Objectives
With this course students should be able to understand, model and calculate hyperstatic reticulated structures, namely:
A. Understand the fundamental principles of the static behaviour of elastic linear reticulated structures.
B. Develop calculation models adapted to common situations found in structural systems.
C. Analyse and solve hyperstatic structures based on stress, displacement and Cross methods.
D. Use Energy Theorems as an expeditious form of structural calculation.
E. Understand and use the influence line theory to calculate the components of support reactions, stresses and displacements for structures
F. Use 2D computational programs to calculate planar reticulated structures as a support tool for analytical verification of results and awareness raising to the factors influencing their structural behaviour.
