Course Discription |
:
This course is concentrated on architectural structural systems, construction drawing details and methods of erecting buildings and putting the elements of a building together in the most proper constructional way. Therefore, this course divided into two parts: theoretical and practical. The intention is that learning by doing, rather than just by looking or listening. The theoretical part contains the basic information and major components of Skeleton structural systems from foundation to roof, wood construction systems, steel construction systems, shell construction systems,...., their materials, and load transfer mechanisms. The practical part aims to train students to draw constructional details and architectural symbols. The students in practical part will produce detailed drawings and cast models for the major components of structural systems. The practical part includes field trips to real construction projects to bridge the gap between the theoretical and practical parts. |
