ARC 2501 - Architectural Structures I

3 Credit Hours
(Offered as needed)

The emphasis of the course is on the development of the principles of statics and the application of these principles to the analysis and design of structural systems, primarily column, beam, slab systems, and the truss systems. The course builds on the basic ideas of structural form and material properties developed in Introduction to the Technology of Architecture.

Prerequisite(s): any college level physics or calculus course, and concurrent enrollment in ARC 2472. This course is designed as part of an articulation agreement with Florida A&M University; students interested in transferring to another upper division school should consult with an advisor.
