Objective

Purpose of the course:
In this course, you will learn to use the basic laws of statics and equations of equilibrium to solve the forces of structures in plane cases. The model structures used are statically determined points, beams, columns, perimeters and trusses from the construction field. You will need the information for dimensioning structures.

Course competences:
Knowledge and understanding of basic mathematics and science at the level necessary to achieve other learning objectives.

Course objective:
In this course, you will learn to use the basic laws of statics and equations of equilibrium to solve the forces of structures in plane cases. You will learn to perform overturning analysis, to estimate the forces acting on a point. You will also learn how to solve support reactions of structures and lattice rod forces. These are also the basic tasks of the course.
