Specific Objectives
To develop an understanding of the unique
material aspects of wood and wood-based
components.
To develop a technical understanding of the
structural behavior of wood components and
wood structures subjected to loads.
To develop technical competence in singlemember wood design procedures.

properties of materials for masonry construction.
To develop a technical understanding of the
structural behavior of load-bearing unreinforced
and reinforced masonry walls subjected to
gravity and wind, and reinforced masonry beams
and columns under gravity loads.
Have guest lecturers present information on
wood behavior, curtain wall design, masonry
behavior, slabs-on-ground, roofing and
waterproofing, fire life safety

Homework
Homework will be assigned regularly
Assignments should be done neatly and
submitted on engineering paper, with final
solutions clearly summarized and marked
Assignments are to be turned in at the beginning
of the lecture on the date due.
Late assignments will not be accepted, unless a
specific arrangement has been made with the
instructor at least 24 hours prior to the due date.
The lowest homework grade will be dropped.

Grading
There will be one mid-term exam and a
non-comprehensive final.
There will be no make-up exams unless
arrangements have been made at least one
week in advance.
Your final course grade will be determined as
follows:
midterm exam 30%,
final exam 30%,
homework, participation, other 40%.
The plus/minus grading system (A+, A, A-, B+, B,
B-, C+, C, C-, etc.) will be used.

Ethics
Academic dishonesty will not be tolerated. Please
refer to "Academic Integrity: A Guide for Students,"
on the following web page:
