Frame Structures (5cr)

Objective

Competence in the construction process
Students are able to identify statically indeterminate bar structures. Students understand the basics of curved bar structures.

Competence in structural engineering
Students are able to determine the degree of static indeterminacy and the degree of lateral displacement. Students are able to solve the displacement and stress state of statically indeterminate bar structures. Students are able to solve the stresses of a statically determinate curved bar structure.
