Structure I
The aim of this course is to approach the basic structural types along history analyzing the relation between its mechanical behavior and the space generation.
The course also covers basic structural concepts as: resistance, deformation, stress-strain curve, stress types. The student will get to know which the forces acting over the building-loads and tributary areas- and how its transmission through the structure to the ground is produced. Structural types: isostatic and hyper static and its understanding using diagrams.
