ARSL0212-1  Strength of materials
Duration :  52h Th
Credits/ECTS :  
Bachelier en architecture (St Luc), 2nd yearToute l'année4
Holder(s) :  Jean‑Marie Bleus
Language :  French language
Course contents :  Structural materials and mechanical properties;
Effects on structures and structural requirements;
Fundamental state of constraints: traction, compression (+ buckling)
Shearing;
Stressed and compressed structures;
Complex state of constraints torsion (basic concepts);
Simple flexion;
Compound flexion;
Intuitive approach to structures: post and lintel systems, single, multiple and arched portals; thin shear walls ...
Course objective :  Students should be capable of coherently expressing how structural materials can respond to the effects to which they are subject.
Students should also be able to calculate in basic contemporary cases, the scale of effects, elements of reduction, solicitation, constraint and deformation.
Prerequisites :  Course in Graphostatic Mechanics 1 and 2.
Organization :  Theoretical approaches through practical exercises to small structures encountered in well-known projects or in students' projects.
Written notes :  Introduction à l'Analyse des structures (Marc André Studer and François Frey).
Assessment :  A written exam at the end of term, multiple choice (theory) and exercises covering a large section of the material covered.
