| Course Objectives: |
The student who takes this course recognizes the performance and composition of various structural systems and materials such as steel, reinforced concrete, masonry and wooden structures, and classifies structural design principles and systems with basic information. Besides, by defining the sub-systems that make up the building (bearing structure, walls, floors, roof, stairs), they can express the basic knowledge that will help in interior design studies. |
| Course Content: |
The content of this course, structure and components; structure and its purpose, loads; dead loads, live loads, static, dynamic and different temperature and settlements, properties of structural systems and materials; from the behavior of materials under loads; pressure, tensile, shear, torsion, bending, stress and strain relations, elasticity, plasticity, safety factors, wood; structure of wood, wooden frame systems, finishing elements in wooden systems, laminated wood, cross laminated wood, wood composites, masonry structures; brick masonry structures, stone and concrete masonry structures, masonry load-bearing walls, steel structures; steel columns, steel beams, reinforced concrete structures; reinforced concrete columns, reinforced concrete beams, windows and doors, stairs, endings; ceiling, floor systems, wall systems, carpentry works, sustainable architecture issues. |
