Course curriculum

1. Introduction, the view of the program’s systems.
2. Co-ordinate systems, convention of the internal forces.
3. Material properties, types of the members, characteristics of the cross-section.
4. Geometry of the structure : plain systems, spatial systems.
5. Constrains : supporting of the structure, cooperation of the members.
6. Load: types of the load,the load in accordance with ULS, combination of load state.
7. The analysis of the structure : linear solution of the stress and strain.
8. The stability. The buckling length of the press and bending bar.
9. Judgement of the members in accordance with the CSN, EC.
10. Simple cases of the structure nelinearity : absence of the bars, absence of the supports.
