Basics of StaticsLaajuus (6 cr)
Code: 5R00GQ45
Credits
6 op
Objectives
After completing the course, the student learns to calculate the loads on buildings, self-weight of structures, snow load, useful load and wind load in accordance with the Eurocode.
After completing the course, the student masters the basic concepts of statics, free-body images of structures, support reactions, equilibrium equations, stresses and their resultants and effects. The student understands what the different forms of stress mean. The student controls statically determined structures and knows how to determine their stress patterns and the stresses to be dimensioned. He can calculate and draw the stresses of a single-span and cantilever beam.
Content
Basic concepts of statics, basic laws of mechanics and force vector. The resultant and components of the force acting on the particle and the equilibrium of the particle. Force system of a rigid body
reduction, load types, support methods, structural model, balance, support reactions and strain patterns.
Simple beams, strain patterns.
