You learn the basics of how to image structural condition and to calculate by using the balance of force, when external force
acted on static structure.
At first you treat the simple models such as structures (single beam) supported with two points of both sides like a bridge and structures (cantilever beam) supported with one point like a telephone pole.
You understand it as a sense, what kind of stress acts in each part of structure, and what kind of reaction force produces, when external force acted on the structure.
And you explain it based on one piece of document to distribute by a lecture or reference book to confirm the sense by a simple calculation.
You confirm your level of understanding by the practice test at the end of a class every time.
This class corresponds with authorized architect examination designation subject ⑤, that is, structural mechanics.

The building must be designed to contribute safety and comfortable space, for self-weight, movable load and external force
such as an earthquake or the wind load.
To that end, it is necessary to grasp what kind of behavior a building shows when load and external force acted.
Structure analysis becomes the important means for the behavior grasp.
A computer is used for structure analysis, but it becomes important to acquire by experience a principle of the dynamics and a flow of the power, for the modeling of the building and the evaluation of analysis result.
You learn basic knowledge of the dynamics by imaging a real building in this class.
A purpose of this class is to be able to understand how the difference in member sections and frame shape influences behavior qualitatively.

- To be able to understand balance (external force and reaction force) of the force
- To be able to understand a concept of the stress of the members
- To be able to understand the level of influence to a reaction force, stress and deflection by the differences of the external force, span length and the cross-section
