Objective

Purpose of the course:
The knowledge and skills in this course will enable you to determine the internal forces acting on structures. In addition, you will learn about statically indeterminate structures. This knowledge and skills are needed to design structures.

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

Course objective:
After completing this course, you will be able to determine the stresses in statically determinate structures and illustrate this with stress surface diagrams and determine the extreme values of the stresses. You will also be able to use tables to determine the stresses of structures. The course will also introduce you to the use of tables to determine the quantities of statically indeterminate structures. These are also the basic tasks of the course.

1 cr Beam stresses basic case
1 cr Beam and frame stresses
1 cr Graphical method and use of tables

Qualifications

Statics 1: basic laws of statics and equations of equilibrium, rod forces
