This is a design course with major emphasis on the design and behaviour of wood structures. Students completing this course will be able to design timber trusses, purlins, beams, girders, pin-ended columns, beam-columns and bracing using sawn lumber plywood, glulam and manufactured products. The course also includes connection design using nails, bolts, lag screws and glulam rivets. Students will also be introduced to the Canadian Wood Council's wood design software "WOODS".
