Course Objectives | This course aims to introduce architectural students elementary engineering concepts, design principles, practices and theories providing the background for design courses and it is the continuation of "ARCH 205: Statics and Strength of Materials" course. The related design codes and their important aspects will be introduced, so that a step forward in establishing a common language between architects and engineers will be taken. Difference between static and dynamic loadings and their effects on structures will be introduced with emphasize on earthquake loading. |
