11226 Architectural Structure and Construction

6cp

Requisite(s): 11217 Introduction to Construction and Structural Synthesis
Undergraduate

This subject considers the logical response to a range of foundation conditions, the global response of irregular buildings to vertical, lateral and torsional actions, consequences of adopting isostatic or hyperstatic systems, bending and shear stress distribution over element cross-sections, and composite materials and systems. This is supported by the use of computer modelling techniques as an interactive design tool. The subject also encompasses the study of low-rise domestic style multi-cell buildings, and analyses the design relationship that exists between various structural configurations, and the buildings fabric and materiality. Environmental constraints, site access and other technical issues that may impact on the performance of the built object are also illustrated in a series of case studies and related to the design process.
