  • Can propose the proper structural system for the geometries encountered in the preliminary design stage.
  • Acquires knowledge about the adaptability, performance and limits of various structural systems.
Course Content Improvement of construction and detail design capabilities through seminars, lectures and analyses; comprehension of appropriate techniques for structural system analysis, different materials and their characteristics.
