General Information:
ARCH-451 is the first course in structural steel design that is taken by undergraduate students in the
School of Architecture at the University of
Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. It applies principles of engineering mechanics to layout, analysis, design, and
detailing of structural steel elements. The course also covers timber design for several periods at the end of the
semester. For more information on scheduling, meeting room, and other course related information, please visit
university's Course, Schedules & Requirements web page.
