Share Description
In this course, you will learn :
- How and why the world's structures (including natural and biological structures) were designed and built the way they were.
- Structure prototypes must be conceptually designed and built.
- To describe the expected loads on a structure and the resulting force flow through the structure.
- Identifying and contrasting structural elements, forms, and systems
- Discover funicular forms and how ropes and cables withstand tension.
- Discuss the compression resistance of columns, arches, and anti-funicular forms.
- Learn how trusses, beams, and walls withstand loads. • Draw the force flow through structures.
- Compare and contrast various structural forms and systems to answer questions such as: Why would an engineer prefer a beam over a truss? What effect do the dimensions of a structure have on its response? How do engineers select forms and systems to create structures that are both aesthetically pleasing and functional?
