Structural Design I
The courses Structural Design I and II explain the fundamentals of how structures function. These courses put great emphasis on studying the relationship between the form of a structure and the internal forces within it by means of graphic statics.
L5: Arch-Cable Structures
This lecture demonstrates the structural behaviour of arch-cable structures as a combination of funicular arches and cables. To illustrate how arch-cable structures work, the relationship between their load-bearing behaviour and support conditions is investigated in a step-by-step manner. The found principle can be applied to different structural boundary conditions.
