Special problems of building mechanics

Students will deepen their knowledge of the subjects of Fundamentals of Structural Mechanics, Elastity and Plasticity I and II, Structural Mechanics and Statical Calculations in Engineering in the course Special Tasks of Building Mechanics. Students will be acquainted with energy principles and variational methods in building mechanics and with tasks of nonlinear mechanics (physical non-linearity, geometrical non-linearity, theory of IInd order, final deformation). They will learn to use the principle of virtual works for the calculation of strain structures according to theory IInd order and final deformations. Part of the course is also a force method and a direct stiffness method with a focus on solving problems according to theory IInd order.
