Architecture Engineering

ARCHE 4: Steel and Timber Design

NSCP-based structural design of timber and steel members, systems, connections, and architectural applications.

Module 1: Introduction to Timber Engineering

NSCP-based timber material behavior, grading, design values, adjustment factors, durability, and engineered wood for architectural structures.

Module 2: Timber Tension and Compression Members

NSCP-based design of timber tension members, columns, bearing, net sections, and column stability.

Module 3: Timber Beams

NSCP-based timber beam design for flexure, stability, shear, bearing, deflection, notches, and architectural serviceability.

Module 4: Combined Stresses in Timber and Connections

NSCP-based timber combined loading, fasteners, bearing at angle to grain, connection failure modes, diaphragms, and shear-wall load paths.

Module 5: Introduction to Structural Steel

NSCP-based introduction to steel behavior, structural shapes, design philosophy, section classification, stability, and architectural selection.

Module 6: Steel Tension Members

NSCP-based design of steel tension members for gross yielding, net-section rupture, shear lag, block shear, and connection-sensitive behavior.

Module 7: Steel Compression Members

NSCP-based steel column design for local slenderness, flexural and torsional buckling, effective length, and architectural stability.

Module 8: Steel Beams and Flexural Members

NSCP-based steel beam design for flexure, local buckling, lateral-torsional buckling, shear, serviceability, and beam-column interaction.

Module 9: Steel Connections and Base Plates

NSCP-based bolted and welded connections, slip resistance, eccentric groups, base plates, anchors, HSS connection awareness, and constructible detailing.
