3602333: Structural Design 3

Description

Structural analysis

• Principles of statically indeterminate systems
• Introduction to structural design
• Introduction to pre-design of typical high-rising structures by integrating knowledge about primary building materials (Structural Design 2)

Lecture Goals

Based on the skills acquired in the modules Building Technology I and II and in line with the objectives of the module Building Technology III the goal of this course is to expand further on 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:

• familiarity with statically indeterminate systems.
• knowledge about properties of primary building materials.
• ability to design simple load-bearing structures by employing these building materials.
• well-founded and integrated knowledge about structural analysis and structural design and the ability to skillfully integrate both into a coherent design project that reflects the architectural intent.
• the ability to work independently and demonstrate initiative and objectivity when carrying out projects.
• the ability to outline ideas, information and individual projects in a clear and precise manner visually, verbally or in a written form.
• the ability to communicate complex information with varying objectives to various target groups.
• the skills to critically evaluate statements regarding subject specific problems.

Lectures Method

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

Admission Requirements

The modules of the Bachelor's program in architecture are structured consecutively (they build on each other).

• It is recommended to take the modules Building Technology I and II prior to enrolling this course.
