Teaching Method

Outline:

Following the second year of structural mechanics I, the students will continue the study of stress calculation of static structure (especially truss, synthetic rigid frame, arch structure) and the relationship between stress and strain in the cross-section of a structural element, and the property of the cross-section of a structural element.
This course instructor has work experience as an architectural structure design engineer. The lessons are in a lecture format and the students will acquire basic knowledge of architectural structural mechanics.

Style:

The course proceeds with lectures and exercises. Since Akashi college is a global technical college, structural mechanics technical vocabulary in English will be explained as appropriate. Exams and practices are all in English. The students are required to review after class the content learned.

Notice:

Structural analysis is the base to study of reinforced concrete structures and steel structures in the fourth year. The students should show concern with buildings, especially building structures, and listen carefully and take notes during lectures. It is important for the students to solve and understand the exercises at the end of the book by themselves. It is desirable that the students that do not understand the lecture content make questions and deepen their understanding after the class. Since the students are not familiar with the technical terms related to architectural structure mechanics, they will learn through lectures and exercises little by little. Students attendance is required, and only a maximum of 5 absences is excused.
