  • Course description


    Structure 2 course provides an introduction to the different types of structures and an approach to complex structures (particular and spatial) by allowing the student to think about design through the structure.

    It contains Two (2) chapters with a series of tutorials:

    • Chapter I: Long-Span Structures
    • Chapter II: Mechanical behavior of bracing

  • Concept map


  • Evaluation mode


  • General Objectives


    The aim of this module should be to define the different structures that can be integrated into the design activity of the project. It is important to :

    Identify the different types of structures
    Define the different areas of use and application of the different structures studied
    ✔Analysis & Design of the different types of structures

  • Prerequisites

    nn

    To ensure that the tutorials (TD) run smoothly, you need to know:

    • Notions of SOM (Strength of Materials)
    • Some mathematical concepts
    • Simple notions of physics
