A lecture-laboratory course on principles and techniques of experimental analysis. Responses of structures to mechanical, thermal and wind loads. Theory of modelling, observation, measurement, transducers; experimental methods: strain gages, photo-elasticity, moiré. Prototype versus model: physical mathematical, mechanical. Experimental optimization.

A lecture-project course requiring the model-aided design of civil engineering structures not amenable to design by analytic techniques. Students will design, construct, test and analyse the response of reduced models of structures required to satisfy specified criteria; evaluation of design will be made with recommendations for modification and optimization of original design. Lectures will include: case studies of model-aided optimization of structures and structural components, introduction to theory, principles and design of experiments, measuring systems and transducers.
