Decision to discontinue this course:
No information insertedContent and learning outcomes
Course contents
- 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 and snow load
- Calculation of the design load in the ultimate limit state
Intended learning outcomes
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.
