Grading of the course requires grading of the following courses:

Structural Mechanics 2 (132ST02)

Lecturer:

Jan Zeman (guarantor), Petr Řeřicha (guarantor)

Tutor:

Jan Zeman (guarantor), Petr Řeřicha (guarantor)

Supervisor:

Department of Mechanics

Synopsis:

Deflections by the principle of virtual work. Statically indeterminate planar frames and trusses, force method. Slope deflection method and Cross (moment distribution) method for frames. Secondary moments in trusses. Prerequisities:Statically determinate planar frames, trusses and gridworks (balconies), reactions, internal forces diagrams. Active knowledge and expedience is required in solving examples. Reasonable minimum is 8 credits in structural mechanics

Requirements:

For Civil Engineering students: 132SM2E, for Erasmus students: Statically determinate planar frames, trusses and gridworks (balconies), reactions, internal forces diagrams. Active knowledge and expedience is required in solving examples.

8 credits in structural mechanics are reasonable minimum.

Syllabus of lectures:

Syllabus of tutorials:

Numerical examples on the above topics in class and in regular homework tasks.

Study Objective:

Ability to solve internal forces and deformations of planar frames and trusses and gridwork structures applying the force or displacement method. Some techniques of the finite element method.
