Design of Timber & Masonry Structures CE5251_24th Batch

This course introduces the fundamental principles of designing timber and masonry structural elements using Eurocode standards. It covers material properties, structural behavior, and limit state design concepts for timber members such as beams, columns, and connections, considering factors like moisture and load duration. For masonry structures, the course focuses on wall behavior under vertical and lateral loads, strength, stability, and cracking and buckling effects. The course also briefly addresses durability, fire resistance, and practical design applications.
