Case Studies in Structural Engineering

The presentation and discussion of several case studies taken from real life. The course focuses on engineering principles required to assure the proper performance of actual structures in practice. Various case studies involving a spectrum of structural problems are presented and discussed. Emphasis placed on lessons learned from structural failures and what steps should be taken to avoid them. Students are encouraged to participate in the discussion and in the formulating of solutions to the problems. The theoretical principles governing the case studies are discussed.
