Offer 1 with catalog number 1015498BNR for all students in the 2nd semester at a (B) Bachelor - advanced level.
The student receives an introduction to the stability of structures. The student obtains knowledge on general methods for the analysis of structures. Applying the proper displacement method or force method, the student is able to determine the reaction and section forces in hyperstatic structures. Also the evaluation of the most unfavourable effect of mobile loads applied on a structure by determining influence lines of displacements, reaction and section forces for isostatic structures becomes one of the student's capabilities. De student thus learns how to verify whether a structure is strong, stiff and stable enough is. The student sees this verification in the context of Eurocode principles.
