Static solution of truss structures and arches including influence lines. Basis of static solution of cable-stayed and suspended structures. Basis of structural dynamics.

Extension of the knowledge in the field of elasticity and plasticity - basic principles of non-linear analysis. Extension of the knowledge of structural dynamics with regards to the solution of the dynamic behaviour of steel bridges.

The course is taught through lectures, practical classes and self-study assignments. Attendance at lectures is optional, but attendance at classes is compulsory.

For the successful graduation of this course it is necessary to static and structural design of steel truss-girder or arch bridge within the exercises, based on the individual task, with the extend given by the teacher. The attendance in the exercises is compulsory. The exam is realized by the written form and its extend follows the course annotation.
