CMT 421 - Constr Mat and Methods II

Construction materials and methods is the backbone of a construction management student’s knowledge base. Gaining a useful knowledge of materials and methods is crucial not only for constructability analysis, but is a necessary prerequisite for cost estimating and project scheduling. This course is a continuation of CMT 321 and covers how commercial structures go together, the materials, means, methods, proper nomenclature, and sequence of construction of wood, structural steel, light gauge metal framing, brick and concrete masonry, pour-in-place concrete, foundations, precast concrete, tilt-up concrete, pre-engineered metal building, heavy timber, commercial roofing, curtain walls, glass, fire-protection, and site work. CMT 421 will also cover temporary structures used in construction. The course has a bi-weekly lecture component (two 2-hr lectures) that is paired with a once-weekly commercial construction detailing and analysis course (CMT 422).
