Course Objective

The aim of the course is to give students the three dimensional design methods and mathematical models of structural system.
In the course, end displacements and internal forces of members of three dimensional structures will be obtained using matrix-displacement method.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   To design three dimensional structural systems.
2   To define the mathematical models of structures systems.
3   To calculate end forces and displacements of bars of three dimensional structural systems.
4   To compare matrix methods with other solution methods.
5   To compare three dimensional structural systems with two dimensional structural systems.
