Assigned Department Objectives

Teaching Method

Outline:

This course will follow on from Structural Mechanics, Steel Structures, and Structural Concrete Design, taught in Kosen Regular Course. Classes will lecture on the plastic design method for structures, the use of wood in civil engineering and building structures, and structure design technology by numerical analysis and their basic theories in an omnibus format.
1. Lectures related to the plastic design method and use of wood (Taught by Shojo: Weeks 1 to 8)
2. Lectures related to building technology related to construction 3D printers (Taught by Takeda: Weeks 9 to 15)

Style:

Classes will be conducted mainly using handouts (materials and literature) or by taking notes. The lectures will be organized in an omnibus format and divided into two halves. Shojo and Ishimaru will teach the first and second halves, respectively.

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. Before taking the course, students should carefully read the materials distributed in advance to fully understand the content. In addition, students must have fully learned subjects such as Structural Mechanics, Structural Design, and Applied Mathematics.
Students who miss 1/3 or more of classes will not be eligible for a passing grade.
The minimum score for a pass will be 60%.
The achievement targets are:
1. For Shojo's lessons, the evaluation will be based on exams (20%) and reports (30%) (50% in total). The report assignments are as follows:
・ Calculations based on plastic design for various structures, and investigations and proposals related to the use of wood.
2. For Takeda's lessons, the evaluation will be based on exams (30%) and reports (20%) (50% in total). The report assignments are as follows:
・ Investigation and proposals on modeling technology using construction 3D printers.
