Course contents :
|
| The Structure 3 course is directly oriented towards architectural training in general. It takes place in one term.
It consists of a more detailed look at
- the elementary principles of equilibria of forces and constraints and their evaluation through analytical and graphic resolution
- knowledge of fundamental structural elements and basic structures such as lattices, their names and mechanical, geometric and architectural properties.
- general knowledge of the main phenomena of instability such as buckling, spill over, and warping.
- general knowledge of the main characteristics of reinforced concrete and the conditions under which it is applied.
- intuitive knowledge of the main structural systems and their respective capacity in terms of the construction and expression of an architectural project
The course is split between theory classes and the resolution of exercises.

Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| Students should be capable of understanding and practising the load distribution of a more complex structure (e.g. a dwelling or small building but with more complex load transfers) from the roof down to the foundations, clearly distinguishing load transfers through walls, beams and columns.
In terms of both resistance and deformation, students should also be able to scale isostatic and hyperstatic beams currently used in simple wooden, steel or reinforced concrete buildings using admissible loads and using appropriate formulations (simple and composite bending, plate bending and asymmetrical bending).
They should also be able to scale elements in traction and their elongation. They should be able to do the same for wood, steel and reinforced concrete under compression, and for different thicknesses (from short segments to large thicknesses).
Students should be able to check the supporting conditions for beams and columns depending on the nature of the main materials used in building structures. They should also be able to express the structural properties of simple and slightly more complex frameworks and their contribution to the relationships between materiality, construction and architecture. |
