Structural Design is introduced as a complex problem-solving process
by which resources are to be converted into Structural Systems. The
Structural Systems are discussed and explained from point of view of
their stress structural behaviour.
The applications of the above principles are illustrated by
assignments leading to the design of large halls, high-rise
structures, hanging roofs, shells, domes, etc. Group discussions are
held in order to compare the proposed design solutions based on
criteria such as structural performance, construction, economy,
erection, form, etc.
