Dynamical earthquake stresses in engineering structures and specific design and dimensioning principles

Previous knowledge expected

The course requires basic understanding of the scientific foundations of the Bachelor’s program, and in particular basic knowledge of:
(a) Mechanics,
(b) Structural analysis and strength of materials,
(d) Construction of beam structures and
(e) Construction of shell structures.

Objective (expected results of study and acquired competences)

Students will acquire the following skills with regard to the special structures presented above:
(a) To understand, interpret and assess their statical and mechanical properties and functions,
(c) to combine the relevant findings into the design, dimensioning and constructive detailing of a structural component
(d) to join knowledge gained in the current course and its accompanying courses within the bachelor program for a structural design plan, a general project, the associated cost estimation and the assessment of the environmental compatibility.
