Objectives
Developing skills for solving problems on statics of particles and rigid bodies at rest in line with the current civil engineering applications.
Program
1.Introduction to vectorial mechanics. 2.Applied Statics: loading systems; support conditions; structural systems. 3.Concept and properties of hinges, pistons and slides. 4.Equilibrium of isostatic structures: support reactions, free-body diagrams and internal forces. 5.Plane trusses: stability methods to determine axial forces. 6.Cables.
Evaluation Methodology
A written test (80%),where the student must get at least 9.5/20 values; proposed works(20%).
