as a Y4 student from department of civil engineering , i must put some time in the final year individual project which is relate to structure especially construction. actually i have found one , topology optimization, but i am not sure it is involved in the content of construction structure, so , u can talk about your understanding of this topic or introduce some topic u think interested.
thanks a lot
To look for a "Topic related to construction structure" or to "structure especially construction", "involved in the content "Construction structure", I think you might find useful some English dictionaries of Architecture and Building Engineering related to STRUCTURES as sometimes it is not so easy to use Technical terms in another language. I recommend:
“A visual dictionary of architecture” – Francis D.K. Ching . Ed. Van Nostrand Reinhold (International Thomson Publishing Inc.) . Art.: Beam, Cable structure, Force, Frame, Load, Material, Membrane, Metal, Reinforced Concrete, Structure,Truss…
In each article, you have many related terms with its associated drawings such as funicular polygon, catenary, buttresses, suspension bridge, boundary cable, .. ( in art. “Cable structure”). It is related also to civil engineering structures and it is easier to understand than some other dictionaries like: “the New Penguin Dictionary of Civil Engineering” David Blockley. Ed. Penguin Books (paperback); Cheaper, but with very few drawings or related concepts.
Then, check articles like: "Simultaneous topology, shape and size optimization of truss structures by fully stressed design based on evolution strategy" (DOI:
10.1080/0305215X.2014.947972) Ali Ahraria*, Ali A. Ataib & Kalyanmoy Debc
to ckeck if this is what you want to do.
And finally, ask your professor.
Hope it will help you!
