Frame StructuresLaajuus (5 cr)

Code: 8D00DR34

Objective

Competence in the construction process
The student recognizes a typical statically indeterminate bar structure. The student recognizes typical arch structures.

Competence in structural engineering
The student will be competent in recognizing statically indeterminate bar structures. They will know how to solve strains, displacements and internal forces of statically indeterminate bar structures in different load cases. The student know how to solve internal forces for statically determinate arch structure.
