Learning outcomes

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 in-depth knowledge of calculation methods for statically;determinate and indeterminate structures
  • has broad knowledge of the functions of a selection of common structures
  • is familiar with the design process and relevant standards
  • is familiar with bracing principles for buildings
  • is familiar with the design principles for steel-, timber- and concrete structures

Skills

The student is capable of:

  • performing buckling calculations for simple constructions with axial loads
  • applying the unit load method to calculate statically indeterminate structures and calculating deformation using the reduction postulate
  • analysing simple frames using the moment distribution method
  • analysing influence lines for statically determinate structures
  • designing appropriate wind bracing
  • determining relevant loads and load combinations in accordance with standards
  • designing simple;steel-, timber- and concrete cross sections
  • performing simple static calculations using computer program;

General competence

The student is capable of:

  • planning and carrying out the first design phase for a building, including assessment of the;load distribution to the different;structures
  • assessing and analysing various load-bearing systems
  • evaluating and verifying the output from computer program
