AF1735 Structural mechanics 2 with load analysis 7.5 credits

• Shear stresses in beams
• Torsion of circular bars
• Statically determinate frames and sloping beams
• Statically indeterminate beams - flexibility method
• Buckling of columns
• Qualitative analysis of beams and frames
• Loading conditions
• Characteristic values for selfweight, imposed load, snow load and wind load
• Calculation of the design load in the ultimate limit state
• Optimization of structures in order to achieve increased sustainability

After completing the course students shall be able to calculate the shear stresses in beams, draw NVM diagram for statically determinate frames and sloping beams, analyse simple statically undeterminate beams and calculate the critical load for columns with different boundary conditions. Students shall also be able to calculate characteristic loads and design loads in ultimate state for simple constructions.

If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.

• INL2 - Thesis proposals, 0.5 credits, grading scale: P, F
• TEN2 - Written exam, 2.0 credits, grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F
• TENA - Written exam, 5.0 credits, grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F

Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.

The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.

• All members of a group are responsible for the group's work.
• In any assessment, every student shall honestly disclose any help received and sources used.
• In an oral assessment, every student shall be able to present and answer questions about the entire assignment and solution.

Students that have completed TEN1 or INL1 according to earlier exam modules can until spring 2025 be examined in the remaining exam module and are recommended to get in contact with the study counselor.
