Learning outcomes of the course unit

The student will learn to solve elementary statically indeterminate frame structures using deflection method. In this course there will be solved planar continuous girder, planar frame and statically indeterminate truss girder, influence of temperature changes and shift of supports. The student will learn basic work with computer program RFEM and SCIA.

Prerequisites

Static analysis of planar statically determinate truss systems, straight and cranked girders. Principle of virtual work and theorem of virtual work reciprocity and calculation of deflection of frame systems by using method of unit forces. Solution of planar frame structures using force method.

Co-requisites

Application of integral number. Solution of linear differential equations.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Teaching is divided into lectures and practice lessons. Teaching is completed by individual consultations. Individual work, which is given within the course, is a part of studying activity of each student. Participation of student on lectures is recommended. Participation of student on practice lessons is required and checked. Methods of teaching depend on way of teaching and these method are written in the article 7 – Studying and Examination rules for BUT.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

Subject is finished by getting credits and passing examination. There are some control tests which are written during the semester in practice lessons. To get credit it is necessary to pass all tests during semester in practice lessons. To be able to do examination it is necessary to get credit. The examination consists of written and oral part. Written part is divided into (include) numerical and theoretic part. To get to the oral part it is necessary to be successful in numerical part.
