Modeling in Structural Analysis Course code: MUAK | 8 ECTS credits

Basic information
Level of Studies: Undergraduate applied studies
Year of Study: 2
Semester: 3
Requirements:
Goal: Course objective is to acquaint the master of vocational studies with the possibilities of using computers in modelling and numerical analysis of building structures using computer programs for numerical analysis of building structures.
Outcome: Ability to use commercial software packages for modelling and numerical analysis of building structures.
Contents of the course
Theoretical instruction:
  1. A brief overview of numerical methods for the analysis of building structures. Historical development, principles of development and use of the finite element method in numerical analysis and modelling of structures. Finite element method, finite element types, selection of the appropriate finite element for adequate analysis of the structure. Application of the finite element method to the analysis of the behaviour of a building structure in a plane (beams, frames). Numerical elaboration of beam girder analysis. Ability to model the behaviour of building structures for different actions using commercial software.
Practical instruction (Problem solving sessions/Lab work/Practical training):
  1. Introducing students to some of the commercial programs for modelling building structures. Preparation of calculation models of lattice and beam girders, surface and complex structures made of reinforced concrete and steel. Analysis of the behaviour of building structures under the action of various combinations of loads using appropriate commercial software.
