Outline and Purpose of the Course An elementary outline will be given including the finite element method used for building structural design, as well as various structural analysis methods, dynamic properties of the building frame and its constituent elements, mechanical properties of plates, and the design method.
Course Goals Learning the basics and applications of structural analysis methods, the basic theory of dynamics, and the basic theory of the parallel plate. The educational goal is to acquire expert and basic knowledge. Among the learning and educational goals listed in the department, the goal is to have C. practical ability and C1. the ability to realize buildings.
Schedule and Contents Structural design and structure analysis method (6 times): Lectures will be given on the fundamental and applied structural analysis method utilized in building structure design. First, the characteristics of various structural analysis methods will be introduced, including the finite element method used for building structural design by using actual building design examples. Next, the finite element method will be explained, as well as its basic theory and application, and the analysis accuracy and the application method in actual building structure design will be explained. In addition, the construction and application of a dynamic model necessary for actual structural design will be outlined.
Building vibration analysis (4 times): The fundamentals of vibration theory necessary for the vibration analysis of buildings will be explained. Next, regarding the forced vibration of buildings when external force act upon them, the case of sinusoidal external force will be covered as an example. In addition, the nature of the irregular wave external force as an example of earthquake vibration, wind pressure, and so forth will be explained as external forces that are actually applied to buildings. After that, the handling of forced vibration when an irregular wave external force is applied will be explained. In addition, vibrations of continuous joists will also be explained.
Theory of flat plate structure (4 times): Dynamic theory, analysis method, and the design method of parallel plate structural elements, such as walls and floors, will be explained. The linear governing equation of parallel plates subjected to in-plane deformation under the assumption of plane stress will be introduced, as well as the solution using the Fourier series. Next, the governing equations of parallel plates subjected to the out-of-plane bending deformation based on the assumption of normal line preservation will be derived, and several examples of solution methods will be outlined. In addition, the basic idea of parallel plate element design and usage in actual buildings will be explained.
Final Exam. (1 time):A feedback class, including posting example model answers on KULASIS, will be conducted.
Evaluation Methods and Policy The evaluation will be done by the final exams, and the achievement level of the course will be confirmed.
