Course Syllabus

Course objective

  • To make student understand the principles and theories related to structural design, including load considerations, structural behavior, material properties, and design codes and standards.
  • To educate the students about selection of appropriate structural systems based on the project requirements, constraints, and considerations such as function, aesthetics, constructability, and sustainability.
  • Students will learn about structural stability and how to ensure that the designed structures are stable and resistant to failure under various loading conditions.
