The student will learn the structural analysis of statically indeterminate bar structures by the force method, namely plane frames, planar bar systems, continuous girders, statically indeterminate trusses, influence of the temperature changes and shifts of the supports.

Linear algebra, fundaments of matrix calculus, solutions of systems of linear algebraic equations, vector calculus, analytic geometry, derivative of a function, the indefinite and definite integral, applications of the integral.

Applications of the integral. Solutions of linear differential equations.

Teaching methods depend on the type of course unit as specified in the article 7 of BUT Rules for Studies and Examinations. Methods of teaching are lectures and exercises. Individual consultations complement teaching. Study activities of students includes entering his own independent work. Attendance at lectures is recommended. Participation in other classes is required and controlled.

The subject is finished by abridged examination and final examination. For abridged exam the student should pass all written tests in exercises. The abridged exam is the necessary condition for final examination entrance. The final examination consists of written and oral parts. The written examination may contain both examples and the theoretical questions. The positive result in written examination allows the student to pass to oral part.
