Course Description
Within the context of the course; concept of structural determinacy and indeterminacy, internal force distribution in determinate systems (continuous beams with hinges, three hinged frames and arches), truss configurations for large spans, deflection problems of beams and frames under gravity and/or lateral forces, internal force distribution in indeterminate systems and important rules to configure a regular structural system are given with examples of various real buildings. At the end of the course, students are expected to be capable of configuring proper structural systems with their approximate cross-sectional dimensions.
