Learning outcomes of the course unit

Students will master the subject targets, it being the knowledge of the influence of moving loading on both statically determinate and indeterminate structures using influence lines, next determination of extremes, next influence of variable cross-section and analysis of thin-walled cross-sections (both opened and closed ones). He will master basic knowledge in the field of stability of frame structures and elasto-plastic analysis of structures consisting of bars.
