This document outlines a course on fundamentals of building technology from the German University in Cairo's Architecture and Urban Design Program. The course covers topics like loads, foundations, masonry work, insulation, and structural units. It discusses dead loads and live loads, load distribution, tension and compression, bearing wall and skeleton structural types, and basic roof, floor, and ground floor sections. Diagrams and examples are provided to illustrate key concepts.
