Sophomore.
12-1, M. W. F.
524. Graphical Statics.
Lecture course: Graphic composition and resolution of forces; centers
of gravity and moments of inertia; strain sheets for simple types of roof
and bridge trusses; beams under fixed and rolling loads; reservoir dams
and retaining walls; internal stresses and beam deflections.
Practice course: each student executes a weekly plate 15″ × 20″ of
problems based on the lectures.
525. Structural Drawing.
Lecture course. Graphic analysis of steel and timber trusses for roofs
and bridges; of solid beams and plate girder bridges; and of reinforced concrete
slabs, girders, columns, and retaining walls.
Practice course: Design and detailed drawings of simple examples of
roofs and bridges, with complete computations for each structure.
526. Elementary Mechanics.
Lecture course. Composition and resolution of forces; friction; problems
in equilibrium; rectilinear motion, circular motion, projectile motion.
Practice course: Solution of weekly problems in mechanics by graphical
and analytical methods.
