Learning outcomes of the course unit

Students will acquire more in-depth knowledge and skills in the area of the construction of a geometrical model of a structure, including the application of load. They will be able to model boundary conditions and determine buckling lengths. Furthermore, they will be able to carry out an analysis of a structure, including the execution of an evaluation of individual elements.

Prerequisites

Static action of bearing systems, rules for design of steel structures. Metal structures - design of elements and connections of steel structures. Timber structures - design of elements and connections of timber structures.

Co-requisites

Extension of knowledge of structural mechanics and steel engineering structures.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

The course is taught through lectures, practical classes and self-study assignments. Attendance at lectures is optional, but attendance at classes is compulsory.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

A precondition for successful completion of the subject is the submission of an assignment to produce a numerical model of a steel structure. Participation in practical classes is compulsory. The subject is concluded by an electronic examination involving the creation of a numerical model of a given structure.
