Learning outcomes of the course unit

Not applicable.

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

Co-requisites

Knowledge of mathematics, physics, statistics and informatics are very beneficial.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Teaching methods depend on the type of course unit as specified in the article 7 of BUT Rules for Studies and Examinations.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

Methods of assessment are for this subject very specific becase it is individual work of student under heading of supervisor resulting in final theses.

Course curriculum

1. individual assignment
2. analysis of the task
3. study and literature review, study of standards
4 suggestion of analysis procedure of a partial problem
5. utilization of available software for an analysis of the problem
6. study of manuals of the software programs
7. creation of a computational model
8. parametric study of the partial problem
9. evaluation of the study
10. assessment of results obtained, creation of conclusions

Work placements

Aims

During this course a student learns 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.
