Course info
The course aims to provide the concept of structure in architecture. It introduces
the concept of forces on Building and Relationship between structural planning
and theory, ground and foundation. It also exposes methods of structural
analysis for such building structural elements as columns, beams, truss and
special structures. The course analysis methods to the studio design of structural
forms.
Having successfully completed the module, students should be able to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of:
i. Architectural structural forms and their different analysis methods under different types of applied forces.
ii. Relationship between structural planning and theory, ground and foundation.
iii. Different types of deformation of structures
iv. Stress and strain concepts
