Course objectives supported by learning outcomes

Students will learn types of load structures, and will know when to apply them. S/he will learn the problems of the dynamic behavior of structures. After successful completion of the course the student is able to: - calculate the cross section center of gravity and determine the ellipse of inertia, and degrees of width to determine the static structure certainty - to determine response of beams and compute their size - to calculate the axial forces in the rods of a statically truss - to determine the internal forces in statically determinate full beams (console, a simple beam, angle beam, refracted beam, slab and wall) - statically determine the action of certain complex structures (triple articulation arch, gerber`s beam) - to explain the behavior of statically indefinite structures and s/he will theoretically know the ways of their calculation. Based on the information and skills s/he will be able to decide on the choice of a supporting
