Engineering of Structures: Response of Structures

This course explores the impact of different forces on the construction of bug buildings. It provides an overall understanding of how buildings respond to different forces that impact their designs. The first module introduces you to the concept of the overall response of structures. The second module explores different types of loads and their impact on the design of large structures. It also gives a detailed explanation of how buildings fall due to earthquakes. In addition, the module offers a

• Identify the definitions of the key glossary terms related to overall response of structures
• Identify types of loads on structures
• Recognize how do we model larger structures
• Recognize the role of Single Degree of Freedom (SDOF) systems
