Teaching Method

Outline:
Students will develop their ability to design various concrete structures in the future, by learning the principles of concrete structures and the basics of design methods that construct structures that students are familiar with. Gain an understanding of ethics as a technician, by learning how to design various workpiece by using verification methods for safety, usability, and durability with the limit state design method.
Style:
Classes will be held in a lecture style.
Notice:
This course's content will amount to 90 hours of study in total. These hours include the learning time guaranteed in classes and the standard self-study time required for pre-study / review, and completing assignment reports. Students should bring a calculator with them, as they will be solving exercise problems in class. Prepare a notebook for his course. Be interested in familiar concrete structures.
