COURSE		The development and application of pre-engineered building systems.
DESCRIPTION		in architectural design. Evaluation of long-span, high-rise and free form 				pre-engineered structural and none structural building systems.
					
LEARNING 		You will become familiar with the various pre-engineered building systems, 
OBJECTIVE	 	their history, applications, advantages and disadvantages.
			You will become familiar with the systems' architectural design guidelines. 
			You will be able to apply these systems in your designs and practice.
			You will be able to develop building systems.

ACTIVITIES		Lectures, discussions, drawing, reading, writing, calculations, photography
			hands-on construction experience, and secondary research. 

TEXT			Lecture Notes - by Prof. Hermann Gruenwald

REFERENCES		Industrialized Builders Handbook, Lythe
			Metal Building Systems, Building Systems Institute
			Pneumatic Structures, Herzog 
			Systems Building an International Survey of Methods, Schmid

LECTURE NOTES	Copies of  the overheads used in class will be made available to the 					students the following day (after 1 PM) at 
			KING KOPY 108 East Lindsey, Norman 321-0202. 
  		
ASSIGNMENTS		All assignments are due at the beginning of class.
			No late assignments will be accepted and will not qualify for resubmittal.
			Details can be resubmitted once to achieve a higher grade.
			
HOMEWORK		Homework will be assigned in class. It will be collected and graded.

DETAILS		Detail 1	Wood	 			due 	08.07.1997
			Detail 2	Steel 				due	08.08.1997
			Detail 3	Concrete 			due	08.12.1997
			Details are to be drawn in 1 1/2" = 1'-0"  on 8 1/2" x 11" paper.
			Details may be drawn freehand, on the board or on CAD.
			Please submit original drawings only, no photocopies, sepias or bluelines.
			If the drawings were generated on CAD please submit a hard copy and 
			the .DWG or .DXF or .IGES file on a 3 1/2" floppy diskette with your name.
			This is an individual assignment not a group project. 

PHOTO JOURNAL	Submit a minimum of 30 slides (in 8 1/2" x 11" transparent slide pockets 
			20 per sheet)  which summarize pre-engineered building systems. 
			The slides may include: raw materials, formulas, terms, details, various 				finishes and treatments, completed projects, historical events/structures, 				structural components and systems, failure of structures, aging of structures, 				environmental impact, proper/improper, title slides, summary	slides, group 				project, self portray of author, etc.
			Number the slides and place them in sequence to best tell your story.					A picture is worth a thousand words, and the slides should be self 					explanatory, however you are allowed to submit the slides in a binder
			with an contents sheet, which identifies the slide and gives a one
			sentence to one paragraph explanation:
			1.	Kips Bay Plaza Apartments
				Kips Bay Plaza, New York, 1962
				Architects: I. M. Pei and Partners
				An early example of high-quality pre-cast concrete surfaces

			You have the option to submit the photo-journal in a variety of formats
			of your choice including:
				powerpoint presentation
				video
				web page
				authorware module
  			This is an individual assignment not a group project. 
			Due Date	August 21, 1997

Graduate Project		Those students taking the course for graduate credit are required to
			submit a literature review of a building system of their choice.
			Minimum 5 pages double spaced, typewritten. 
			Due Date	August 21, 1997

GROUP PROJECT	Design a new load bearing wall system, for residential or commercial 					application. Detail all connections and possible applications. Document
			the system in form of drawings, scaled model or full-size wall section.
			
			You also have the option to design and build a modular bridge structure
			for a local client. The client will pay for the material. 
			However your creativity may be limited by this "client" relationship.

			You will be asked to form groups of 4 (four) by August 8, 1997.
			By this time I should have received in writing the names of the group 					members. Students who have not selected a group by this time will be 					assigned to groups. 

			Preliminary Design due August 8, 1997	
			Submit a preliminary design, showing front, side, top view on 8 1/2" x 11" 				paper, in appropriate scale (perspective optional).

			Completed Project due August 21, 1997.
			Drawings and scaled model, full-size preferred 

REVIEW		August 20		Wednesday
			Is blocked out as review day, the instructor will be available during class 				time to review the material of the entire course.  

EXAMINATION	Examination will occur as scheduled (occasional rescheduling possible)
			All work has to be shown on the exam paper (formulas, steps, units, etc.)
			You will have the entire class period for the exam.
			Exam 1		August 07, 1997 	(Friday)
			Exam 2		August 14, 1997 	(Thursday)
			Exam 3		August 21, 1997 	(Thursday)
			Students are allowed to bring to the exams an 8 1/2" x 11" sheet of paper 				with formulas and notes, on front and back of the paper. This sheet has to 				be turned in with the exam (include name), however the sheet will not be 				graded. Students are also allowed to bring calculators of their choice 					(including programmable calculators), and a back-up calculator - No sharing.
