CE448 ADVANCED DESIGN OF STRUCTURES
SCOPE: This course covers advanced structural design topics that build on the concepts gained in introductory steel building, concrete building, and foundation design. This is a capstone design course, therefore a significant portion of the course is devoted to a project that will draw from other courses in the civil engineering curriculum.
