COURSE OBJECTIVE

Architects are expected to have knowledge of structural design - which is possible with the understanding of the structural concepts, behavior and analysis - since the architectural design and the set-up of the suitable structural system must be taken into account together. This course presents the analysis and design concepts of basic structural systems. Fundamental principles of trusses, beams, frames, arches and cables are investigated. Approximate analysis methods of indeterminate beams are introduced. Loads on structures and structural response to various loading effects are presented. Design of basic structural elements and corresponding building code requirements are studied. Principles to structural safety via architectural design are introduced.
