Course Objective

The course aim to investigate the structural behaviour of reinforced concrete and steel structures according to the horizontal forces and provide the models of three dimensional structural systems.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   To give information about structural system.
2   To apply the dynamic solution metho to the structural system.
3   To rebuilt and analyze the models of the recent studies in the literature.
4   To explain the behaviour of the structural systems by using examples.
5   To compare the behaviour of the shear -wall systems with behaviour of the frame system.
