The aim of the subject "Structural Systems" is to convey the fundamental principles of structural design for load-bearing constructions and for meaningful collaboration with engineers. Students learn to understand simple structural systems (Beams, Trusses, Cables and Arches), their loads and supports, internal forces, and the approximate determination of component dimensions. Various methods are used, including computational, graphical, digital, and experimental approaches.
The course consists of a lecture and in-depth exercises. The performance is assessed through student group projects and evaluated in an exam.
Number of credit points: 4 cp
