3602277: Structural Design 1

Description

Principles of structural analysis

• Introduction, forces in a plane, equilibrium conditions
• Impact on load-bearing structures, supporting reactions
• Static forces of statically determinate supports
• Stability of load-bearing structures

Lecture Goals

In line with the objectives of the module Building Technology I the goal of this course is to introduce the principles of structural analysis.

Learning Outcomes

At the end of the course each student should have the ability to demonstrate and/or work with:

• understanding of static systems, the ability to calculate forces graphically and analytically in a simple system and familiarity with various types of impact and static forces in statically determinate supports.
• familiarity with the principles of building reinforcement and the ability to design a building in accordance with its overall stability.
• understanding of the principles of structural analysis and the ability to apply these skills in the context of coherent design projects.
• the ability to adequately manage time and physical resources for projects, both in terms of individual work input and as a member of a team.
• the ability to outline ideas, information and individual projects in a comprehensible manner visually, in oral or written form.
• the ability to communicate complex ideas to fellow students and instructors in a well-structured and coherent manner.
• the ability to present and evaluate arguments, information and ideas relevant to the discipline of architecture.

Lectures Method

• Lecture followed by practical examples
• Construction site visits and building inspections
