CMT 210 - Statics & Strength of Materials

3 credits

A conceptual analysis of forces on building structures in a state of equilibrium. Properties of forces, moments, couples, and resultants will be studied. Applications of equilibrium conditions, friction, centroids, and area moments of inertia will be analyzed. Stresses, strains, and deformations associated with torsion, shear, moments, and loading will be considered and demonstrated. This course is conceptual in nature and the mathematical demands will be kept to a minimum. Prerequisite: Prerequisites: A “C” or better in MTH 070, or instructor approval. [As Announced]
