Course Objectives The objective of this course is to analyze and model 2D or 3D structure systems for different load combinations using software package to evaluate structural design by static and dynamic analysis.
Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Design the structural members.
  • Model structures under several load types and combinations in 2D and 3D by using commercial software.
  • Explain the interfaces and commands of commercial software.
  • Determine the displacement under the influence of external loads.
  • Analyze the data obtained from analysis and design of a structural system.
Course Description In this course, basic information about the use of commercial software in structural engineering will be given. SAP2000 interface will be introduced and the ability to design the frame-wall systems with respect to the provisions of related code will be gain by making structural design.
