Course Objective

The aim of this course is to provide the student with fundamental concepts and principles of strength of materials, factor of safety and allowable stress, stress-strain relations, state of simple and combined stresses, different types of stresses and their distributions, elastic curve, buckling and also to emphasize the importance of these structural concepts in formation of the architectural phases of the structure.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
