Statics (4cr)

Objective

Occupational and environmental safety in construction
Students know how to apply the principles of statics into simple temporary structures built on sites.

Competence in structural engineering
Students know the two basic concepts of statics, the force and the momentum. The know how to draw free body diagrams and how to form equilibrium equations by means of free body diagrams. They are able to utilise the free body diagrams and equilibrium equations to determine support reactions and internal forces of simple bar structures. Students can make a difference between statically determined and indetermined bar structures.

Content

? Force, components of force and force resultants
