Introduction
Geoteknikk: Emnet gir grunnlag for å kunne vurdere og beregne grunnens stabilitet og bæreevne for veg- og byggeprosjekter på ulike løsmasser. Det gis grunnlag for å beregne belastninger som påføres konstruksjoner fra jord- og vanntrykk.
Vegbygging: Emnet bygger på Vegvesenets retningslinjer for utførelse (N200 med aktuelle veiledere. Høringsutgave april 2017), samt laboratorietesting relatert til vegbygging (R210). Studenten blir kjent med: Grunnprinsippene for bygging og dimensjonering av veger og gater. Vurdering av underbygning og grunnforhold. Krav til bæreevnemessig dimensjonering og frostsikring av vegoverbygningen iht. gjeldende normaler. Den norske dimensjoneringstabell. Beskrivelse av vegbyggingsmaterialer og drenering av veger. Laboratorieundersøkelser.
Required preliminary courses
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 is familiar with:
- matrix statics and the finite element method
- second order deflection theory
- plastic theory
Skills
The student is capable of:
- conducting manual calculations using matrix statics
- conducting rupture strength calculations for beams and frames based on plastic flow
- using theory and FEM software to design specific structures, such as trusses, arches, frames, girder lattices etc., that will be exposed to different loads (including temperature loads)
General competence
The student:
- is capable of explaining the principles of element analysis
- is capable of critically assessing the results when comparing theoretical and numerical calculations
- understands the difference between elastic and plastic capacity
Learning outcomes
Lectures and exercises.
Teaching and learning methods
The following coursework is compulsory and must be approved before the student can sit the exam:
- 3 of 4 assigment
Course requirements
Individual written exam, 3 hours.
The exam results can be appealed.
Assessment
