Design of structural wood member and timber structures according to NSCP provision, details of joints and splices, roof and bridges trusses, building frames, trusses, towered formwork and scaffolding. Course Objectives Upon successful completion of this course students will be able to do the following: 1. Understand the importance of wood timber as primary material in construction of different structures. 2. Analyze the chain behavior of the structure considering the effect of one member to the other member as they transfer loads, shear and moment simultaneously. 3. Learn how to relate theoretical and experimental problems into practical applications taking into consideration the restriction and limitations specified by the governing code. 4. Apply their knowledge in design analysis through basic principles by engaging them in personal designing of timber building. This will give the right perspective on how a certain structure is being considered and constructed.
