CIVIL ENGINEERING 183
Methods used in the calculation of stresses in and proportioning of
beams, girders, and columns of timber, steel and concrete; study of
the effects of moving load systems; graphic statics applied to roofs and
bridges.
Text: Theory of Structures, Spofford.
Instructors: Thomas, Martel.
CEo 10 b, C. THEORY OF STRUCTURES. 12 units (3-3-6), second and
third terms.
Prerequisite: CEo 10 a.
A continuation of CEo 10 a, covering the computation of stresses
in truss members, the design of structural parts, connections, portals,
and bracing; a study of arch, cantilever, and continuous bridges; and
deflection of trusses.
Text: Theory of Structures, Spofford.
Instructors: Thomas, Martel.
CEo 11 a, b. STRUCTURES. 9 units (:2-3-4), second and third terms.
Prerequisite: AM. 1 C.
A brief course adapted for aeronautical engineering students in the
analysis of forces by analytical and graphical methods and the calculation
of stresses in beams, girders, columns and simple trusses of
timber, steel, and light alloys. The third term is devoted to a study of
continuous beams and trusses, trusses with redundant members, effect of
flexure and direct stress, deflections in beams and trusses.
Text: Airplane Structures, Niles and Newell.
Instructors: Thomas, Martel.
CEo H? REINFORCED CONCRETE. 6 units (:2-0-4); third term.
Prerequisites: AM. 1 c; CEo 10 a.
The theory of reinforced concrete design, with a study of the applications
of this type of construction to various engineering structures.
Text: Reinforced Concrete Construction, Vol. I, Hool.
Instructor: Martel.
CEo 14 a, b, c. ENGINEERING CONFEnENCEs. :2 units (1-0-1); first,
second and third terms.
Conferences participated in by faculty and seniors of the Civil Engineering
department. The discussions cO\'er current developments and
advancements within the field of civil engineering and related sciences.
