Statics of Structures 2 Course code: STK2 | 8 ECTS credits
Basic information
Level of Studies:
Undergraduate applied studies
Year of Study:
2
Semester:
4
Requirements:
Completed pre-exam from the course Statics of structures 1
Goal:
Mastering the principles of structural analysis of statically indeterminate solid girders and trusses, and calculations of displacement and rotation of statically determinate girders and training to independently find solution for such girders as elements of construction structures.
Outcome:
Statics on structures 2 contributes to educational objective with providing graduate students – engineers to independently calculate construction structures as well as properly recognize static systems of individual elements of structures at a construction site, which is especially important at the phase of facility construction.
During lectures and exercises numerous cases will be analyzed, as well as home work and other independent assignments which include static calculations of the girders that occur in practice and which they are most likely to encounter in their future work places.
Contents of the course
Theoretical instruction:
- Displacements of solid and statically determinate truss beams, principle of virtual displacements,principle of virtual forces and its implementation on displacement calculation and rotation due to the specified load, temperature and displacement of supports.
- Statically indeterminate elements, calculation using force method, determination of static indeterminacy, formation of a basic system, formation of conditional equations and their solutions, determining the reaction and transversal forces of statically indeterminate elements.
- Statically indeterminate elements, calculation usingtrue method of deformations, kinematic indeterminacy of a elements, matrix analysis, direct procedure, plate girders, trusses.
- Superficial elements, flat superficial elements – plates, forces in a cross-section, bent plates, post-tensioned slabs.
- Application of ready-made computer programs – software on the calculation of different static values.
Practical instruction (Problem solving sessions/Lab work/Practical training):
- The content of theoretical instruction transferred into practical application through exercises and practical exercises in teaching bases
