Do you know how to find the reactions of a beam? Do you know how to draw a shear diagram? Do you know how to size a steel beam? Do you know how much load reinforced concrete is capable of?
DPS is hosting another series of structural seminars to answer these questions and many more. Our first of this series will take place on Thursday, March 12, 2009 and will be presented by Francis and Eileen from our very own structural group, will attempt to demystify the magic that they do in making the buildings we design do what they need to do to stand and protect the occupants. They are gearing their seminars on the ARE 4.0 study material and have met with several interns and newly licensed architects about what is useful and what is fluff, so they have some idea of what may appear on the exam. For this session they will be covering Statics, Beams and Columns, Wood Construction, Steel Construction and Reinforced Concrete Construction.
If you have any questions or comments please respond to this post with them and we will see that they get the info. Also we can discuss how we are all working to prepare for this exam and for others, lets discuss and comment, and we will see you on the 12th for some very interesting structural stuff.
