Learning outcomes
The course aims to deliver the concept that a structure is an object capable of transmitting loads. At the end of the course the student is able to: (1) work with one-dimensional and two-dimensional structural models; (2) develop basic codes for structural analysis and verification; (3) use existing computer codes to obtain approximate solutions of the models treated in class.
Course contents
- Stress flow;
- Reactions for statically determinate structures;

- Equilibrium equations;
- Truss structures;
- Arches and cables;
- Stresses and strains;
- Beam bending and corresponding stress state;
- Eccentric loads;
- Shear;
- Stress state;
- Statically indeterminate structures.
