Units courses prerequisite and corequisite

Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program

Learning unit contents

Elastic methods of structural analysis : Introduction - Basic theorems - Flexibility method (classical) - Stiffness method (classical, simplified, use of software) - Moment distribution method - Influence lines Plastic global analysis (basic theorems, static and kinematic methods) Worked examples.

Learning outcomes of the learning unit

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.
The complete list of the KLO for this course is defined in the matrix available at the following address: https://www.programmes.uliege.be/cocoon/20182019/formations/descr/A2UCON01.html 

Prerequisite knowledge and skills

Course on mechnics of materials
FUNDAMENTAL: The student must absolutely master determination of effects of actions in statically determined structures

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

A substantial part of the lectures is devoted to exercises to be solved by the students or worked out by the assistant.

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.

Recommended or required readings

Lecture notes are available at "La centrale des cours".
Powerpoint presentations will be available.

Assessment methods and criteria

Written exam covering both theory and exercises. 
40% for the marked tests made during the year. 
60% for the written examination
The marks obtained at the tests during the year are considered only if they don't penalize the final mark (this is judged for each test separately).
It is a prerequesit to this course to be able to determine the effects of action in a statically determinate structure. Failing to do so leads to a "fail" for the course.

Work placement(s)

Organizational remarks

In 2017-2018, the course will be during the first quadrimester, on Monday from 1:30 to 5:30 pm.
