No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1986–87 to 1994–95 (before that, 1971–72 to 1985–86 used the number for Theory of Structures 2 and Structural Synthesis 2: Concrete and Timber Designs); the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.
Architectural case studies are used to examine conceptual development, structural design, building process and the selection of structural concrete systems. Topics such as flexural (rectangular, T-Beams, and one-way slabs) and compression members; footing and retaining walls; non-reinforced and reinforced masonry walls are studied using calculations, design aids, rules of thumb and the latest CSA design standards.
As printed in the 1986–87 to 1994–95 calendars, read by OCR; the scanned page is the original. Later calendars (1995–96 on) aren’t on uwloo.

Another title: Theory of Structures 2, probably a different course under the same number (or a misread scan).
Purpose: To analyze the behaviour of statically indeterminate structural building systems and to calculate reactions, shears, moments of their components subjected to live and dead loads. Content: Advantages, limitations and principles of indeterminate structures; analysis of compound and continuous beams and rigid frames by consistent deformations, moment distribution, slope deflection; analysis of continuous beams having differential support settlement, of frames subjected to side-sway; analysis of pin-connected frameworks by virtual work; joint loading, thermal stresses; application of loading criteria, arches. Prerequisite: Arch 263* 4 hours per week including laboratory session (Fall term) Instructor: Dutt, Schuster
