Course Content
Dönemin ilk haftasında, bina performansına ilişkin genel bilgiler, bina arazisinin coğrafi ve fiziksel özellikleri ve yönlenmesi, güneş ve rüzgar gibi doğal faktörlerin bina biçimlenmesine yansımaları konuları üzerinde durulacaktır. Yapım sistemleri ile ilgili olarak öncelikle, strüktürel kararlılık ve mukavemet kavramları tanımlanacaktır. Bu temel kavramlar doğrultusunda betonarme, çelik ve ahşap yapım sistemleri ile bunların temeller, iç ve dış duvarlar, döşemeler, tavanlar ve çatılardaki kullanımları incelenecektir.
Objectives of the Course
The main objective of this course is to introduce the students with the fundamental concepts and the general terminology of building construction. Due to the ongoing developments in the construction sector, this information has to be updated continuously. Consequently, another objective of the course is to introduce the students with the means of following the most recent developments and help them gain this habit.
