This course provides students with a comprehensive understanding of structural behavior, laying a strong foundation for the effective analysis and design of various building structures. It emphasizes the principles of load distribution, material behavior, and structural integrity. Students will also be encouraged to integrate modern Information Technology tools, such as structural analysis software, into the design process to enhance accuracy, efficiency, and innovation. By the end of the course, learners will be equipped with both theoretical knowledge and practical skills essential for real-world structural engineering challenges.
