Course description and aims
First, the instructor will explain general structures of buildings, namely, subjects such as structural principles, various construction methods, and how the details fit together. Then, the instructor will explain the load and disturbance acting on building structures, various design methods, as well as types of building structures and their characteristics.
Students will learn about buildings—structural principles, various construction methods, and how the details fit together.
Student learning outcomes
By the end of this course, students will be able to explain the outline of the flow of external forces and external causes acting on a building as well as explain the structure and fit of buildings overall and in detail, having the ability to see the entirety of a building as an architectural structure.
