Course Objectives It is aimed to provide for students knowledge related to structural analysis of buildings. It is expected to have students: 1. Understand the structural behavior of different structural systems 2. Understand the design concept in building of different structural systems 3. Analyze the structural set-up of a given building according to its correct design concept.
Course Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • The student who accomplishes this course: - Understands structural systems regarding design, material, manufacturing and implementation; - Gains skill of analyzing, interpreting, and presentation of contemporary structures; - Understands structures in terms of economy, cultural context, and sustainability; - Gains skill of interpreting and explaining concept of structure in technical terms.
Course Content Strain types and structural behaviors of building components and elements; structural system diversity: form active systems, vector active systems, surface active systems, hybrid systems, inflated systems, tall building systems.

6 Mid-Term I.
7 Industrialized Building Design / Concrete Prefabrication Utilization of industrialized construction technologies in the process of architectural design / realization, and knowledge regarding the subjects of quality concept and its relation with the relevant standards. Explanation of prefabricated construction systems based on concrete. Discussion on the application principles of reinforced concrete prefabricated building elements and systems with regard to projects.
8 Steel Construction Systems Introduction to steel construction systems and steel construction material. To understand the elements used in steel buildings that proliferated after the August 1999 earthquake, the phases of the architectural design process, and to bring alternative solutions to these processes, to make selections among systems. To produce solutions in projects for multi-story, wide span steel buildings.
9 Light Steel Buildings Discussion on the production and implementation principles of light steel construction systems which have been developed to benefit from the standardization in manufacturing and conveniences that it provides in housing constructions, due to the superiority of steel with its mechanical properties over other construction materials.
