Inhoud

The valid fiche can be found at the following link: CNST - H526. Change the language to English in the dropdown menu on top of the page.

This course is an introduction to the methods of form-finding and structural optimisation, with an emphasis on trusses, frames, and grid shell structures. The course consists of theoretical seminars introducing the subject, and a project in which the form-finding and/or structural optimisation methods are applied on a case study.

Leerresultaten

Algemene competenties

The students understand the fundamentals of various form finding and structural optimisation methods, and can apply them onto various types of structures (trusses, arches, frames, grid shells, ...).

The students know the assumptions and limits of the form finding and structural optimisation methods, and understand their consequences on the optimum that is found.
