Introduction to Compression
This module introduces you to the topic compression.
Columns, Anti-funicular Forms, and ArchesThis module explores compression in details. It deals with topics such as columns, arches, and other anti-funicular forms. It explores their roles in resisting compression.
Building Anti-funicular FormsThis module explores how to build anti-funicular forms.
This course deals with compression. When we push an object, it compresses. Compression is what's going to hold up our building. Arches, vaults, domes, and anti-funicular forms help resist compression. In this course, you will learn about different columns and arches and their role in resisting compression. You'll also build anti-funicular forms. The first module introduces you to the topic compression and familiarizes you with the key terms related to compression. The second module deals with to
The course was really helpful. The numericals involve practical examples, while the explanations and demonstration of key concepts are amazing.
Professor Vicki was great at explaining all the concepts
