Learning outcomes of the course unit

Student will learn to use theoretical knowledge obtained in previous subjects of static orientation for solution of problems in civil engineering practise. The knowledge about basic principles of mechanics and their application in finite elements method will be improved. After finishing the course he will be able to use computational programs based on finite elements method. Students will be skilled in solution comprehensive projects with their aspects like analysis of a task, study of literature and codes, a specifying of loads, a solution and analysis of results, an assessment and a conclusions.

Prerequisites

diagrams of the internal forces on a beam, equilibrium, physical and geometrical equations for a beam, the stresses, the internal forces, the deformations and the displacements for a beam, a plane, a plate and a solid, basic of the finite element method, principle of an assessment of building structures
