A Global History of Architecture Writing Seminar

Compare

Overview This course will study the question of Global Architecture from the point of view of producing a set of lectures on that subject.

Architectural Structures II

Compare

Architecture is the designing and building of structures. A structure should be an expression of beauty and function. In order to achieve both beauty and structure in a design architects must have some artistic skills and must also have a good understanding of mathematical principals.

Advanced Structural Analysis

Compare

Overview Review of basic concepts in structural analysis:structure (structural elements, joints and supports, stability, rigidity and static indeterminacy, kinematic indeterminacy);loads (direct actions, indirect loading);response (equilibrium, compatibility, force-displacement relations);levels of analysis; analysis of statically determinate structures (trusses, beams, frames);applications of principle of virtual work and displacement-based and force-based energy principles; deriving stiffness and flexibility coefficients

Stochastic Hydrology

Compare

Overview The objective of this course is to introduce the concepts of probability theory and stochastic processes with applications in hydrologic analysis and design. Modeling of hydrologic time series with specific techniques for data generation and hydrologic forecasting will be dealt with.

Urban transportation planning

Compare

Overview Introduction:Transport and Socioeconomic Activities, Historical Development of Transport, Transportation in the Cities, Freight Transportation, Future Developments - Urban Transportation System Planning - Conceptual Aspects:Transport Planning Process, Problem Definition, Solution Generation, Solution Analysis, Evaluation and Choice, Implementation, Sequence of Activities Involved in Transport analysis

Stochastic Structural Dynamics

Compare

Overview The objective of this course is to develop methods for analysis of structures subjected to dynamic loads which are random in nature. Structures under the action of wind or earthquake loads are typical of such problems. The course introduces the application of probability, random variables and random processes to model uncertainties in dynamic loads.
