Learning outcomes of the course unit

Students will acquire more in-depth knowledge and skills in the area of the application of basic procedures during the creation of computational models and the assembly of entry data. They will be able to model boundary conditions. Furthermore, they will be able to dimension elements and evaluate results. They will acquire more in-depth knowledge in the area of structural optimization.

Prerequisites

Metal structures - design of elements and connections of steel structures. Timber structures - design of elements and connections of timber structures.

Co-requisites

Extension of knowledge of structural mechanics, numerical mathematics, and steel and wooden building structures.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

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

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

A precondition for successful completion of the subject is the submission of an assignment to produce a numerical model of a steel structure. Participation in practical classes is compulsory. The subject is concluded by an electronic examination involving the creation of a numerical model of a given structure.

Course curriculum
