Learning outcomes: Knowledge Student knows basic arrangements of forces and their possible transformations; understands rules of construction of static schemes and principles of load assignement; knows equilibrium conditions of flat and spatial force systems; knows methods of determination of inner forces in flat girders like grids, singel-span and multi-span beams and frames. Student is acknowledged of the friction phenomena. Skills Student is able to determine static schemes of given structures; can identify statically determinable and overrigid structures; is able to build equations of equilibrium; can determine reactions and cross-section forces in beam, frame and grid structures.
Competences: Student is aware of the importance of proper structural calculations for safety of their exploitation. Student understands his personal responsibility for accuracy of calculations and its consequences.
Prerequisites: Mathematics, physics.
