ICM 212 - Taşıyıcı Sistem Tasarımı

Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences · Interior Architecture and Environmental Design · Undergraduate

ECTS: 3 T+P+L: 3+0+0 Compulsory
Coordinator: Dr. Öğr. Üyesi Muhammed Emin AKYÜREK

Course Objective

Düzlemsel (iki boyutlu) taşıyıcı sistemlerin zemin, malzeme, biçim ve yük koşullarına göre davranışının sezilmesi; TBDY'ye (2018) göre düzenli ve mimari projeye uygun bir şekilde tasarlama becerisinin kazanılması amaçlanmaktadır. Dersin bir başka amacı, geleneksel Türk yapı sistemlerinin rasyonel düzeyde çağa uyarlanması ve geliştirilmesi imkânlarını değerlendirmektir.

Course Content

This course focuses on examining the principles of two-dimensional structural systems in architecture through examples and on developing structural system designs that are compatible with architectural projects.

Explanations

1. Practices are specified in the syllabus. The relevant information and documents will be provided by the instructor and these activities will be carried out during the course hours.

2. Midterm exam covers all previous subjects. The exam is on the 8th week; the day, place, and time is going to be announced by the dean's office.

3. The final exam covers the topics studied during the whole semester. The date, time, and place of the final exam is goingt to be announced by the Dean's Office.

4. Make-up exams will be given for exams not taken within the framework of excuses accepted according to IZU regulations. Quizzes, assignments, and practices that are not taken will be held in the next class hour of the week following the missed one, again with the document submitted within the framework of these regulations.

Rules

1. Attendance: According to the regulation, if a student does not attend 70% of the total course hours, dersten absenteeism (DZ) fails.
2. Late arrivals: The class is expected not only to arrive but to attend classes on time. Remember that 3 lessons will be counted as 1 full absence. Late arrivals are defined as follows: The lecturer will take class polling and attend class after the first 10 minutes of class
3. Getting help: It is important for your education to ask questions about the class during the class or during the class hours and to find out what time it is. We advise our students to get help if necessary.
4. Academic honesty: It is expected that you will have your own endeavors and your work in studies that will be subject to note of the course. In non-moral situations such as plagiarism, copying, you will be subject to disciplinary action and necessary criminal sanctions as required by the relevant regulation of the IZU.
5. The assessments set forth in this footnote are fixed and no extra compensation measurements for grading will be made.

Course Learning Outcomes

  1. To have information about the historical development and design principles of structural systems.
  2. To learn the types of loads acting on the building and the structural behavior of the components.
  3. To design a regular structural system within the framework of earthquake regulations (TBDY).
  4. To make preliminary dimensioning of various structural systems according to design criteria and to solve joint detailing.
  5. The possibilities of rational adaptation and development of traditional Turkish structural systems are explored.
