Course Objective

The aim of this course is to provide the student with fundamental concepts such as external and internal loads acting on structures, force, moment, determinate-indeterminate structures, equilibrium, centroids, moment of inertia of sections; and to calculate internal forces of some simple structures (truss, beam etc.) and also to demonstrate the importance of these concepts in formation of the architecture of the structure.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   Learning the fundamental principles and concepts of statics
2   Evaluating under which conditions that the structures stay in equilibrium
3   Determining the centroid and moment of inertia of planar sections
4   Calculating the internal actions in simple structures such as trusses and beams
5   Applying appropriate analyses with regarding to architectural design and properties of structural systems
