OSAKA UNIVERSITY SHORT-TERM STUDENT EXCHANGE PROGRAM _

Introduction to Global Architecture -First Steps for Building Something Great-

Associate Prof. Naoya UMEDA, et al. (Graduate School of Engineering)

Objective
  Large human-built structures, e.g. buildings, bridges, ships and so on, support our daily lives. Recently design, construction and inspection for these structures are executed with science-based direct safety assessment. In Japan, however, sometimes problems happen due to the lack of scientific ability of some stake holders. Therefore, it is important for all of you to learn fundamental knowledge of the technologies for building such large structures. In this lecture, first steps of these engineering and their prospects toward real applications are explained only with plain words and simple formulae. This enables you to reconsider the technical aspects of these structures in your daily lives. In addition, this lecture is highly recommended for students starting to learn either naval architecture, civil engineering or architectural engineering with the different technical background.
