CONE 440 - Construction Methods and Temporary Structural Design

Credit Hours: 3

Prerequisites: CONE 340
Common construction methods are introduced and building details are explored considering material applications and detailing in structural and non-structural building components and physical processes lying behind the design of a building’s envelope and interior. A set of prints and specifications will structure our discussion of the building process. Study of the materials, methods and techniques associated with temporary structures utilized in various construction operations, such as concrete formwork, scaffolding, falsework/shoring, cofferdams, underpinning, diaphragm/slurry walls, earth-retaining structures and construction dewatering systems.
