ERGOB1200 Inclusion, Belonging and Social Participation Course description

Admission requirements.

After completing the course, the student is expected to have achieved the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge, skills and general competence:

Knowledge:

The student:

· has advanced knowledge about the simulation, analysis and design of concrete and steel structures

· has in-depth knowledge of the non-linear behaviour of reinforced concrete

· is capable of describing the difference between linear and non-linear structural analysis

· is capable of explaining the theoretical basis for linear and non-linear geometry and material behaviour

· is capable of explaining the theoretical basis for dynamic wind and earthquake loads

· understands the design philosophy behind modern codes in terms of structural capacity, structural demand and how to quantify uncertainties in load and material descriptions.

Skills:

The student is capable of:

· modelling and simulating structures exposed to static and dynamic loads

· selecting appropriate analysis models and carrying out structural analyses for determining internal forces and moments, stress, strain and displacement with a satisfactory degree of accuracy

· performing dynamic analyses of structures exposed to wind and earthquake loading

· choosing appropriate material models and material properties to solve the problem in question

· performing a non-linear element analysis of concrete structures and evaluating the results

· applying the essential code provisions for the design of concrete and steel structures.

General competence:

The student is capable of:

· using FEM software in practical structural analyses

· assessing approaches to and limitations in linear and non-linear analyses

· using scholarly reports and articles to gain an overview of the latest developments in research in the field of non-linear analysis of concrete structures.

Ingen forkunnskapskrav

Four individual assignments, three of which must be approved before the student can take the exam. Students who fail to meet the coursework requirements can be given up to one re-submission opportunity before the exam.

In order to be permitted to sit the exam, the following must have been approved:

• a minimum of 80 per cent attendance in scheduled teaching
• an individual reflection note that describes the group process and the student's own contribution to this, up to 350 words

Coursework requirements relating to INTER1100:

• submitted individual log. Scope: 500 words (+/- 10%). In order to write the log, the student must first attend a seminar over two days.

Kurset gjennomføres ved forelesninger, diskusjoner i plenum og praktiske øvinger med PC.

All aids.

[Assessment parts:

1) All printed and written aids and a calculator that cannot be used to communicate with others.

2) All aids are permitted.]

A grade scale with grades from A to E for pass (with A being the highest grade and E being the lowest pass grade) and F for fail is used in connection with the final assessment.

1) and 2): one internal examiner.

External examiners are used regularly
