General Structures
A. Principles: Apply general structural principles to
building design and construction.
B. Codes & Regulations: Incorporate building codes,
specialty codes, and other regulatory requirements in the
design of general structure systems.
C. Materials & Technology: Analyze the implications
of design decisions in the selection of systems, materials,
and construction details related to general structural design.
D. Environmental Issues: Consider site and environmental
characteristics in the selection, design, and construction
of building structural systems.
