Calculation and Dimensioning of Structures I

The lecture Calculation and Dimensioning of Structures is aimed at prospective vocational school teachers and lasts two semesters. In the winter semester the module "Calculation and Dimensioning of Structures I" takes place. In this module a basic knowledge about the terms and the methods of statics and strength theory as well as about the most important load-bearing systems is compiled and the integration of the load-bearing elements, i.e. the structure into the overall context of a building is represented.

For this purpose, practical static calculations are carried out and the structural elements are designed. The static mode of action of the load-bearing systems is illustrated by experiments with structural models and by examples from the past and present.

Learning Outcomes

After participating in the module "Calculation and Dimensioning of Structures I", students will be able to understand and calculate actions (dead weight, snow, wind) and effects (sliding, tilting, internal forces) on structures and their parts. They are able to apply graphical as well as mathematical methods to determine support reactions and to understand the context in the overall system.
