Structural Engineering (Construction up until 2½ floor) (EN)
2020/2021- Purpose
The 2nd semester Structural Engineering will introduce you to identifying, explaining and defining:
• Equilibrium & Stability
• Load & Load paths within design of superstructure and substructure
• Dimensioning structural members with rules of thumb
• Collision control services and structural elements
By meeting the objectives of this topic you will have gained knowledge and understanding of:
• Basic knowledge and understanding of structural behavior, equilibrium and stability.
• Basic knowledge and understanding of different necessary structural members as a part of the superstructure and the substructure.
• Basic knowledge and understanding of how to estimate (dimension) structural members
• Basic knowledge within structural drawings.
• Basic knowledge within assessing the load bearing and stabilizing system, showing how loads are transferred to the ground - Type of instruction and
practical application of learning objectives
The teaching is based on the understanding that learning is most efficient if students are given the opportunity to work with real-life assignments from, or inspired by, companies in relevant industries.
When choosing a project, the possibility of incorporating the academic and professional challenges throughout the semester into the project must be taken into account.
The students are given the opportunity to be involved in the various project phases, from preliminary analysis to realisation of the project. In connection with the project work, the students are faced with real-life problems to be solved based on the given theory, and are to organise the work in such a way that deadlines can be met. The students are furthermore provided with the necessary qualifications to work independently, thereby preparing them to complete the final project as an individual assignment.
This working method allows the students to gain an understanding of how problems are identified and analysed, how solution models are set up, and how the right solution is adopted. - Exam
