This course deals with tension. Tension is one of the easiest forces to understand. It is a pulling force. When we tend to pull an object, it is in tension. Different elements that resist tension in buildings are ropes, cables, and funicular forms. You will study different structures and identify what role tension plays in their designs. The first module explores tension and its importance in building structures.
The second module explores funicular forms, angles, and bridges. You will understand the role of funicular forms in sustaining tension, how to best design elements and systems that resist tensile forces. You will also recognize the similarities and differences between suspension bridges and cable-stayed bridges. The third module explores how to build a cable-stayed bridge. You'll also study the structures of different bridges and share a report on them.

Pretty excellent,helps to understand basic concepts of tension. And the example for the application on the bridge with its different type makes the lesson rich in knowledge.

Thank you once again for your commitment to education and for providing such a positive and impactful learning experience. I look forward to applying what I've learned and continuing to expand my knowledge in the future
This course has already met my expectation and much more! Now I have a very deep understanding of tension forces' behavior with respect to all the factors were mentioned in the course! Also, the section of the course that is related to bridges is awesome, it gave me the chance to apply all the principles I've learned on real world examples, this course is totally amazing. Special Thanks to Prof. Vicki May for such a clear, detailed and precise explanation.
The Experience of learning through this course was very excellent as its describe the about tensile forces and daily example related to it plus hands on practice and numerical calculation able me to solve such type of structures.
Great course. I'm still in high school so I was afraid if the quizzes will be too difficult or very time-consuming, but the whole course was not demanding and I highly recommend this to anyone interested in these topics.
