial, torsional, bending, and shear forces and calculate the deflections of beams and the effect of slenderness on columns. Students also learn fundamental concepts in Part 4 and Part 9 of the British Columbia Building Code.

The sessional instructor will be responsible for only one section of the seminar for this class. Class time is three hours per week. The instructor must also be available at predetermined times during the week to answer student questions outside of the scheduled class times. Marking of all seminar assignments and quizzes for the course, as well as periodic meetings with other ARET faculty is also required.
