Introduces the structural design project, outlining objectives and methodologies for students to engage in practical applications of engineering principles.
Covers the sizing procedure for structural elements and the relationship between moment and curvature in deformed structures, using examples of three-hinged gantry cranes.
Introduces precast concrete structures and advanced design techniques, covering topics like prefabrication, building connections, and construction projects.
Discusses the principles of stability and ruin in structural engineering, focusing on equilibrium, load transfer, and design strategies to prevent structural failure.
