Study Guide

Objectives

The student understands the connections between stresses and loads in both beam, plane and 3-dimensional structures.
The student can use mathematical methods to determine the support reactions, stresses, deformations of both statically determined and undetermined structures and choose a suitable solution.
He separates the statically indeterminate structure from the determinate one and knows how to determine the static force quantities of a continuous beam and perimeter using various table methods and dimensioning software.
The student understands the difference between elastic and plastic bending of a beam and recognizes the principle of the yield joint and the use of the Gerber joint. The student knows the strength and
deformation properties and their multiplicity, which are needed to control the stability of load-bearing structures.
He understands the dependencies between stress, tension and deformation.
