A Master of Civil Engineering degree program is offered
by distance education in which students select from over 40 courses in
the various specialty areas of civil engineering. Individuals can also
take courses as non-degree students for professional development. Courses
related to wood design include the following:
CE 528 Structural
Design in Wood (3 cr. hrs.)
Behavior, strength and design of wood structural members subjected to
moment, shear and axial forces. Design of connections and introduction
to design of wood structural systems. Topics include: History of wood
structures, mechanical properties of wood, snow and floor loads, moisture
and grading, wood composites, axial load, solid beams, laminated beams,
bi-axial bending, torsion, solid sawn columns, laminated columns, connection
tests, connection design, shear walls, diaphragms, and systems design.
CE 761 Design
of Temporary Structures for Construction (3 cr. hrs.)
Design of formwork, falsework, shoring, underpinning and earth support
systems for use during construction. Topics include: construction loads
and standards, basics of SAP 2000, wood design fundamentals for beams
and columns, plywood design, wood connections, shoring of concrete
buildings, formwork loads and design, formwork and falsework systems,
underpinning of foundations, earth retaining systems, and bracing of
masonry walls during construction.
