Current Undergraduate Courses:
CE 1023
Statics for Engineers
(Winter) |
Forces and moments are introduced with vector algebra,
followed by the application of equilibrium conditions
for particles and rigid bodies.
Emphasis is placed on the use of free body
diagrams (FBD’s) to analyze trusses, frames and
machines, as well as internal member forces (bending
moment and shear force diagrams). Additional topics
include friction, centroids, and moments of inertia.
Analysis of problems is largely scalar based with some
exposure to vector based solutions. |
CE 3063
Structural Steel Design I
(Fall) |
Introduction to the National Building Code of Canada,
loads on structures, limit states design concepts, and
the use of the CSA S16 steel handbook. Properties of
structural steel materials and shapes. Design of steel
structure components for ultimate and serviceability
limit states. Design topics include tension members,
compression members, flexure members, and connections.

CE 5003
Structural Dynamics
(Winter) |
Dynamic
equilibrium of structural engineering problems with
topics including linear dynamics, discrete and
continuous systems, free and forced vibration, transient
response using numerical integration and Duhamel’s
integral, and modal analysis of multi-degree-of-freedom
systems. Practical problems exploring structures under
dynamic loads such as earthquake, wind, and blast are
covered. |

Dynamics of Structures
(Winter) |
Dynamic
equilibrium of structural engineering problems with topics
including linear dynamics, discrete and continuous systems,
free and forced vibration, transient response using
numerical integration and Duhamel’s integral, and modal
analysis of multi-degree-of-freedom systems. Practical
problems exploring structures under dynamic loads such as
earthquake, wind, and blast are covered.
This course is offered concurrent with CE 5003 with
additonal self directed study for graduate students. |
