Course Objective

In the course content, engineering structures will be evaluated in detail. First, special and signature buildings are investigated through different structural analysis methods. In the course content, hall structures will be evaluated. Beams, columns and foundations will be investigated. Composite structural members will be investigated. Lateral buckling and support conditions will be investigated. In the course content, architectural concepts are also explained. Structural analyses, and analyses methods are considered in detail.
