Summary
In this subject there are given information about non-linear behavior of building structures and building materials. There are discussed problems of structural non-linearity, of constitutive modelling which includes time-dependent problems and basics of fracture mechanics. There are also discussed problems of geometrical non-linearity. Methods of solution of these problems are also introduced. The practical part of the subject is based on solution of typical problems with use on analytical and numerical methods.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
Knowledge in the area of non-linear problems in civil engineering. Ability to identify a suitable computational model and procedure for given problem.
