Building (3): Advanced Construction and Working Drawing Standards

What Will Learn?

  • Course Aims
    The aim of this course is to provide students with the needed knowledge and skills which enable them to define and illustrate the most common advanced construction systems, such as; Deep Foundations, Section-active, Vector-active, Surface-active, Form-active structure systems, precast, post-tension, and structural glazing systems. It is also of interest to define and illustrate the most common advanced finishing and cladding materials, such as; raised floors, curtain walls, stretched ceilings, GRC, and GRP.
  • Course Goals
  • Sustainable Cities and Communities
  • Climate Action

Requirements

ARC251s AND ARC252s
