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 evaluation of individual elements.

Prerequisites

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 a timber building 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.

Course curriculum

1. Introduction, the view of the program’s systems.
2. Co-ordinate systems, convention of the internal forces.
3. Material properties, types of the members, characteristics of the cross-section.
4. Geometry of the structure : plain systems, spatial systems.
5. Constrains : supporting of the structure, cooperation of the members.
6. Load: types of the load,the load in accordance with ULS, combination of load state.
7. The analysis of the structure : linear solution of the stress and strain.
8. The stability. The buckling length of the press and bending bar.
9. Judgment of the members.
10. Simple cases of the structure nelinearity : absence of the bars, absence of the supports.
