Assigned Department Objectives
Teaching Method
Outline:
Structural engineering is a discipline necessary for designing structures such as bridges and buildings using theories based on structural mechanics, and is an important concept in both civil engineering and architecture. In this lecture, we will explain the basic knowledge of bridges, which are familiar among structures, such as types of structures, design methods, and related technologies. Rather than making detailed calculations of bridge design all of a sudden, we hope that students will be interested in the structure of bridges, so the first half will mainly provide an overview of the various bridge structures with photographs, and the second half will explain the method of bridge design and the related technologies.
Style:
This lecture will be based on textbooks using slides, but some contents that are not covered in textbooks will be explained. In that case, additional materials will be distributed. If necessary, special lectures and tours may be included by companies that are actually designing bridges. Since this course is a credit course, you will be given a self-study assignment each time that serves as a review of the class. [30 hours of class time + 60 hours of self-study time]
Notice:
In this lecture, we will focus on basic knowledge about the structure of bridges. Self-study assignments must be submitted by the deadline using the prescribed form. As a general rule, assignments are given every time, so if you miss a class, please come to pick up the assignment form as soon as possible. In the case of special absences, the submission deadline will be extended, but if the submission is submitted late for no special reason, it will not be subject to evaluation. I hope that students will have a good understanding of the basics of structure and design methods of bridges and related technologies that they have learned in this course, and that they will further develop their application skills in the next year's lecture on Structural Engineering 2.
