Course contents :
|
| Graphical determination of the diagrams of effects of actions in staticaly determinate structures.
Elastic methods of structural analysis : Introduction - Basic theorems - Flexibility method (classical) - Stiffness method (classical, simplified, use of software) - Moment distribution method - Trusses - Influence lines
Plastic global analysis (basic theorems, static and kinematic methods) - Basic notions of critical load - Second order effects
Worked examples. |
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| The course begins by the graphic determination of diagrams of effects of action in statically determinate structures.
This course is particularly dedicated to the analysis of statically undeterminate structures.
Deliver the background of the methods of global analysis and train to the determination of internal forces and displacements in a given structure subjected to a given loading. |
|
Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :
|
| Course on mechnics of materials |
|
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
|
| A substantial part of the lectures is devoted to exercises and worked examples. |
|
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
|
| Lectures and exercises are organised alternately. Some marked exercices are organised during the courses, with advance notice to the students.
Usually, the course is organised in spring, on Thursday afternoon, from 13:30 to 5:30 |
|
Recommended or required readings :
|
| Available. |
|
Assessment methods and criteria :
|
| Separate oral (theory) and written (exercises) examinations.
30% for the marked tests made during the year. For the first test (on statically determinate structures), points are only obtained after having answered correctly to the first half of the questions. Questions on this topic are being asked in all remaining tests
30% for the written examination
40% for the oral examination. It is a prerequesit to the exam to be able to determine quickly the effects of action in a statically determinated structure. Failing to do so leads to a "fail" for the exam. |

Organizational remarks :
|
| Electronic files containing the lecture notes, as well as a copy of the slides, are distributed to the students |
