1. INTRODUCTION TO FORM DESIGN (CHAPTER ONE) WHAT KNOWLEDGE BASE SHOULD UNDERSTAND TO HANDLE FORM AND BRACING DESIGNS? STRENGTH OF MATERIALS STEEL DESIGN TIMBER DESIGN SOIL MECHANICS WHAT PARAMETERS AND PROPERTIES IN STRENGTH OF MATERIALS IS USEFUL FOR THIS COURSE? PARAMETERS (INCLUDE) AREA AND CENTER OF GRAVITY MOMENT OF INERTIA RECALL THE PARALLEL AXIS THEOREM Itot xx = Ixx + Ay 2 RADIUS OF GYRATION - SECTION MODULUS -

2. WHAT MECHANICS AND MATERIAL BEHAVIOR ARE IMPORTANT?? STATICS - I.E. THE EFFECT OF VARIOUS GRAVITY CONCENTRATED VARYING LOADS BEAMS CALCULATIONS OF REACTIONS SHEAR AND MOMENT DIAGRAMS DEFLECTION COMPUTATIONS

3. STATIC MECHANICS FOR TRUSSES GRAVITY LOADS COMPUTATION OF REACTIONS TRUSS MEMBER LOAD COMPUTATION USING METHOD OF JOINTS AND SECTIONS WHAT ARE OTHER BEHAVIORS OF INTEREST ?? DEFORMATION DUE TO THERMAL EXPANSION SAMPLE DEFLECTION PROBLEM A steel wire 1/4 inch. in dia. is used for hoisting purposes in building construction. If 500 ft. of the wire is hanging vertically, and a load of 300 lb is being lifted at the lower end of the wire, determine the total elongation of the wire. The specific weight of the steel is 0.283 #/in 3 and E=30x10 6 lb/in 2.

4. HOW IS THE USE OF THIS MATERIAL GOVERNED?? ASTM & ACI (STANDARDS FOUND IN THE TEXT BOOK) AISC & ASSHTO (OTHER STANDARDS) MODEL CODES - BOCA, UBC, SBC.......... IBC 2000 IS ON THE WAY!!! STRENGTH OF MATERIAL REVIEW COMPRESSIONTENSION TORSION THIRD POINT LOADING SPLIT TENSILE

5. STRAIN - STRAIN CURVES
