Class Structural Systems III

It is intended that the student can have the notion of deformable bodies for the design of structures, like columns and beams.

1. Internal forces in determinate structures: beams
2. Normal loading, stress and deformation
3. Bending: analysis of stresses and deformations
4. Design of bending beams
5. Deflexion of beams

The teaching methodology is based on theoretical and practical exercises related to real structures, in order to motivate students and facilitate their understanding of basic structural concepts. Continuous evaluation with two tests throughout the semester. Approval implies 75% attendance. There is also a final exam for those not approved in the continuous evaluation.
