Description
This course is designed to introduce theatrical
designers and technicians to the fundamentals of
statical engineering. The course includes loading
analysis, geometric properties, wood beam and
column design, steel beam and column design, and
an introduction to truss design. Unlike
traditional structural design courses offered by
architectural or engineering departments, this
course concentrates on the smaller wood and steel
members which are used in theater. In addition,
conservative simplifications are used when they
are feasible.
