COLLEGE OF ARCHITECTURE UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO DENVER ARCH 3340. 002 THEORY OF STRUCTURES I Fall 2017 5:00-6:15 PM T, TH North 3207 Instructor: Annicia Streete Office: Room 502, CU Denver Building Email: Annicia.Streete@ucdenver.edu Cell: 605.431.2029 Office Hours: T 1:00-2:30 pm 1. INTRODUCTION This course introduces the analysis and design of structural elements and focuses on fundamental principles of statics as well as the beginning concepts of strength of materials, cross-sectional properties, flexural theory, and column analysis. 2. COURSE OBJECTIVE The objectives of this course are to: to consider the proportional effects of forces on structures, the static interaction between external forces, internal forces, geometry and material type, to develop an understanding of the relationship between construction materials and structural systems at the theoretical design level, to resolve force systems in a plane, and to calculate the stress in an ideal structural member under a given type of force system. 3. COURSE REQUIREMENTS The class will meet twice a week. Homework will be assigned each weak, due at the beginning of class on Thursdays. Only hardcopies of homework will be accepted, no electronic submissions. Weekly reading from the text will be assigned to supplement the lectures. Quizzes will be given online each week. A final exam will be given during finals week as the time assigned by the catalogue.

4. EVALUATION Homework (14 given, 13 best used) 40% Quizzes (14 given, 13 best used) 40%

Final Exam 20% Late homework will lose 10% per day. Homework more than 7 days late will not be graded. The lowest homework score will be dropped from the total and the remainder averaged to calculate final homework grade. Quizzes are accessed through Canvas, and will be available on the due date and 3 days prior. The quizzes will remain available two days following the due date, but will lose 10% per day. After the quiz is closed, it is no longer available for graded credit. The lowest quiz score will be dropped from the total and the remaining will be averaged to calculate the final quiz grade. Attendance is required and will be recorded at the start of class. Tardy’s will be recorded, and three occurrences of tardiness will be equivalent to one unexcused absence. Please note: 3 unexcused absences will result in a course grade reduction of one full letter grade (i.e. A- becomes B-, or B becomes C, etc.). Please discuss with the instructor if you have documentation for an excused absence. 5. TEXT REQUIRMENTS Required Text: Statics and Strength of Materials for Architects and Building
