Statics, Advanced Course (3cr)
Course unit code: R-1017
General information
- Credits
- 3 cr
Objectives
The students learn to understand different structural forms and their behaviour in two dimensional statics. They can solve statically determinate structures: their free-body diagrams, equilibrium, support reactions, internal effects and force dia-grams. The students are able to determine the force in moment diagrams for con-tinuous beams by using diagrams and tables
Content
Different statically determinate structures and their members. Simple and com-bined beams, hinged beams, frames and machines, arches, trusses, flexible ca-bles and continuous beams and their free-body diagrams, equilibrium, support re-actions, force and moment diagrams.
