A learning tool that uses three-dimensional computer generated models, animations, audio narration, and interactive quizzes to communicate the fundaments of structural behavior and analysis. Users draw a direct relationship between structural analysis theory and its practical application within existing buildings. Twenty-four building structures designed by renowned architets are modeled to show the variety of structural types and behavior
