Teaching methods
The course content will be entirely covered by the lectures. The course includes some laboratory sessions, which will cover the practical aspects of the lectures. The instructors will tutor the students.
Assessment methods
A final oral examination is planned. The exam is generally planned as follows:
- Resolution of an isostatic structure.
- Cross-section verification.
- Open question related to the theory.
Teaching tools
The teaching tools are overhead projector, projector and PC.
