FOR5801	Structural Performance of Engineered Wood Products	3 ch (2C 3L) (EL)
Wood and engineered wood products have been widely used for construction. Understand the principles and codes relating to the structural design in timber, determine the major mechanical properties of full size engineered wood products such as bending and shear capacities, derive the design value of dimension lumber, and design structural elements (such as beams and columns), and lateral load carrying systems (such as shear walls).
