Structural Analysis-Architecture ARCH 2302

Course description:

This course covers the basic principles of power, resistant materials, the foundations of the specific installations static analysis of trusses and frames.Deflection of statically determinate structures, momentarea methods, conjugate beam, virtual and real work.Search facilities behavior under loads located them and the extent of affected loads and posed underneath (Deformations).To study the relationship between the structural and architectural design principles to facilitate the work of the engineer / architect of his / her.

Course Aims:

This course aims to: 
  • To give the students knowledge skill about constructional systems and the main structures under construction, and analyzed in terms of the structural stability, how to address them, and determine the expected external loads.
  • Classification of these loads in terms of beinglive or dead loads, horizontal or vertical, or additional key, then calculate the internal cutting forces and bending moments and axial forces.

Course outcomes:

The student upon completion of his study to this course is able to:
  • Knowledge of various construction systems, such as brackets, cables, frames, trusses and belts.
  • Specific installations static analysis.
  • First: the calculation of internal stresses, such moments, tensile or shear, the various structural elements. Secondly marbling account of the specific facilities static.
  • Know the importance of identifying and selecting appropriate structural system of architectural design, with an understanding of the obstacles and mechanisms of its implementation, and therefore work on the integration of design.
