Course Objectives It is aimed to prepare students who have no prior knowledge of engineering for design and detailing of buildings. It is intended to introduce to students terminologies which are specific to this specialized area of knowledge by defining basic concepts and units of calculation.
Course Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • The student who accomplishes this course: - Learns to apply statics, basic principles of strength to simple buildings by analyzing the behavior of materials under stress and calculating these stresses (This learning includes at the same time the sources of rules and standards used in building industry.). - Understands the applications to materials in practice by drawing on the universal principles of static forces and strength. - Represents forces that act on a solid in diagrammatic form for analysis. - Recognizes the characteristics and properties of materials. - Applies knowledge of physics to solve real scientific problems. - Developes interest and critical judgement
Course Content Vectors; the concept of force; equilibrium of rigid objects; bearings; space frame; shear force and bending moment; internal forces in beams; center of gravity; moment of inertia; states of stress and strain; simple and unified strength conditions of stick-form elements; effects of bending and torsion.
