Statically Indeterminate Frame StructuresLaajuus (4 cr)

Objective

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

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

Content

• Degree of statical indeterminancy
• Force method
• Sway- and non-sway structure
• Moment method
• Temperature effects
• Effect of support movement

Qualifications

Statics, Linear Algebra.
