Bachelor, 1st semester
The aim of the subject Structural Systems is to convey the fundamental principles of structures and stresses to enable students to design load-bearing structures independently and to collaborate effectively with engineers. Students learn the basics of forces, moments, and equilibrium. They understand the external forces acting on a structure, such as loads and support reactions, as well as the internal forces that result from them. By understanding the inner force diagrams, they are able to carry out simple verifications for the dimensioning of structural elements subjected to compression, tension, and bending. Throughout the semester, analytical, graphical, digital, and experimental methods are employed. Students learn creatively and experimentally, strengthening their intuitive design of structures from the very beginning.
