Structural Mechanics, Advanced Course

Bachelor of Civil Engineering or equal

In demanding and exceptionally demanding structural design: The student is able to apply - basic laws of mechanics - the relation between the actual structure and the support conditions - Hooks’ law The student is able to take into account - Euler's buckling theory and is able to connect structures to Euler's buckling theory - that the eccentricity of the load can cause a significant additional load - the eccentricity of the actual structure and is able to build a free-form pattern from it and to solve the additional stresses caused by the eccentricity The student is able to calculate and examine - manually and with FEM programs to check the internal stresses of the more common structural models - the internal forces and bending of truss and perimeter structures - bending, shear, tensile and compressive stresses and deformations of structural members The student is able to identify - eccentricity
