Design of structural members for bending moment, shear force, axial force, and combined axial force and bending.

Reinforced concrete, structural steel, and composite beam construction are considered.

Buckling effects in columns, beams and local plate segments are treated. Serviceability limits such as deflection and cracking are addressed.

Design projects include the determination of loads and the selection of system geometry.
