Course Objectives This course aims to increase architectural students’ knowledge and understanding of structural systems and components while decreasing the time spent in architectural design in future projects.
Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • will be able to analyze structural design problems related to statics, dynamics and strength of materials by utilizing graphical and visual methods.
  • will be able to relate form and structural forces.
  • will be able to classify structural systems used in architectural design.
  • will be able to identify internal and external loads effecting building components.
  • will be able to compare the determinacy and stabity of structural components.
Course Description This course aims to introduce architectural students elementary engineering concepts, design principles, analysis methods, accompanied by practices and theories providing the background for architectural design courses and it is the follow-up of "ARCH 205: Statics and Strength of Materials" course
