CIVL 206 Strength of Materials

4 credits

This course introduces the concepts of engineering mechanics of materials and the behavior of the materials and structures under applied loads. The course elaborates on the knowledge of engineering mechanics (statics) and teaches students the purpose of studying strength of materials with respect to civil engineering design and analysis. Engineering concepts of stress, strain, material properties, shear and bending moment diagrams, and torsion are explored with practical applications in civil engineering.
